Kristen Stewart in Stella McCartney for ‘SWATH’ screening: lovely or awful?

These are some new photos of Kristen Stewart at two events yesterday. The red carpet photos are from an industry screening of Snow White and the Huntsman, and the photos where Kristen is wearing the red jacket are from a Q&A session at Universal with Sam Claflin (sidenote about Sam: WORST PANTS-WEARER EVER). Kristen’s screening outfit is Stella McCartney. Thoughts? I kind of hate it, as I almost always hate Stella’s hideous designs. I really don’t know why Kristen does anything with a high neck. High neck + bad posture = slouchy, uncomfortable.

As for that red jacket – it’s Balenciaga. Also kind of rough. It looks so dated, like it belongs in a Michael Jackson music video. I tend to think Kristen is still learning, still trying out different looks, but I also think she’s getting some bad advice sometimes, and she doesn’t know her own strengths.

Anyway, if you couldn’t tell, there are about a million Kristen stories and Charlize Theron stories – because SWATH is opening up this weekend, so it’s the final push. You can read excerpts from Kristen’s Interview Magazine piece here – she actually impressed me a bit in that magazine. She came across as bright, although lacking in eloquence perhaps. The only other story of interest (to me) is Kristen’s “review” of her sparkly lover’s latest film:

Memo to Kristen Stewart: If this whole movie-star thingy doesn’t work out, maybe you can give film criticism a shot. The Snow White and the Huntsman star, who recently took Cannes by storm with a PDA-filled romp with Robert Pattinson, was asked by MTV News to weigh in on his new flick, Cosmopolis, which received a splashy premiere at the fest. So did the famously private star pull a Roger Ebert and get those movie thumbs ready for critical action?

“He’s so good in it! Really, really,” K.Stew raved.

“I don’t even know how he…,” she continued, clearly at a loss for words. “I couldn’t even understand it. It’s so good, it’s so cool. I’m so proud of him.”

The couple has slowly started to loosen up about their discreet romance. Earlier this month, Stewart chatted with Elle magazine about Pattinson’s other 2012 flick, Bel Ami, and the two publicly supported each other in Cannes, where her own film, On the Road, premiered. The duo were later spotted locking lips at the flick’s after-party.

No surprise, then, that K.Stew copped to having a blast at the glamorous French film fest.

“It’s the ultimate celebration,” she said. “I was so oddly placed in my body, which I’m very unable to do. I was so not nervous. I had the greatest time—it was, like, so cool.”

I have something nice to say about Kristen and Sparkles… Twihards, pay attention! I like that both Kristen and Sparkles support each other’s careers. I think it’s incredibly sweet that Pattinson always talks up Kristen as an actress, and it’s clear that he thinks she’s very talented. It’s nice that Kristen is his cheerleader too. I like that there doesn’t seem to be any drama about competing careers and “who has the bigger film” and all of that stuff.

One last nice thing: Kristen’s makeup person is AMAZING. Something bad: whoever did her hair for the screening should be fired.

    She’s quite pretty, but the stylists just cannot get her right. Everyone’s trying to make her into something she’s not, working against her personality instead of for it.

  2. TheOriginalKitten says:

    First thing I thought before I even read the article was : MICHAEL JACKSON JACKET. Must be a generational thing. My big bro had a vinyl faux MJ jacket JUST like this in elementary school. He got laughed off the playground and never wore it again.
    I actually think Stewart looks nice here- it’s the dramatic eye makeup and I like seeing her hair up and off her face. The Stella McCartney design works here I think because it matches K-Stew’s general style of dressing. I don’t hate it as much as usual..

  3. jess says:

    Stella McCartney has the ugliest designs. I dont like Kristens outfit at all. It looks exactly like what she wore to some Paul McCartny event a while back. Somebody needs to help Sam pick out pants. As for her relationship with Rob..uh Sparkles, I really like them together. They seem to compliment each other well.

    • mia girl says:

      It is like the Stella outfit she wore before. I said it on that post, and say it again, this is channeling the “Heathers” look from the early 90s. I loved it back then, and I so I still kinda like this look now.

  4. heebeegeebee says:

    OMG she is the WORST dresser.

  5. normades says:

    True. Her make-up person is really good.

  6. Kkkaren says:

    Well. I think she exudes attitude and style. The shoes…just great.

  7. Cathy says:

    Who is Sam Clafin and why is he wearing such awful pants?

  8. Ira says:

    Her legs gross me out, they are really chicken legs.

    Oh and she and Pattinson still use each other to draw attention for their films. The question is will the promotion of their “relationship” make their other films hits.

  9. Blerg says:

    I want to like her – I really do. But she makes it SO damn hard.

  10. Crystal says:

    I love her make up. Flawless. Her skin is literally flawless. She’s stunning.
    That Stella McCartney outfit needs to die in a fire. Ugh between this, Balenciaga and Marchesa, I’m convinced that Kristen’s stylist is trolling her. That has to be it. Go back to Proenza Schouler bb.
    Kristen’s style is always pretty hit and miss. When she gets it right she slays but when she misses it can be bloody tragic. She should wear a suit like the one Rihanna wore at the Billboard awards last year. A suit would look amazing on Kristen.
    I like the red leather jacket… I want it.
    Is it me or does Kristen have some of the best hair in Hollywood ??? It always looks so full. Jealous.
    It’s ridiculous how excited I am for SWATH. Not for K-Stew though. Charlize… My queen.

  11. another nina says:

    Huge disappointment – where is the pic of the pear-shaped prince standing in his full glory???
    Once and for always: Kristen Stewart speaks in incomplete sentences. Her interview in Interview is obviously very heavily edited. And I’ll repeat myself – she is indeed a bright girl when she talks about her job.
    The full quote from MTV:
    “He’s so good in it!” “He’s really, really [good]. I don’t even know how he [did it]. I couldn’t even understand it. It’s so good, it’s so cool, I’m so proud of him. Thank God.”
    I loved her sigh of relief at the end with that “Thank God”, looks like everybody had doubts about Rob, Kristen including 😉
    She is obviously going for Tom Stu’s hair style, and who would blame her? I so love her shoes, everything else is horrible.

    • jess says:

      I dont think she had doubts about Rob in Cosmopolis. David Cronenberg makes movies that you either get it or you dont. Rob also said in an interview that David told him that at Cannes if people dont like your movie they will boo you or walk out, so he was saying he was really nervous so I think she was relieved that none of that happened.

      • another nina says:

        No, in this particular quote, she talks about him, “Thank God”, being good in a movie.

  12. marie says:

    Not bad, her make up looks good. Is it just me or does she look a bit like Ashley Greene in the close up photo?

  13. shailee says:

    I like her skirt and make up, not a big fan of the shirt

  14. ORLY says:

    I hate the shoes [on her], it’s not a suited for a 22 yr. old.
    The skirt is cute, but paired with the shirt and blazer it’s just…UGH.
    From the waist down she looks naughty. From the waist up she looks like a nun. This outfit is having an identity crisis or something.

    I agree about her makeup being very nice here.

    As for the gushing about sparkles, I guess she is no longer just keeping something for herself or whatever nonsense she said before. Good for them.

    • Lila says:

      Seriously, the secrecy thing was getting old. There are a ton of photos of them vacationing together, at family events, and even people they work with would mention that they were dating…I read some old Reese Witherspoon article a while ago where she mentioned that Kstew was his girlfriend. I got it at first-trying to distance themselves from Twilight, but the “secret” got old last freaking year. Agree with you on the outfit…Also, fantastic makeup, shitty hairstyle imo

  15. apsutter says:

    Love it…especially that red Michael Jackson jacket.

  16. mel says:

    I like her outfit..I mean you can only wear stuff like that when you are her age…she has enough attitude to pull it off. I love her and Pattinson together…they are clearly best of friends besides being a couple!

  17. Embee says:

    Love it all…I think she looks great.

    • Monkey Jim says:

      I like it too! Well, the Stella suit – I despise the orange jacket with the heat of a thousand suns.

  18. Maggie says:

    What’s the name of that cute guy?

  19. another nina says:

    .

  20. Faye says:

    I’d like it if it weren’t for that damn jacket thing. It overwhelms her and what might have been a cute dress or skirt/shirt outfit (I can’t tell if it’s one piece or not).

  21. bns says:

    Longest 15 minutes of fame ever…

  22. layla says:

    I find KStew pretty at best…. but her profile is just gorgeous.

  23. UniqJaz says:

    I like both Kristin’s outfit and her hair and makeup !

  24. Mi says:

    For some reason I actually like Kristen in this outfit. Looking at it objectively and ignoring the person wearing it I hate it but on her it just kind of…fits, looks right? I’m not sure why I like it on her. but the one thing I don’t get is people always saying that her hair looks dirty, I would love to have her hair it just looks so full and healthy.

  25. Hm says:

    She is doing a “sexy secretary” or schoolmarm look, for whatever reason. She looks confident. I love the updo, nice to see a dif hairstyle.

  26. Ally says:

    Awful!

    What is up with Stella? I think all her good design assistants have gotten other jobs (Phoebe Philo, etc.)

  27. ZenB!tch says:

    I hate the jacket. If you took it off it might be cute.

    The red jacket look is almost passable. It’s too 80s for my taste.

  28. midnightmoon says:

    her hair looks full because she has extensions. i think her real hair isn’t that thick (like many a hollyweird star). she often looks unkempt in the hair due in part to the ridiculously heavy weight of the extensions, plus BAD stylists (who IMHO should be shot-or at least fired), and probably a lack of time to do things right due to a horrifically busy schedule. just my take.

    i think her eyes are totally beautiful when she makes them up really heavily. she is a fairly pretty girl, not that beautiful, but she does have a “something”. not a huge something, and i think she has gotten a hell of a break to get cast in that Twilight crap.

    we’ll see in a few years if she makes it into ‘talented and in-demand’ or just turns out to be another ‘it’ girl.

    Winona Ryder (not including her mental illness issues) comes to mind-she was soooo busy and soooo talented-way more so than Kristen. and she just kept getting cast in horrible movies after her streak of amazing performances early on.

    take care all!
