Dunst strikes regal pose as young Marie Antoinette

Madonna struck a pose as Marie Antoinette in a performance of her "Vogue" video at the 1990 MTV Video Music Awards. Now, Kirsten Dunst is doing it — in the pages of Vogue magazine.

Dunst, who plays a young Antoinette in Sofia Coppola's upcoming film, was photographed by Annie Leibovitz at the Palace of Versailles — where many of the scenes for "Marie Antoinette" were shot — for the September issue of Vogue, on newsstands Tuesday.

The 24-year-old actress wears a series of dramatic floor-length gowns by designers such as Alexander McQueen and John Galliano, and by Milena Canonero, the costume designer for the film.

"You breathe differently in those dresses; you move in a special way," Dunst said.
