Kirsten Dunst Kirsten DunstLadies and gents, kindly step this way.

And join us as we admire celebs in old-stylee togs.

What is it about famous actors, that whenever they don period frocks for an old-fashioned drama or two, they just look so darned good?

Mr Darcy-style hotness aside...

Whenever celebs wear a fancy wig, a wide-busselled skirt or a feathered-out hat, they gain instant credibility.

Maybe it's just that we can't resist the odd touch of corset decollage or high-waisted breeches.

It's such a refreshing change from trakkie suits, miniskirts and other modern-day garb.

Whatever the period-type magic is, we need a dose of it.

So why not join us in grabbing an old-fashioned fix in our gallery of celebs in period costume.
