In the latest installment of Who Wore It Best, the Fug Girls take on __Christy Turlington__and Kirsten Dunst, who both appear to have a fascination with a certain French queen.

Marie Antoinette is fertile fashion ground: Even Professional Arbiter of Dopeness __Kanye West__spent much of last year blathering about treating Kim like the French queen (presumably minus the unromantic beheading, although that would be the only way to top her second divorce). In fairness, he's not alone; Marie's makeup, wigs, beauty marks, and creamy cleavage have inspired everything from biopics to the most recent cover of Love magazine, on which Christy Turlington sports a looser, almost punky take on the ill-fated queen. It's a vivid clash with another of the French queen’s last interpreters, Kirsten Dunst in the eponymous 2006 film. So, whose slender neck wears the Antoinette mantle best?

__Sofia Coppola’s__movie got a lot of flack for being all style and no substance, but at least she cleaved to the former with panache. However, somehow star Kirsten still looks staid compared with our fantasies of Marie’s wanton profligacy, and definitely when juxtaposed with Turlington; Dunst has the period accuracy, but Christy nails the spirit with an air of avant-garde hippie hedonism. In other words, that cover look is cracked out and completely awesome. From the undone hair to the leggy gown to the rose brandished like a cigarette, she’s Marie Antoinette by way of the “November Rain,” video. While Kirsten played her role to the hilt as directed, it’'s far more fun seeing the supermodel give it some true interpretive swagger. Let Dunst eat cake; Christy is our Queen.
