Kristen Stewart in red Derek Lam for ‘SWATH’ photo call: improved & appropriate?

I know we’ve got a lot of Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron news today, but in my defense, there are lots of new photos, interviews and gossip. And they are promoting the hell out of Snow White & the Huntsman… because both Charlize and Kristen have a lot riding on this movie. Both of them need SWATH to be a big hit. Will it be a big hit? I think it will make a lot of money, but it won’t be like an Avengers or Hunger Games-style mega-hit.

Anyway, as I mentioned in the earlier K-Stew post, Kristen, Charlize and some of the SWATH people headed to Germany yesterday after the UK swing of the press tour. I had hoped that the Berlin premiere would be held last night, but it looks like it’s going to be tonight. These are photos from the (day-time) SWATH photo call. First thought: I like that Charlize and Kristen don’t look like they’ve (badly) coordinated their looks like they did at the London premiere.

Apparently, Kristen’s dress is 10 Crosby by Derek Lam. Still not wearing Balenciaga, I see. Still, this Lam is a big improvement over the Marchesa hideousness. I’m not really in love with the whole look, but Kristen looks presentable and interesting, which is an accomplishment. Oh, and the belt is Alexander McQueen. I feel like Charlize might have given her the belt.

As for Charlize’s outfit – I don’t know. If anyone has the designer ID, please share it. I think Charlize looks nice and appropriate here – and I buy that she probably had this outfit in her closet already, you know? I’m also including a photo of Sam Clafin, “the prince” of SWATH. He’s kind of meh. He and Kristen look like siblings.

    No matter what she wears she comes off as a kids playing dress up to me. Charlize on the other hand can pull anything off!

    • Rhea says:

      You read my mind! 🙂 But I still wish CT would wear something with a splash of color just to spice it up. Her shoes or a chuncky bracelet perhaps?

    • Katie says:

      It’s like nothing ever quite fits her. This dress is too long and a little too sophisticated for her. She looks terribly uncomfortable. It’s not really an age appropriate outfit, either.

  2. Agnes says:

    i’m not into the red dress, especially the belt…

  3. MissilePanda says:

    still fug

  4. janie says:

    The prince is kinda…pear-shaped. Meh.

  5. Dani says:

    Hideous dress, and it doesn’t even fit her properly. The belt doesn’t go with the outfit and I hate the chain. And the hair looks messy, like she just came from the gym. The miserable expression doesn’t help, but I think that’s been said a million times before.

    I don’t really like what Charlize is wearing either and Sam Calflin has womany hips. Yikes.

  6. laylajanelovesgossip says:

    Both women look nice:-) I maybe the only one that likes the red dress…

  7. Gene Parmesan says:

    She looks better but i wish the dress was slightly shorter a lil above her knees? it sorts of drowns her.
    I think sam is fine…

    • Tapioca says:

      Agreed, great minds and all that. I think KS looks good – if dead behind the eyes – in the fourth pic down, but then you see the overall effect and that dress has too busy a pattern not to end above the knee.

      And she’s actually POSING in the top pic like she’s happy to be there. Baby steps!

  8. Jenna says:

    I guess it’s an improvement but KStew looks like she’s dressing up in her mother’s wardrobe from the 90’s or something. Yikes.

    Charlize looks gorgeous though. 🙂

  9. Chatcat says:

    Charlize yay…Kristen nay…AGAIN. God this girl is 22 y/o she should be able to pull off anything and she never does! Oh wait, is that her personality outweighing her exterior appearance?

  10. normades says:

    mmm…hello Sam.

    I would take the prince over the hunter!

  11. Mirella says:

    Anything is an improvement from that other dress. I still don’t love the look. Charlize looks great though.

  12. shaboo says:

    she never looks good in these dressy things. I think the heels make her stand funny or something.
    the dress is really ugly too, she needs to fire her stylist. I really like Charlizes outfit though.

    Sam Clafin has a seriously unnatractive thigh problem.

  13. CTgirl says:

    A dirt paper bag would be an improvement over the Marchesa mess. I like this dress well enough but it is too long. And poor KS keeps trying to pose with her legs wide apart in a dress that fitted at the bottom. Some day she is just going to topple over . . .

  14. Eve says:

    I posted this on that other thread but since nobody gave a damn…I’m posting it here again. That Marchesa dress looked like this:

  15. Kelly says:

    It does not matter what you put Kristen in. She always looks miserable which makes everything look bad

  16. mia girl says:

    I like both looks, but I feel like they should switch. The red dress on Charlize and the black on Kristen.

    Somehow I think it would work better for both ladies.

  17. marie says:

    better, definitely better but I dont like the hair and maybe if the skirt were shorter-above the knee it would look even better..

  18. Ann says:

    I like both Kristen’s and Charlize’s outfits. Both are much better than what they wore to the London premiere. I’m over the whole sheer skirt/dress look. These outfits are things I’d actually consider wearing.

    Sam’s outfit is terrible, which is too bad. He’s really kind of cute, and he’s been getting short shrift throughout the promo cycle. I think they’re working him in now that Chris is tied up with a newborn baby.

  19. almond says:

    I’m absolutely convinced now that Stewart’s stylist hates her. There’s no other explanation for this tour de force of fuggery.

  20. Meg says:

    There is no life in this woman. Please somebody put some stick in her ass maybe she will wake up.

    • almond says:

      I’ll be extra bitchy and say it’s because of existential ennui. Her life is boring and unexciting. Someone drop her in the amazonian jungle with nothing but a compass and a copy of On the Road.

      • Orly says:

        “existential ennui”, HA! I’m thinking you’re right, that’s why someone needs to hurry up and f-ck her over, per her request.

  21. brin says:

    Charlize is wearing Rag & Bone top, Alexander Wang skirt (per JJ). I like both.

  22. ladybert62 says:

    hate all the outfits

  23. vic says:

    Better than the lacy black dress but still off. She seems like a tomboy to me who doesn’t like this part of her job and is not good at it.

  24. danielle says:

    I’m agreeing with some of the other commentators – the girls look good, Sam Clagin or whatever needs a stylist!

  25. Nance says:

    I don’t like the chain on the outfit, but overall this is better than the last ice-skating dress.

  26. Cate says:

    I see the usual sspects here bitching about kristen. She looks great and seems to be doing well professionally. Kudos kristen

  27. DavidBowie says:

    Wow, that guy has some HUGE hips!

  28. bns says:

    It pains me to say this, but she looks good. I love that dress.

  29. Hanna says:

    Lmfao. Just no, Kristen.

  30. Janet says:

    Boring as hell but then again so is she. She makes everything she appears in look dull and lifeless.

  31. nina says:

    kristen may be 22, but she has the body of a 16 year old girl, ditto for her face. Which is awesome in a lot of ways, but it limits her as to what she can pull off.

    She looks cute in jeans and shirts and kicks. It’s harder for her to wear big girl clothes at this point though.

    • original almond says:

      I agree, her stylist should play to her strengths. She doesn’t look like a twelve year old boy, she looks like a woman with a slender body type. Not everyone has to be curvy and hourglass shaped.

  32. Joey says:

    Kstew looks good. I like this much more than the london gown. I* glad she going for longer dresses.

  33. lower-case deb says:

    i’m not a fan of the skirt on charlize. it looks too “forced”. if i were the skirt, i imagine i would be asking the rest of the clothes, why is it that the skirt’s doing all the work. no help from the top. no help from the shoes. no help from the accessories. the skirt looked like an overworked-underpaid biker-bar diner-lady on her third shift.

    meanwhile, that red dress on kristen needs to be shorter. she used to be known for her short minis. (and for the record, mini dresses looks GOOD on her: http://www.posh24.com/kristen_stewart/kristen_stewarts_obsession_with_short_dresses).

    this long dress is too damn long. this long dress needs a good posture (which she seems to not have), and a good aura (which she does not seem to want to project).

    but neither are offensive. could be better, but not write offs either.

    and i keep seeing a big dipper constellation on Sam Clavin. why?

  34. debunker says:

    KS has a well proportionated figure for her body shape and in these photos her boobs look bigger than usual, perhaps a good bra? She’s not a stunner but she’s “blossoming” nicely. I don’t get the “body of a teenager” comments. And she’s not looking that awkward this time
    They all looked decent.

  35. Rice says:

    She looks as good as Kristen Stewart can look. Charlize looks great. The guys look very plain. They need Chris to make me give a damn.

  36. deep says:

    Kristen and Charlize both look great!

  37. eileen says:

    Also-what’s with the ladies wearing couture and the guys dressing from JCrew? Love JCrew-but not at a movie premier! They need to dress it up!

    • original almond says:

      I can’t really put my finger on it but this whole promotional tour feels so lackluster. The weird, underwhelming sartorial choices, the bizarre interviews, the general attitude, they all combine to make a hodge-podge of a promotional tour. I’m definitely less excited about the movie. Of course, the first reviews haven’t helped either.

      • eileen says:

        I agree with you 100%. The stars themselves look completely ‘meh’ in every appearance.

  38. Axel 5 says:

    they both look so elegant! I love the red dress and the belt too

  39. shailee says:

    they look good, I like the red dress, if she would’ve cut it then people would’ve been bithching that she made it too short, girl can’t win with some of you

  40. aquarius64 says:

    Red dress is an improvement from the Machesa mess, but the Stewart Slouch still ruins the overall look.

  41. mary simon says:

    K-Stew’s dress would have worked as a mini, but at least it is an improvement over the Sasquatch dress.

  42. Crystal says:

    That dress is amazing. I’m so jealous because I can’t pull of red as well as Kristen. It’s a good colour on her. Charlize looks amazing…colour me unsurprised. Hate the belt though…I have an irrational hate of waist belts (and kitten heels. Ugh)

  43. TheOriginalVictoria says:

    KS’s dress is like a mash up of McQueen’s HIGHLAND collection and Chanel circa 1992-94 (biker socialite chic) with the chains and what not. I like this dress in theory, but like Beyonce she never executes the ideas well.

    This dress on a Demi or Naomi works well but not on her. Lose the chain, raise the hem rock a killer pump pony with a fierce clutch and it’s done. Throw in some vintage Vuitton satin black and red ballet pumps to add to it.

    CT. Gorg and appropriate as usual.

    • original almond says:

      That sounds edgy and flattering. She should hire you as a stylist. You’re obviously doing a much better job at the top of your head than her current one does with plenty aforethought.

    • another nina says:

      Wow Victoria! Yes, this is how it should be done! Great advice, hands down.

  44. Kim says:

    Charleze face is way to botoxed and filled.

  45. lauren says:

    i don’t love k.stew’s dress but holy heck her hair is terrible. it was terrible at the premiere too. both the dresses she’s worn recently have been bad but her gym ponytail/bun thing she’s got just make it a million times worse. who is her hairstylist, and why do they hate her so much? charlize looks a million times better because her outfit is awesome and her hair looks professional.

  46. BLOGAHOLIC says:

    She looks lovley for once

  47. Linda says:

    I actually kinda like Kristen’s dress, it would probably be better if she knew how to stand up straight but I like that she’s not wearing such short dresses that nearly show her no-no parts. As for her hair…why do they constantly do that to her?!? Girl has big ass ears and I know cause I got big ears too and I never bring attention to it. She’s got a pretty face if they just fix her hair a bit it would be perfect.

  48. chalkdustgirl says:

    Clafin has hips like a chick, ew

  49. Camille (The original) says:

    CT’s face looks weird to me.

    KStew looks cute, but over it. My eyes keep being drawn to her in the header pic though. Pretty girl.

  50. Erin says:

    kind of love kristen’s outfit.

    the ‘prince’, well doesn’t he have some hips. wow!

  51. Mara says:

    Charlize Theron stunning and a very nice sense of style so classic and elegant.

  52. Its okay says:

    It’s not the worst choice in the world…but it could be better.

    Anyhoodle, I saw a trailer for the movie…it looks good. But then I glanced at an interview where she described it like Twilight. Not the greatest way to sell a new project, if you ask me. But hey, I’m a literate, intelligent woman in her 20’s Twilight isn’t my thing.

  53. ohiogirl says:

    I really like Kstew here! The longer length accents her curves more I think. I love how the red color brings out her beautiful complexion and eyes. I can’t stand looking at her when she’s wearing some torn up old jeans and t-shirt that look like they’ve never been washed although they are undoubtedly very expensive rags.

  54. geekychick says:

    I don’t know if anyone noticed, but the belt, Kaiser, seems like the same belt she had on that great mcqueen dress on BD premiere in London. So, not borrowed from Theron.

  55. John Thing says:

    KW looks like an ugly midget in an ugly red dress. Talentless eye roller.
