In an industry where having two to three divorces is deemed as normal, 34-year-old Kirsten Dunst has been taking her sweet time with settling down. The actress exited a four-year relationship in 2016, and then found herself engaged to “Fargo” co-star Jesse Plemons in early 2017. However, Kirsten said she’s not in a hurry to wed.
Kirsten showed off her massive engagement ring on the red carpet of the 2017 Academy Awards. The actress was present to support her “Hidden Figures” family’s three nominations.

If Brandon Maxwell and Zac Posen were to collaborate on a red carpet gown, we imagine Kirsten’s dress would be the result. However, the gorgeous custom ball gown was actually by Christian Dior. The black dress was really simple, relying entirely on its structure to provide the drama. The dress emphasized Kirsten’s curves in all the right places, and the unique high-cut back provided a bit more interest to the look.
Kirsten finished her look with earrings and a necklace from Niwaka, a Roger Vivier clutch and a pair of Christian Lacroix pumps that she’s previously worn.

We love how Kirsten’s look was simple, but still had that “wow” factor. However, we wish the “Bring It On” star’s stylist brought a portable garment steamer, since the dress seemed to wrinkle easily. Either that, or Kirsten wore it straight from the box.
Kirsten wasn’t shy about letting the cameras zoom in on her ring when asked to show it off. She was, however, noticeably tight-lipped about her personal life as she gave vague answers to the reporter’s questions.
Kirsten’s Christian Lacroix pumps are no longer available online. Check out the gorgeous Manolo Blahnik “Volvonapla” pumps instead at Saks Fifth Avenue.
