The answer is the divine spark from God, who designed us to be different...

Kirsten Dunst, below, plays the doomed royal in the biopic Marie Antoinette, out this week. But the big screen isn't the only place you can see signs of Marie mania. A tastemaker in her day, she's shaping style today as well, and her mark can be seen everywhere from fashion runways to the china cabinet. Check out some of the latest products--no, cake is not one of them--inspired by the style...
