Kirsten Dunst Steps Out in Fall's Chicest Transitional Hair Accessory

As summer lowers—albeit languidly—over the horizon to make way for autumn, transitional beauty notes are seeping into the collective consciousness. But if you ask Kirsten Dunst, the carry-over will be as simple as a well-placed accessory. Yesterday, the streets of New York City saw the actress debuting such a cue, her hair combed into a soft half-up style secured with a black bow.

With her sunny lengths swinging in easy bends, and a set of bohemian bangs separated at the center and edging toward temples, the look was an effortlessly romantic one. Not to mention, presented an ideal pairing for both a summer sundress and fall's forthcoming cadre of chunky knits. And to take it up a notch for nighttime wear? Make like Dunst and opt for a swipe of classic red lipstick and—should weather permit—a show-stopping leg reveal. Because who says a bow's oft-demure nature doesn't play well with hints of va-va-voom?
