At the film's&nbsp;premiere in August 2000, superstar and style savant Kirsten Dunst certainly brought her A game with a look we're still thinking about 25 years later.&nbsp;

L&rsquo;HISTOIRE explores fashion history moments you should know, from what actors wore on a red carpet to celebrities who made cameos on the runway. Some are unsung, and some are better known. Each is part of the fabric of today&rsquo;s fashion world, be it barrier breakers or culture makers.
It's no secret that the 2000s were a decade of endless iconic fashion moments. Even today, we seek style inspiration from the past, looking towards our favorite Y2K era <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/adriana-lima-young-modeling-photos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">models</a>, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/influential-fashion-designers-2000s-alexander-mcqueen-marc-jacobs-zac-posen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">designers</a>, and Hollywood stars for sartorial guidance. But as any student of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gen-z-y2k-millennial-90s-fashion-nostalgia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">early aughts crazes</a> knows, there's one modish muse in particular who pops up time and time again: Kirsten Dunst.&nbsp;
Over the years, Dunst has had numerous style transformations&mdash;think her brief redhead era, or her unforgettable appearance as Marie Antoinette in <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/kirsten-dunst-sofia-coppola-new-film-details" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sofia Coppola</a>'s 2006 film&mdash;but one timeless element weaves all these instances together: authenticity.&nbsp;
No matter where she is or what she's doing, Dunst has always been aesthetically authentic. Perhaps this is why her Aug. 22, 2000, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/men/young-orlando-bloom-red-carpet-photos-style" target="_blank" rel="noopener">red carpet</a> look for the Bring It On&nbsp;premiere has stood the true test of time as a memorable moment in fashion history.&nbsp;

Dunst's vibrant green dress&mdash;accented with romantic blue florals, an asymmetrical shoulder, and a brilliant bias cut silhouette&mdash;was designed by the one and only <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/john-galliano-dior-sex-sacrilege-controversial-haute-couture-2000" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Galliano</a> for Dior's Spring/Summer 2000 collection. Not only was the sensational silky creation effortlessly chic&mdash;and oh so Kirsten-core&mdash;flowy <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/halle-berry-fringe-bralette-vest-flared-denim-red-carpet-mtv-awards-1993" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fringed</a> trim also incorporated a hint of the actor's quintessential edgy, yet charming persona. Ruffled trim and a backless component also make for the perfect playful, yet flirty look that every ing&eacute;nue deserves.&nbsp;
Plus, with strappy heels and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/does-sunscreen-prevent-tanning" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tan lines</a> to boot,&nbsp;The Virgin Suicides&nbsp;actor toed the line between fun summertime style, perfectly appropriate for the teen comedy movie premiere, and red carpet wow-factor. This balancing act also reminds us of why she remains a style icon for teen girls and fellow Hollywood stars alike.
Alongside the dreamy dress, Dunst rocked a sophisticated, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/fall-winter-2025-hairstyle-trends-inspiration-prada-chanel-boho-bed-hair" target="_blank" rel="noopener">slicked-back</a> hair look, classic Y2K <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/blue-eyeshadow-makeup-color-trend-is-back-inspo-shopping" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blue eyeshadow</a>, and stylish statement earrings, making for an ensemble that forever exudes the kind of pared-back elegance that makes for the ultimate red carpet look.
