. . . have yet to see melancholia, directed by lars von trier and starring kirsten dunst, charlotte gainsbourg and kiefer sutherland, but have become completely mesmerised and madly enchanted by the wedding dress kirsten dunst's character, justine, wears at the beginning of the film -- strapless and corseted, and layers upon magical layers of tulle, and most of all, a stunningly romantic circlet of silk roses dancing about bare shoulders . . .













{p.s.} the film premiered at the cannes film festival // the costume design was by manon rasmussen // trailer // soundtrack
