Kirsten Dunst in Town & Country Prompts a Look at Marie Antoinette's White Women World

AOC Delves into Sofia Coppola’s White World of Women
Hollywood actor Kirsten Dunst covers the September 2025 issue of Town & Country [IG], interviewed by Mickey Rapkin in ‘Cool Girl Colossus’. Dunst is styled by Deborah Afshani in images by Tina Tyrell [IG].
Late Emerging Criticism of Economic and Racial Realities in ‘Marie Antoinette’
While there was no serious race-related pushback against the film initially, over time Coppola’s preoccupation with a “privileged white woman’s problems” has become a source of criticism. Even agreeing that Marie Antoinette can be viewed universally, critics and students both insist that Coppola’s world of women is white and preferably rich.
In her Town & Country interview, Dunst reveals that she just finished reading a script for director Sofia Coppola’s latest film project.
Kirsten Dunst and Sofia Coppola have collaborated on four feature films: The Virgin Suicides [1999], Marie Antoinette [2006], The Bling Ring [2013], and The Beguiled [2017]. Dunst starred in the first three films and had a cameo in the fourth.

Prada Galleria Bag Fall 2025 'Totem of Change' Rituals Film with Scarlett Johansson
Prada ambassador Scarlett Johansson fronts her third Prada Galleria [IG] bag campaign, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos. Prada regular Ferdinando Verderi provided creative direction for a handbag Prada calls a “totem of change.”
It’s the first time the two creatives Johansson and Lanthimos have worked together.
A totem of change: It’s indisputable that the Prada Galleria campaign is focused on rituals, which have evolved among humans for thousands of years and are closely aligned with religion and spirituality. When you call a handbag a “totem of change”, this creative team is placing the Galleria on a significant pedestal.
The Prada campaign lovingly mocks rituals with Johannson embracing a very long — and seemingly absurd to-do list given her by an ‘other’ self — in the execution of her particular ceremony.
From the standpoint of human psychology, Carl Jung called Johansson’s other self, the “shadow self”, and we see her operating in the film.

Abbey Lee Covers Vogue Australia September 2025 in Images by Dan Jackson
Vogue Australia September 2025 [IG] finds Abbey Lee [Kershaw] at home in her Williamsburg, Brooklyn loft preparing for her eighth cover for the magazine. She shares the loft with her partner Milo.
Writer Alison Veness visits Abbey Lee weeks before the debut of the new Netflix series ‘Black Rabbit’ starring Jude Law and Jason Bateman on September 18.
The difference between modelling and acting, Abbey Lee says, is like night and day. “I mean, modelling is financially fulfilling, and you get to travel around the world, but at the end of the day a model has one very simple task. As an actor, it’s about your voice, your mind, your emotions, your physicality and your intelligence.”

Edward Enninful [IG] embarks on a big week in his latest — and greatest — fashion industry, personal metamorphosis with his inaugural Moncler Genius collection, titled Moncler x EE72. Edward has worked with Moncler in the past, but not in his official capacity as designer.
Moncler and Enninful bring this Moncler x EE72 vision to life with a window display at Saks Fifth Avenue’s New York Flagship, timed with the start of New York Fashion Week. The presentation spans seven windows at 5th Avenue and 50th Street.
Tonight September 12 Edward will officially launch his new quarterly 72 Magazine.
My copy of 72 Magazine is on the way, and you can buy yours right on the landing page. Smart. It’s not oversized at 9x12 [shucks] and the price is $20 + $10 shipping.

Sydney Sweeney, Caught in the Moment by Elizaveta Porodina for WSJ Magazine
Sydney Sweeney is the ‘woman of the hour’ today and not because of her gorgeous photoshoot by Elizaveta Porodina [IG] in the September 2025 issue of WSJ Magazine [IG].
She’s not the ‘woman of the hour’ because of a led-by-the-right to bait-the-left manufactured controversy over her recent American Eagle ads.
We don’t know yet if Charlie Kirk’s killer, now-in-custody Tyler Robinson, 22, took him out over the Sydney Sweeney American Eagle manufactured-by-the-right controversy. His laundry list of hate will be revealed in the coming days.
The reason Sydney Sweeney is loud and proud today is because her November 2025 release ‘Christy’ movie trailer dropped hours ago, and it’s a blockbuster.

AOC has turned to Google AI to help educate readers on the September 10th murder of Right-wing Conservative Activist and Speaker Charlie Kirk on a stage at Utah Valley University, in Orem, Utah.
Kirk, age 31, was one of the most influential, conservative voices in the MAGA, pro-Trump movement.
In this terrible moment for America, I think it’s preferable to use Google AI to answer my questions about Charlie Kirk and his beliefs. That way, anyone can double-check my assertions and where they came from.

The New LuxExperience Platform

The acquisition positions the new luxury brands internet platform to become the largest player in luxury e-commerce.

Equestrians Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner in Grand Tetons for American Vogue October 2025
Superdupers Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner cover the October 2025 issue of American Vogue [IG].
KenGi heads for Jackson Hole, Wyoming in the fashion story styled by Tabitha Simmons at Diamond Cross Ranch [IG]. Photographer Lachlan Bailey [IG] shoots his first American Vogue cover story at Diamond Cross Ranch.
Chloe Malle, named the new Head of Editorial Content at Vogue US, is on the interview. The dialogue is heavier than spun sugar on a stick at the state fair — almost folksy — but definitely apolitical, no comentary about the world writ large. Just two longtime, down-home friends having a scat style, verbal bubblebath. And Chloe Malle writes it all down in short, crisp sentences.
