Lip-biting Is the Warmest Color: Kristen Stewart & Soko’s Parisian love affair

FFN_Stewart_Soko_Semi_EXC_031516_51996533

As we discussed earlier this week, Kristen Stewart seems to be dating 30-year-old French singer-songwriter Soko (birth name: Stephanie Sokolinski). Last week, there were photos of Soko and Kristen walking arm-in-arm in LA, in what seemed like an open pap stroll announcing their relationship. And now these photos, from Paris. Over the weekend, Kristen flew to Paris to be with her (alleged) lover, and Soko greeted her at the airport with flowers. They’ve been wandering around Paris in a love haze ever since, with the paparazzi documenting their moves. Yesterday, the paps got some photos of Soko leaning in for a kiss.

As some of you pointed out, it definitely seems like there was some overlap between Kristen’s relationship with Alicia Cargile and her thing with Soko. Kristen was in Paris last fall, filming Personal Shopper, and I tend to believe that this thing with Soko probably started in or around November. I think that’s when Kristen started winding down her relationship with Alicia too. Back in October, there were rumors of a split between K-Stew and Alicia, but they quickly went on a pap stroll to deflect. And one of the last times Kristen and Alicia were seen together? Just after Christmas. So just how new is this Soko relationship? That’s what I want to know.

Also, the vibe that I’m getting from these photos? Soko is a little bit needy/clingy. But Kristen is always too-cool-for-school, so basically everyone looks needy standing beside her. I’m also getting a vibe of Soko being grateful that Kristen is finally willing to be “official” with their relationship. Last thing: Soko’s style is just killing me. Part of my soul died when I saw her pants.

    They are wearing some seriously ugly clothes.

    • BengalCat2000 says:

      I think Kristin looks fine. I dress like that all the time. In fact I’m also a lip biter. Maybe I need to reevaluate some of my life choices…

      • Santia says:

        Kristen looks fine to me, too. Just a casual outfit. Soko’s outfit, though, needs to go in a bonfire pronto.

      • Kitten says:

        Too bad we can’t burn the baby bangs as well.

        @BengalCat-Me too. I still wear motorcycle boots and ripped jeans and I have a pretty sick collection of leather jackets in all different colors. I probably dress way too young for my age but as long as I can still pull it off, I’ll continue to dress like the lead singer in a garage rock band lol.

      • Leah says:

        Of the two Soko is actually on the trendier side. Kristen looks the same way she always looks. She’s dressed like this since Twilight came out.

      • Sarah(too) says:

        Fine? The clothes are fine but I feel like I can smell her just by looking at the pics. The girl seriously needs to wash her hair.

      • BengalCat2000 says:

        @kitten, I’ve still got my old Docs and Chuck Taylor’s and band tees that I wear on the daily and I’m middle aged… I think I look good and I bet you do too! ☺

      • EmmGee says:

        Oddly enough, I kinda dig both looks. But then again, I grew up (using that term ironically) in the 80’s and 90’s. Coincidently, I also own BOTH of those shoes; the Docs as well as the Vans. Oh, and I live in Portland…….their style is what I see everywhere I go!

    • Size Does Matter says:

      They look like the living embodiment of the Greek comedy/tragedy masks.

  2. MB says:

    Seriously, what the hell.
    The outfit, the hair, the clunky shoes over those socks, the glasses……. I could go on. My senses have never been so overloaded with almighty fuggery as they have been by looking at these pics of this Soko girl.

    • Goats on the Roof says:

      ‘Almighty fuggery’ is right. She’s got it wrong from top to bottom.

    • D says:

      It looks like she’s trying really hard to be all hipster quirky (or something).

    • Shay says:

      Especially standing next to K-Stew. That’s a great look for her, the laid back rocker-chick vibe. Soko looks like an overgrown child.

      • star nosed mole says:

        Except that I’m not getting laid back rocker-chick from KStew, I’m getting high school stoner/drop out. Soko looks like a midwest US art school student, which I actually think is a step up.

    • Eleonor says:

      This girl was named by VOGUE for her style.
      You don’t understand FASHION darling.

    • It'sJustBlanche says:

      The only people who can pull off that nerdy, eccentric look are people who are so attractive it doesn’t matter. She’s not one of those people.

      • it's like you know says:

        This is the truth.

      • queenofcauliflower says:

        woah, JustBlanche, take it easy … does she have to pull it off? is she obligated to look good for all of you people and living up to your standards of what somebody should be looking just because she’s dating an actress. shocking truth: i am not one of the people who are so attractive it “doesn’t matter” what i wear and i don’t care. i wear whatever i wanna wear, people don’t have to find me pretty or whatever. for a page who’s “feminist” or has at least many “feminist” followers i don’t get the hate that women get who don’t give a f33k about what they look like or whether they can “pull off” what they’re wearing. i prefer soko’s trousers giving me a migraine any day over all the generic barbie-doll-looks living up to narrow minded perceptions of beauty and i think you actually do too, no? 😉

      • Lucky says:

        Totally agree Queen, I love this page but I am always surprised by how people jump to the, “she isn’t even that pretty,” line of fire so often. As if being pretty was the most important thing a woman should aspire to.

      • Jess says:

        Huh, TIL only attractive people can wear whatever the hell they want without being criticized.

      • Kat says:

        @queenofcauliflower…true, some of the comments about Soko’s appearance may make other people imitate the air sucking and wheeze that Carrie Bradshaw demonstrated in the bathroom (does anyone else remember that episode, or is it just me?). That said, people are going to comment because, well, they have eyes. It’s not nice, I know, but judging the looks of things AND people is just in our nature. When waiting in line for coffee there’s always a narrative going on in a person’s head about the other people, like, ‘Nice sandals, where can I get those? … Ooh, he’s yummy… That lady has a nice smile … WOAH, yikes buddy, do you even own a mirror??? What made you think THAT looks good?’ We can’t help it, but that’s not a judgment about Soko as a person, but rather her ensemble. As a Parisian, I expect more from her too.

      • Locke Lamora says:

        I think she’s really pretty.

    • Wood Dragon says:

      Soko’s quirkiness is so awesome that it hurts to look at it. I mean WOW! She needs to tone it down a little. And I knew people who dressed only to please themselves and they still looked interestingly quirky in a way that I envied.

  3. willful ignorance says:

    I give it 4 months.

    Clingy people are the worst.

    • Snazzy says:

      So are people who wear short patterned pants with white socks and whatever those things are that she is wearing as shoes.

      • M.A.F. says:

        Hey now. Those shoes are baby doll Doc Martins and they are the best. Yes, I own a pair and I love them. God bless the 90’s!

      • Snazzy says:

        ha ha ha ok M.A.F. But I bet you look awesome in them, and don’t wear them with white socks that you’ve pulled up to your armpits!!

      • Kitten says:

        Doc Martens. Anyone my age who was cool had several pairs.
        But that doesn’t negate the grossness of 90s fashion. I used to wear Birkenstocks with socks. Good LORD why did I think that was ok??

    • Rhiley says:

      Came to write something similar. Four months sounds good. Kristin isn’t going to want that much skin touching her during the dog days of summer.

    • Crumpet says:

      This. I saw a video of them where Kristen went to hug her and Soko grabbed her butt. She pushed Soko away. She tried to make it seem playful, but you could tell she wasn’t having any of it. Not in public anyway.

      • mia girl says:

        Is that the video where they are attempting to play frisbee in a park? I think these two make a cute couple, don’t even mind Soko’s look as much as others, but man, their frisbee skills were pathetic.

      • star nosed mole says:

        @mia girl: I had the exact same reaction. What on earth were they doing? Way to not call attention to yourselves girls! Because doesn’t everyone in Paris jog and randomly throw frisbees into the air at the same time, all while wearing mix and match sweats with their partner?

      • ell says:

        lmao really? i want to watch that video. soko does seem super clingy.

      • Naya says:

        @mia girl, I almost clapped when Kristen finally caught that frisbee. Maybe having to pick up the frisbee is an intentional part of the work out

  4. Snazzy says:

    Can I just say how much I love the title?
    Otherwise, kinda just don’t care about K-Stew, her movies or her life. (yes I know I read the article but it’s only because the title was so amazing).

    • We Are All Made of Stars says:

      Oh my God I know! I just saw Blue Is The Warmest Color a few weeks ago and hadn’t heard of it before that and have never heard anyone reference it until now either! So excited! I feel like I’m in a special club with the cool people now. 🙂

      • ds says:

        It’s a great film

      • DTX says:

        I loved it too! I saw on V-Day weekend last year while waiting for hubby to arrive at our hotel from the airport. He walked in right at the first sex scene and damn near lost his mind! (nearly drooling!) Haha! It was pretty hot, tbh. I hated the way it ended. It was sad.

    • Huh says:

      I thought it was idiotic.

  5. GingerCrunch says:

    Call me crazy, but I miss her and Alicia’s cute tomboy style! Hopefully this is short-lived so we’re not subjected to this new chick’s atrocious looks.

  6. Elisa the I. says:

    I find it awesome that she dresses like there is no tomorrow! Cute couple, Soko seems to be beaming that they are official now.

  7. Josephine says:

    Young and dating in Paris. Sounds fun, actually. They’re young people, they should be dating and having fun without anyone analyzing the situation.

    On another note, Kristin’s skin is amazing, but she’s going to lose it if she keeps smoking. Hard for me to wrap my mind around young people smoking with all of the information we have about cigs.

    • queenofcauliflower says:

      THANK YOU! me too! 🙂 i don’t get why people are bashing her for her outfit choices when she obviously doesn’t give a -you-know-what about it

      • queenofcauliflower says:

        whoopsie, that was meant as an answer to elisa the i.’s comment 🙂 my bad!

      • Elisa the I. says:

        Ha, I’m glad I’m not alone. I have never heard of Soko before but I like her for not giving AF. It’s a nice change from all the celebrity bots running around. 🙂

    • Carol says:

      You said everything I was going to say. I like that Soko is dressing for own enjoyment and nobody else’s. And its refreshingly different and quirky. But I just wish everyone would just stop smoking. It’s worse that eating a burger a day or drinking.

  8. Barrett says:

    Is she more team lady?

    She looked less into the Rupert thing in photos, like she liked his attention but was not super attracted to him. I guess RPatz was really a ruse.

    • We Are All Made of Stars says:

      Poor RPatz. I wonder if he was in on it. My Spidey senses tell me no.

      • Naya says:

        Assuming that she is lesbian and not bisexual, AND that she had figured that out when she was with Robert (and those are two unsubstantiated assumptions!), that would make her closeted. People closet for real life heartbreaking reasons, that “ruse” word has no business in this discussion.

        As an aside, is there a reason why people turn off their sensitivity chips when discussing gay women as opposed to gay men???

      • Tig says:

        I agree with you. But I can believe a 17/18 KS wasn’t sure about her preferences either. But Soko sures gives off a LOVE MEEEE!!! vibe in these photos. And I doubt if she’d take a public humiliation as well as some others have done.

    • ell says:

      she has dated men and women, so that makes her bisexual and it’s silly to imply otherwise unless SHE identifies as a lesbian.

      • Meh says:

        It doesn’t necessarily make her bisexual. A lot of gay people have opposite sex relationships when they are young and figuring things out. But you are right that she has says she doesn’t have a label for her sexuality so there’s no point guessing or speculating one way or the other.

  9. Artemis says:

    Soko is OTT. It’s who she is going by her image/personality and music. Live in the moment kind of girl which I find hot because you’re more vulnerable to pain imo. And seems more real than Kristen eternal angst and bumbling pseudo-intellectualism. Soko’s style in these new pics is dreckitude though!

    I find it odd that Kristen is dating somebody who is very comfortable with PDA and gushing on social media. K is averse to such attention but here she is, hanging in Paris with her clingy new GF. Soko also has a tendency to Taylor Swift-ing her music meaning if they ever split up, it’s going to be good 🙂 Soko has feels and she will sang about it, I’m so ready for this mess!!

    And there’s also video about K being very deliberate with the relationship. All very unusual. Like she’s (finally?) trying to make a point or something?
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_IRt63tJkM

    I’ve never cared that much about K but this Soko girl is doing what Twigs did to Robert: make these people interesting lmao. And I also love that a celebrity as famous as K can be open about who she loves and dates.

    • Div says:

      @Artemis.

      I sort of wonder if she just got tired of the gossip press/insane twihards who stalk them still inking her to RPattz on occasion even tho that showmance has been over for years and he has a long time girlfriend or trying to link her to other guys like Nicholas Hoult. Maybe she thought she should just get it over with and give them a money shot and make it more than clear that she leans towards the ladies.

      • mia girl says:

        Div – those fans still linking them seem straight up delusional. On Twitter last night I saw retweets of fans discussing how KStew is not really bi/gay, she’s just “playing gay” for the paps to throw people of the scent of her secret life with Pattinson and their two kids. W.T.F.?

      • Div says:

        @mia girl
        They are delusional but I’m not surprised. When Cumberbatch got married, some of his hardcore fans were into conspiracy theories that they weren’t really married, were hateful af, and or accepted it but even turned on him and insisted he must be on drugs because they realized he wasn’t the person they created in their minds…just because he dared to live a normal life. A lot of them did the same thing to RPattz and his girlfriend, and now they are doing it to Kristen and Soko. I read some lez/bi gossip blogs and they are always coming on shouting about her “secret” marriage, too, whenever she’s mentioned.

        Fandoms, or maybe more standoms, on social media can sometimes be the worst. I legitimately think a lot are mentally ill and fixated on public figures to an unhealthy degree because of it.

      • Artemis says:

        @div

        OK that would make sense but why did she not do that with Alicia who seemed to want to be more affectionate with K only she wasn’t into it? Even when Alicia tried to hug K, all she got was a half-assed hug back. They didn’t even hold hands until the last of their relationship! That’s not to say she wasn’t a emotional behind closed doors, it’s their life and choices after all!

        But why do it with a new GF who is known for being OTT and not very quiet about her life? If they break up, it’s not going to be clean and low profile like with Alicia. That relationship was never ‘validated’ by the press or K as Alicia was always referred to as a friend, galpal, assistant and even more insulting: cousin with no correction of K. The media never wanted to say she might have been more due to their lack of PDA and Alicia being non-famous and shy about her personal life. K also stopped that one outlet of providing proof that her mother said she had a GF but her new girl of barely what, 2 months? can imply/hint they are together on social media and kiss, hug and grope her ass her in full view of the paps?

        I kinda feel bad for Alicia who seemed vulnerable to the media attention unlike Soko is is quite aggressive and doesn’t give a flying f-ck and used to attention probably. K seems to support Soko’s behaviour and did a complete 180 about her personal life which makes Alicia seem like a some kind of trial run.

      • Div says:

        @Artemis
        It is harsh but I’m guessing she just didn’t feel that comfortable with it because she might have been her first girlfriend. With my first non-hetero relationship, I was super introverted….and then after it was over I was like “okay, you know what, I can get over this and feel more comfortable being myself” and realized that I had been lying to myself before about being truly out (I was like semi-out). In all honesty it wasn’t until the third woman I went out with that I felt comfortable being myself in public even though I kept telling myself that t I was that way with my second gf..and that was a big difference from my relationship with my first gf.

        Is it fair? No. But your words “trial” run really aren’t that far off for a lot of us when we have our first non-hetero partner. Several of my friends tend to shy away from people who are in that glass closet, semi-closet, or freshly out because while some of them might have finally come to terms with who they are…they haven’t necessarily grown or developed a sense of self yet or are still scared of being overtly public. Sometimes people make one big giant step and it’s great, a lot of people though make baby steps.

      • Naya says:

        OR she is just growing more comfortable with herself and is with a partner who gets her to drop her inhibitions. Its not that complicated.

    • pretty says:

      thanks for the video! wow they just walk in the street like normal people, interesting ! and they are cute.

    • star nosed mole says:

      Soko seems to be exactly how Kristen wants to project herself, that’s what I’m getting. Kristen likes to front as being tough and as not giving a sh*t, and being super creative and a free spirit, but I’ve never really seen any evidence of that. She’s dating an alter- image that she has of herself.

      • Truthful says:

        Exactly! Soko does not project well on pic, but she is really and truly genuine, she is a very fragile person who bares it all (at least in interviews) she adresses anything from the death of her dad, to the guilty pleasure being recognized have gave her, to being a really awkward and knowing it. The girl is absolutely and incredibly genuine and sincere.

        Plus the talent!
        I think she is exactly how Kirsten wants to be: a free spirit and an artist.
        I think the downfall of this relationship would be epic as Soko cannot hold a thing and is already quite emotionally damaged

    • ell says:

      lol at the guy with the yellow shoes

    • senna says:

      Thanks for the Soko context, Artemis! While I thought Kristen’s style with Alicia was adorable (I’m probably in the minority here), I kind of love that, by contrast, Soko definitely has her own sense of style completely unlike Kristen’s. I looved that in the pap video, Kristen saw the paps shooting, and reached overtly for Soko’s hand, definitely trying to make a statement about her relationship status. I also kind of love it when a more reticent person is paired with someone more overtly demonstrative – it brings out another side of that reserved person, and that’s happening, too. I ship it! Clothing choices are only one aspect of a person and if Soko is creative and talented, I can’t hate on her for eyeball-searing combinations of plaid and clogs with white socks.

  10. mp says:

    I feel like there must be a lot of…not showering. so much Musk (the kind word).

  11. Div says:

    I know some people go overlap like she dumped her last gf for this gf because of her whole mini-cooper thing, but she was barely in Paris to film Personal Shopper as they filmed most of it in some Eastern European country (probably because it was cheaper) and she was papped/IG frequently while she was in Paris and there was never a sign of Soko. She was hanging out with a bunch of French lesbian fashion models actually….Also doubt she could keep a relationship on the down lo without a single rumor or photo since November/December….most of the twihards are having an extreme homophobic meltdown because there was never a rumor or whatever about her before so they didn’t “prepare” themselves lol to face reality.

    But I guess she’s going to be dogged with these insinuations forever like Sienna Miller. Anyway, my other point is this seems more like an really new yet already super intense rebound and not like an overlap situation or they’ve been on the down lo for the past few months….and Soko is already messy so they might be good for gossip.

    I know too much lol. I somewhat like KStew, but not that much, but she’s in a lot of lez/bi gossip boards so I see people talk about her a lot.

  12. Esther says:

    like a cheap version of FKA Twigs

  13. Div says:

    Also, I think Soko is a great actress and her music is decent….but her street style is atrocious. Which makes it weird because she’s in French Vogue once in a while and US Vogue tweeted about her during PFW. Why on earth are these stars with no real style except for what their stylist puts them in occasionally (KStew, JLaw, Keira Knightely, Alicia Vikander, etc.)…..considered such fashion plates?

    • Kitten says:

      She’s an actress too?

      • Div says:

        She was nominated for a Cesar a few years ago for some Alice Winocour film with Chiara Mastroianni that I saw but don’t remember well except for thinking it was great and yea 😉 for female directors….she’s been in several other films too but the only other one I’ve seen is Bye Bye Blondie with Emmanuelle Béart.

        Pretty sure she’s in this upcoming Lily-Rose Depp film too (ugh, nepotism). I heard Lily-Rose was good in that upcoming Keven Smith film and she’s a pretty girl….but it bugs me that she’s been handed the lead (at 16 or 17) in a film with people like Louis Garrel and Gaspard Ulliel or even Soko (I also think there are a few other big name French stars too) without having “proven” herself and also because of her parents. Plus Lily-Rose is the lead in a new Natalie Portman French film too (apparently it’s a French language film so I’m impressed Natalie’s skills are that good).

      • Kitten says:

        Lily Rose is acting too? I thought she was a model..?
        Man, I feel like I’ve been living under a rock.

    • Div says:

      @Div LOL. I just keep up with French celebrity gossip in addition to LGBQT gossip on occasion—it’s a good, trashy way to keep up my language skills. For some reason Lily-Rose is kind of an it girl in France and seems to be making her way over to the states too. I’m under a rock when it comes to most Royal gossip, etc.

  14. Insomniac says:

    This SoKo girl looks like a 24-karat clinger and attention junkie; I’m really surprised that the notoriously private Kristen doesn’t seem bothered by that.

    • Hannah says:

      Soko look like a normal person in love like the writer of this article said everyone looks clingy next to Kirsten. Rob was accused of being clingy too.Kirsten is just a very awkward person. But this is actually the most “loved up” I think I have seen her.

  15. Truthful says:

    Solo lives in LA not Paris. She comes back in France just when she has a movie or to promote a new album.so one of them might have a project right now in Paris

    • nina says:

      Are Soko’s parents wealthy?

      • Truthful says:

        I don’t know. He dad died from aneurism when she was 5 (she talks a lot about it, about how it has damaged her deeply and she still can’t recover). And she’s an actress since being 16 and a singer (quite a successful one).

        I don’t know but from her interviews she apparently comes from a normal middle-class family with a working mom.

  16. InvaderTak says:

    Are they auditioning as extras on Girls? Yeesh. Poser hipster overload. At least they look happy.

    • Skins says:

      LOL. I’d hate to see K-Stew looking sad

      • InvaderTak says:

        lol ok, “looking happy” is a reach but she did take the trip and is walking around with Soko so I guess she’s happy enough about it, facial expressions notwithstanding.

  17. SpareRib says:

    Soko is 30 now? Wow, time flies. Aside from the trousers (which are great but not part of this look), shes 100% cool Parisian. Its Europe guys, we do this differently here.

    • Zip says:

      Like what? Run around in ridiculous clothes? I must have missed that memo.

      • queenofcauliflower says:

        some do. ever been to an art’s school? people run around in ridiculous jogging trousers and oversized coats looking like they came fresh off a garage sale. nothing wrong with that though, i am glad there are pretentious freaks who don’t look like coming straight from h&m

      • dj says:

        If we are still on art school students as comparisons it is often the hair styles that catch more attention here (not in Paris). Different colors of hair, sides shaved, etc. Bad hygiene to be sure. Often shorts in the winter time. Interesting but nothing to far out of the realm.

  18. Skyblue says:

    Soko’s outfits remind me of what a try hard hipster wannabe I was in the late 80s and early 90s. I would have worn that whole ensemble! I would have worn it to a hipster dive cafe for breakfast and while sipping my coffee and waiting for a plate of hashbrowns, I would have pulled my knitting project out of my bag and worked on it in public…because nothing says cool like knitting in a cafe….sorry…Soko is dredging up repressed hipster memories!!!!!!! I hope they stay together for a couple more months. I’m enjoying this.

    • mia girl says:

      This made me laugh.

    • InvaderTak says:

      I saw a ton of them at the music fest I volunteered at this past weekend. You should find the knitting project and come to N TX this time next year if you’d really like to reminisce! Just don’t mention that you were doing that in the 90’s! It’s all new and all original!

  19. Mabel says:

    Cute couple. I have never heard of Soko but I think they look cute together. I don’t understand the talk of overlap or the need for it other than to throw shade at Kristen. I had a sense the relationship between her and Alicia was winding down a long time ago when there were less and less pap photographs of them hanging out alone together and more of Kristen hanging out with her other close LA friends.
    I also don’t buy the pap stroll theory. Paps have been stalking her relentlessly all over the world since her Twilight days with Pattinson. The reality is photos of her out and about are still in big demand no matter who she is romantically involved with at the moment.
    In the past, she would lash out at them which I thought only added fuel to the fire but she was very young. I think she is slowly learning to just deal with the pap’s imposing presence. It’s easier to just let the paps get their photographs and hopefully they’ll move on with little or no drama.
    One interesting thing about her is that her detractors are as thirsty for her as her fan base. It started when heartthrob Pattinson fell deeply in love with teenaged Kristin during the filming of the first Twilight movie and pursued her relentlessly even though she had a long-term boyfriend at the time, which made her Enemy #1 with his rabid fans. Their animosity for her grew stronger when they became a legit couple. And no, I never bought the fake couple conspiracy for PR purposes. Fake PR couples don’t adopt dogs and move in together or spend Christmas and New Years Eve together with their respective families for YEARS! With that said, I have always liked both Kristen and Robert P, as a couple and non couple. As a fan, I wish them both the best in their current relationships.

    Kristen Stewart is beautiful. I want a makeover crew to ambush her girlfriend.

  21. Bettyrose says:

    Soko found a 90s thrift shop and she’s not afraid to use it.

  22. Lucy says:

    Methinks Madmoiselle (sp?) Soko seems to love attention a bit too much…anyone who could confirm or deny it? I can only tell by the pictures, I know nothing about her.

  23. ReineDidon says:

    Soko is an extremely talented artist / singer who stayed out of the light for years. I mean she used to post videos on YT or singing in local festivals. She has a hippie attitude/lifestyle. I am surprised of her new loving being famous attitude.

  24. Penguen says:

    I know nothing about Soko, except that I wore those shoes in high school. Seeing them now, I can’t decide if I’m horrified or nostalgic.

  25. Cynthia says:

    They look really cute! I thought Kristen was averse to PDA, at least she was with Pattinson and Alicia, but maybe this time is different?

  26. FingerBinger says:

    I don’t know this Soko person but she looks like she’s watched a lot of 90s tv shows.

    i will probably get chewed out for this-please be nice to me lol- i really did/do like rob and kristen together. they were one of my favorite couples! do i believe the rabid twihards who think theyre secretly together? no. my belief is if theyre meant to be, they will somehow find their way back to each other. okay im gonna go hide before rabid twihards find me

    I would point out that physical affection standards are different in France and that girls who hold hands aren’t unusual for friends. Given that Kristin is am actor and really adaptable to her environment I don’t read into this at all. That said, would love it if they were really together.

    • Truthful says:

      “girls who hold hands aren’t unusual” – yes it’s true… when you are 13… in High school it’s already becoming to be super odd… And don’t get me started about two adults women (just friends) holding hands.

      No it’s not common at all.

    • mia girl says:

      I mentioned upthread that I saw some retweets on Twitter last night from some of fringe fans of Stewart (the ones who think she is the mother of two children). They also brought up this POV of “when in France” and affection norms for girls/women friends in France as a way to say these two are not involved.

      I’m not saying you are one of those fans, but only bring it up because in either point, I do not believe that is what these pictures are about. If this were a man and a woman no one would be questioning that they are a couple/dating. No one would say, hey it’s normal for men and woman who are friends to hold hands and act affectionate.

      I just don’t see the big deal in seeing what is pretty obvious in these photos. Two people who are involved in some kind of romanticish relationship and seem really into whatever is happening between them.

      • senna says:

        @mia, there’s no hope of converting the truly insane people who think Rob and Kristen are secretly married. Every subsequent romance and relationship is another cover-up story to them, and even an overt declaration on Rob and Kristen’s part that they are with who we see they are with would likely be taken as another indication that they’re concealing their love with “fake” relationships. I do enjoy occasionally reading an explanation of how every single photo of Rob and Twigs taken by multiple paparazzi in worldwide locations over months and years is a photoshopped fake.

    So much speculation on is she or isn’t she gay!!!????!?!?!? But seriously, why is sussing out her label so important? I thought I was bisexual forever, but it turns out, I’m just awesomepersonsexual. The people I’ve been attracted to, in retrospect, are all random! Not a similar type, gender, world outlook among them. So happy to have missed having to grow up online, too.

  30. Saks says:

    Soko shoes look exactly like my grandma’s orthopedic ones.
    Anyway, I don’t know why but I like Kristen, so good for her if she is happy.

    • susanne says:

      They look like my Doc Marten mary janes. I know they’re super butch, my first pair was a hand me down from a gay dude. I tend to soften mine with a cashmere sweater (from goodwill, of course). I think it’s a matter of context. I hope.

  31. Hannah says:

    I don’t really like Kirsten she says so many dumb things.
    But the reactions on her romance vs Taylor and Calvin made me laugh.
    Nice clean cut blonde people selling their love story like a brand and everyone is cooing so cute.
    Vs grungy, quirky fashion girl and awkward Stewart and everyone is just hating on them.
    This made me root for kristen and soko a little. Especially since the twihards are going after them hard.

    • Truthful says:

      Totally ! and me too!

      They look way more normal than Tay-tay and “in the closet “boy

  32. Goobie says:

    Soko’s outfit is the very definition of FUG. That whole hipster, grunge, Portland look is so beyond over, it’s absurd. Literally’ a parody of itself.
    Soooooooo unnattractive.

  33. Anguishedcorn says:

    This reminds me of the gender-bender version of Ben and Jennifer. K-stew is perpetually looking grumpy and like she’s doing her partner a favor in general with whomever she is with.

  34. islandwalker says:

    Soko looks hungry for press.

  35. Jh says:

    Yikes. Stage 10 clinger. Soko looks desperate to show affection in front of the paps. Slow your roll, girl. Get some chill ASAP.

  36. Clouds says:

    Does anyone else remember Soko from her fabulous and hilarious song I’ll Kill Her in 2007? I didn’t realise she’d been powering on since then and making more music!

  37. Lemon Tea says:

    I don’t have words for Soko’s outfit. And the fringe? The sunglasses? The top knot? Ugh. KS, whatever you say about her acting, has effortless style. I really don’t get what she’s doing with that strange woman.

  38. drnotknowitall says:

    Run Kristen. Just Run!

  39. Bug says:

    Yup, Stage 5 clinger.
