Kristen Stewart's Cannes Style: Chanel Couture and Sneakers

festival-fair · 2026-05-17

Kristen Stewart and stylist Tara Swennen delivered two striking Chanel looks at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, promoting Quentin Dupieux's film 'Full Phil'. For a photo call, Stewart wore a sheer gray tweed top and skirt from Chanel's spring 2026 couture collection, which appeared transparent but featured boy shorts and a camisole underneath. Later, she wore a red and black knit Chanel gown from Matthieu Blazy's fall 2026 collection, accessorized with Chanel High Jewelry and a red lip—a departure from her usual makeup. Stewart paired both outfits with sneakers from Nike and Converse, defying Cannes' dress code that discourages flat shoes. Swennen noted the looks aimed for a 'sophisticated but rebellious' vibe. Stewart, a Chanel face, has worked with Swennen since age 14. Upcoming appearances include serving as president of the Biarritz Nouvelles Vagues Festival in late June, promoting wife Dylan Meyer's film 'The Wrong Girls', and working on a new TV show.
