Caberet Queens

I've always been leery of the prospect of Kirsten Dunst playing Debbie Harry in a Blondie biopic. Didn't think she had the vibe, and "Dick" and "Bring It On" -- her best films -- were a very long time ago. (I'm not the only one who feels this way.) But this recent photo of the "Melancholia" star, below, sort of reminded me of "In the Flesh" era Deb, and has me rethinking my skepticism.

Debbie's been recently quoted as saying her black beret, black dress and high boots look was one of her favorite looks -- I concur -- and now I'm starting to totally picture Kirsten telling some little girls lies in that getup, too.

And speaking of berets, it's a look on women I must say I'm partial to, with only Faye Dunaway doing it more justice than my Deb. (Flawless!)

Here are a few other beret babes who made it work, too:

Anything Goes: Lauren Bacall

Two Little Girls From Little Rock: Marilyn (and Jane)

Nutty but Gorgeous: Brigitte Bardot

Boystown: Ferris Bueller
