Kirsten DunstandAlexander Skarsgårdare going back in back time — and doing it in style!
In this week’s issue of PEOPLE, the 37-year-old actress, who stars as Krystal Stubbs in the upcoming Showtime seriesOn Becoming a God In Central Florida, opens up about her new project, working alongside Skarsgård in the ’90s comedy, balancing motherhood and work, and the fun ’90s style she got to create for her character.
“It was very collaborative,” Dunst, who is also an executive producer on the show, says about creating her character’s style.
“We found Krystal’s look. We decided she definitely wore socks with her boots. The ’90s are so popular and trendy right now that we wanted to steer away from the trends that are happening now in terms of clothing,” she explains. “We didn’t do certain things that people are doing now to make sure it was distinctive. She’s got that country ’90s to her.”

“It was perfect — the hair and makeup,” she says about her classic ’90s wedding look with Skarsgård (who plays Stubbs’ husband, Travis). “The right amount of trash and sass.”
While this isn’t the first project the duo has worked on together (they previously starred in the 2011 drama,Melancholia), the roles were very different this time.
“I asked Alex to do it because I knew how funny he was and he never gets roles where he could be funny,” she says. “I knew that this would be a fun opportunity. It was really fun to work with him. I love working with him. He was sad to leave.”

New mom Dunst adds that she was also “definitely so much more aware of the babies on set.”
