Kristen Stewart in Chanel at NY ‘Cafe Society’ premiere: milkmaid fug or cute?

FFN_GG_CAFE_SOCIETY_SCREENING_07132016_52121190

Last night was the big New York premiere of Café Society, the Woody Allen film which debuted at Cannes this year. It feels like people are pretty excited about the film for some reason, but not because the reviews are stellar or anything. Café Society is currently sitting at 80% at Rotten Tomatoes, but the reviews I’ve seen are mostly “this is an okay movie.” This isn’t Blue Jasmine, where as soon as critics as saw that film, everyone knew that Cate Blanchett was going to win an Oscar. This is mid-range Woody Allen-as-filmmaker, not the best but not the worst. I think most of the excitement about the film is because of Kristen Stewart and Blake Lively, honestly. Two “fashion girls” on the promotional trail, wearing interesting things.

And Kristen’s Chanel dress at the premiere was “interesting,” if “interesting” means “she looks like a hipster milkmaid.” We talk a lot about Alicia Vikander and Jennifer Lawrence’s respective Louis Vuitton and Dior contracts and how those contracts have become rather nightmarish for them, but I really think K-Stew’s Chanel contract should be part of that conversation too. Kristen and Chanel don’t really fit together, right? She was better off with her Balenciaga contract years back. You know what I hate the most about this dress? The giant “C” Chanel-branding on the skirt. WTF?

Blake Lively “hid” her bump under this Carolina Herrera flouncy minidress. In some dresses, you sort of forget Blake is even pregnant, and this is one of them. She looks great, she looks cute, etc. But it makes me nervous to see a 6-months-pregnant lady in those high heels and such a short dress.

Here’s Woody and Soon-Yi.

And finally, here’s Parker Posey. Parker is… amazing.

    I will never know if this movie is good or not because I won’t support a monster like him. I’m still shocked at the celebs that work with him. If he called me he wouldn’t like where I would tell him to put his movie script!

  2. MrsBPitt says:

    Kristin Stewart looks like the Bride of Frankenstein….just awful….

    Blake looks gorgeous, again!

    Parker just looks okay, to me…..

    • Megan says:

      I guess KStew really pissed off Karl. No other explanation for this mess.

      • LoveIsBlynd says:

        Sadly the piece on KS emphasizes her worst features and covers her best, plus it looks oversized and mime-ish. I like Blake Lively here, but what a boring woman- it seems that Woody Allen just pulls in the young and the desperate these days.

      • Jegede says:

        @LoveIsBlynd
        “Woody Allen just pulls in the young and the desperate these days.”

        Oscar, Globe & Emmy winner Kate Winslet says hello.

      • Katie says:

        She looks extremely uncomfortable in it. Geesh…most of her Balenciaga dresses were cute! I agree, she must have offended Choupette and pissed off Karl!!

      • Tiny Martian says:

        To me it looks like she picked up a few fashion tips from Soko. That’s all I’ve got!

      • CTgirl says:

        Karl deserves a kick in his lady parts for this horror. Kristen deserves to have Choupette crap in her Vans for wearing this ensemble.

      • qwerty says:

        Karl has no lady parts. Was that supposed to be an insult?

    • RedOnTheHead says:

      Agreed. Kirsten’s dress looks like Little Bo Peep had a one night stand with a Hells Angel….and this dress was the result.

    • Carol says:

      Kristen’s arms look like they are in restraints. What the heck is she wearing? That outfit is more like a costume than a dress. I think Posey looks nice but her hair is a tad high for my tastes.

      • what's inside says:

        IKR??? My first thought is what kind of bondage outfit is that? Then my mind absorbed the horror of Bride of Frankenstein meets Little Bo Peep. And she looks totally uncomfortable in that mess.

        Soon Yi is unfortunately unattractive and Woody looks like her grandfather that just escaped from a nursing home.

        Blake is gorgeous, but looks very tired.

  3. RedWeatherTiger says:

    I’m just routinely embarrassed for Kristen now.

    Parker looks like the Party Widow.

    Blake: just stop it.

  4. Bex says:

    That’s a bizarre dress on Kristen. I don’t get high fashion 80% of the time. The Daily Fail has a picture of someone who is apparently ‘Amy Adams’ at this premiere who could feasibly pass as her but with something funky going on with her face. It isn’t actually her right? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3689463/Pregnant-Blake-Lively-showcases-burgeoning-bump-Kristen-Stewart-lady-lace-Cafe-Society-premiere.html

    • oliphant says:

      My word!!! that really does not look like her- she looks simultaneously a lot older and not like herself? is it possible the high ponytail is pulling her face so much she looks so different???? i thought those ‘croydon facelifts’ were supposed to make you look younger anyway, not like a different person….

      please no Amy you’re so stunning, i just hope its a bad photo and not bad plastic surgery, god knows i look like a gargoyle on half the pics taken of me…..

      • Bex says:

        I’m genuinely not even 100% sure it’s her. If it is, I so hope that’s a combination of bad lighting/makeup/hair/sleep deprivation etc because…

    • MrsBPitt says:

      I wouldn’t even have known that was Amy Adams, without the caption…she looks so different…

    • MC2 says:

      She does look very different…….I’m hoping she was puffy from jet lag and maybe a cold? Amy is wonderful.

    • ernie says:

      Yeah, it’s straight up not Amy Adams. Different facial structure, plus the woman at the premiere has green eyes and Amy Adams has blue eyes. No idea who the woman is though.

    • morgfunk says:

      holy moly can’t believe it’s her but it is! I love her so much too but I don’t want to shame her by saying I’m disappointed. It must hurt to be nominated so many times, never win and then suddenly have your career take a down turn (I don’t think it has but perhaps it’s slowed down a bit but I think all amazing actors, you have to step back sometimes you can’t saturate the market year after year you have to leave people wanting more just my 2 cents). I think she got subtle eye work done and bad cheek fillers. I sincerely hope it settles well and soon…

  5. PunkyMomma says:

    Now that’s the dress Bella Swan should have worn to marry a ✨vampire✨ – all that’s missing are puncture wounds on her neck.

  6. Meme says:

    Kristen Stewart has one of the most beautiful faces I’ve seen in my life plus amazing hair too. To me, she’s up there with Beyoncé,Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Cillian Murphy, Rihanna, Leo DiCaprio,Angelina Jolie as the most beautiful faces in Hollywood. But I’ve also never seen anyone who puts so much effort into looking like the absolute worst

    • toni says:

      She has such an angry pointy harsh face. All angles. How is that beautiful? The sharp chin, huge ears, thin lips, dead eyes.

    • Bex says:

      I agree, I think she’s gorgeous. She just seems to actively work against that.

      • Jegede says:

        @Bex – She does.

        Her features have the same symmetry as Teresa Palmer (who I think is gorgeous) and Amber Heard.

        If Stewart grew her hair long, dyed it blonde, (and look like she showered more!); those three could pass for triplets

    • Twinky says:

      She looks like Jenna Malone to me. Those two could be sisters.

    • go girl says:

      I was with you until you got to Leo. I never understood the attraction to him. But to each their own.

    • Katie says:

      I have always thought that she is very pretty. She was gorgeous at almost all of the “Twilight” premieres!

  7. als says:

    I think she always has very good styling and she transforms any dress.

  8. Patricia says:

    Can’t stand that Chanel branding. It’s almost like this dress is so bad that the designers said “stamp some branding on it so everyone will know it’s Chanel and then they will think it’s high fashion instead of a ghastly mess”.

    And what does it matter how short a pregnant woman’s dress is? She looks fabulous. A pregnant woman should be comfortable, and she looks comfortable (for her, I sure wouldn’t be)!and at-ease and really beautiful.

    • Katie says:

      Don’t know if you’ve ever been pregnant, but as your stomach gets larger your balance can be thrown off very easily! With heels like that and a skirt like that if she were to fall she’d be showing *everyone* her baby chute! I’m not a particularly graceful person on my best day, so pregnancy was a “Tripp” (pun intended) 😂 at 5’2″ and 98# pre-preggers, with +40# (mostly stomach), my stomach came around corners before the rest of me!! I worked in a HUGE Naval Dental Clinic and they teased me telling I could get places faster if I would just lay down and roll!
      Heels aren’t advised for pregnant women for the reason I stated above. Falling could possibly cause the placenta to tear from the uterine wall and it is a medical emergency with possible death of the Mother AND baby.

      • Sarah says:

        It’s her body – she can choose to wear heels if she wants. Plus you don’t *really* care about her safety, you just want something to be judgey about. Some women feel more comfortable in heels. Blake has beeb pregnant before. She can make her own decisions.

      • EnnuiAreTheChampions says:

        I wore heels well into the final weeks of pregnancy. If it had become uncomfortable or if I had started feeling off-balance, I would have stopped, but I never did. Every pregnancy is different and I think we can trust most pregnant women to do what’s best with their own bodies.

  9. scottiegal says:

    Lagerfeld needs to retire and let a fresh designer take over Chanel. The brand has gone downhill the last few years.

  10. Jegede says:

    I actually like the idea of Stewart’s dress

    I think it would have worked better on someone taller or gazelle like.
    (Like Blake or Gisele)
    And long time no see, Parker Posey.

    Cafe Society has been getting great reviews (best since Blue Jasmine) and Stewart’s performance has been singled out. So good for her.

    But…………just no comment on the grossmaster Woody Allen.

    • CornyBlue says:

      I hope it is not the film she finally gets nominated for.

    • mia girl says:

      This dress is the type of thing her ex-girlfriend Soko wears on the RC, except Soko usually pulls looks like this off. I suppose they both wear Channel, but it’s strange to me that Stewart’s RC style lately has shades of SWFing Soko. The hair/hair styles, the eye makeup and outfits like this dress, (which personally I think is horrid).

      It’s like b*tch broke me heart and stole my look!

      • Another Anne says:

        I had the same thought! She definitely has been sporting more of a Soko vibe since their fling. I can almost see the steam coming out of Soko’s ears, and totally hope she writes a tell all.

    • Misti says:

      It’s gonna be nommed for some awards for sure.
      I hate Allen, but I can’t begrudge this casts job well done.

    • AngelaH says:

      Jegede, Thank you! I thought I was going to be the only one that likes that dress in theory and I too thought it would work better on someone taller. I hate the C branding on the skirt but I have to say that I am intrigued by the dress and would love to see it on someone else with some kind of styling. She doesn’t look like she is at all ready to carry off that much “look.” And the dress swallows her up. So to the “milkmaid fug or cute?” question, my answer is both.

  11. pretty says:

    oh my. the mighty edgy-lord try-hard non-conforming hardcore badass kirsten stewart in ..a .. what is that? they must have paid her a fortune for her to even wear that mess.

  12. naomipaige says:

    In my opinion, both her personality and style are FUG!!!

  13. Sullivan says:

    Kristen looks miserable in that dress. It’s an ugly dress.

  14. Calcifer says:

    I usually love Kristin Stewart and her edgy Chanel looks, but she looks really terrible here. It is as if she is wearing a straitjacket and about to be carted off to the mad house. The contrast between Kristen’s Halloween aura and Blake Lively’s usual ‘All-American cupcake’ outfit is hilarious though.

  15. Tig says:

    All I could think of in the top photo is Kristen Whig as the girl with the creepy arms/hands in those SNL skits. I guess $$ talks, but if I were her I would get a bonus for every beyond heinous outfit- this would qualify.
    Re Blake- can she be any more up Woody Allen’s butt? She really has become his defender of the moment.
    As far as the movie goes- I was so grossed out by the Emma Stone/Colin Firth one that won’t see this one, or any more for that matter. One positive- Soon Yi looks nice.

  16. CornyBlue says:

    Her hair is really really bad. Like I was seeing some interview of hers yesterday and it looked so freaking horrible I wanted to shave it off her head.
    That is such a bad dress too like I cannot believe one of the premium fashion houses designed it. My local tailor would do a better job.
    Hope this film flops !!!!

  17. HeyThere! says:

    I looked at the Amy pictures…I think it’s the very bold, harsh makeup she’s wearing…or at least I hope. She’s so gorgeous…please never mess with your face!

  18. Annie says:

    I laughed out loud when I saw KS’s dress. What a joke.

  19. Huckle says:

    I think kstew doesn’t like her dress either. At least that’s the vibe I get here. Maybe if she felt comfortable, she would’ve taken better pix. Are there other shots of her in this dress? I think I too like this dress maybe just on a different woman. Question, if you have a contract w/a fashion house, do you have to wear what they send you, or do you get to pick it out?

  20. Rach says:

    Right dress, wrong styling.

  21. Another Nina says:

    I think Kristen’s dress would look good on Debra Messing or someone like that. But it does not suit Stewart at all…And I believe that she told once that she always chose herself what to wear.

  22. MrsBPitt says:

    It looks like Blake is channeling a Sharon Tate vibe in this mini dress…

  23. Gatita says:

    It’s sad that I think Soon-Yi is the best dressed of all of them.

    I’m not a fan of Blake’s style but damn if I looked that good pregnant I’d show the goods too.

    Not sure how KStew gets away with marketing herself as a non-conformist while shilling for Chanel. It’s a talent. She can’t act but she’s knows how to sell herself while looking like she’s doesn’t GAF.

  24. manta says:

    I’ve seen other pictures from the event and she was beaming, seeming totally happy and at ease. So the impression I got was totally different from here.
    I sometimes feel Stewart gets the same treatment as Michelle Williams when it comes to pick out pictures from events: always chose the ones where they look sullen, and then go with the usual narrative “why so gloom ? Does she ever smile ?
    I understand it fits a persona often projected but when they precisely try to present themselves differently why ignoring it?

    • Sullivan says:

      I think Kristen is gorgeous. She has a lovely smile and when she does smile it seems genuine.

  25. Insomniac says:

    Oh, ew. I really hate most of what Chanel puts her in anyhow, but that thing is especially heinous. She looks really good in simple, classic styles — I don’t understand who comes up with these monstrosities for her, or why.

  26. SusanneToo says:

    Coco is spinning like a top right now.

  27. Wren33 says:

    I like a lot of her weird fashion choices. I like the mix of feminine/non-feminine and I think she generally pulls them off. With this dress it looks like the wrist things are too long and she is over-conscious of them.

  28. TreadStyle says:

    Ahhh this is absolutely horrible! I can honestly say NO ONE would look good in this. I too thought she was a perfect fit for Balenciaga and always looked great in their styles. Blake Lively also looks ridiculous to me here, that dress, I mean come on, it’s covered in Pom poms.

  29. Roller74 says:

    In order:
    “WTF”
    “That’s not bad, but those heels are really high”
    “Gross”
    “Nailed it!”

  30. Aren says:

    I was wondering why I was seeing pictures of Woody Allen, then I realized the post was about his movie.
    Now I’m going to have to live with the guilt of clicking on a Woody Allen post, even if it wasn’t on purpose.

  31. kri says:

    It is all dreadful. All of it.

  32. serena says:

    Kristen looks hideous in that dress, almost like Soko dressed her (lol).

  33. Sport says:

    Kristen Bonham-Stewart looks like she is starring in the next Tim Burton flick (if they need a mumbler.)
