While it’s certainly prestigious to wear Chanel couture, very rarely are these customized pieces all that great. In Kristen Stewart’s case, I think Chanel has done her dirty pretty consistently over the years, including that god-awful polyester nightie they gave her for the Venice Film Festival premiere of Spencer. Kristen has been wearing Chanel throughout her promotional tour and film festival tour for Spencer. She’s a brand ambassador and she’s getting paid, so I get that. But they really give her terrible stuff.
Last night’s LA premiere of Spencer was no different. Another Chanel look. This time, it was a half-sheer grey skirt – which looks like an old-timey petticoat – with stupid ruffles and a black bow. But it got worse: the “top” of the Chanel couture ensemble was basically a stiff satin bandeau top with little shoulder straps. While I haven’t seen this from every angle, I feel like one wrong move and Kristen’s boobs will come out. Ugh. It’s just so bad and unflattering! Kristen has a nice figure, but this does nothing for her.
In case you’re wondering about the reviews… every review I’m seeing is about how her performance specifically is magnificent. Some critics take issue with the film – it’s too long, it’s weird, etc – but Kristen’s performance is praised in nearly every review. I think K-Stew is genuinely going to have an Oscar campaign, you guys. And she’s really going to wear terrible Chanel couture throughout. *sob*

One of the stupidest dresses ever.
The designers at Chanel need to cut back on the edibles.
Or maybe consume more.
Definitely consume more.
LOL 😂
It’s someone having a sly dig at Kate’s see-through skirt she wore as a dress parading on a cat walk to get William to notice her at Uni!
Looks like someone “black barred” her boobs out (like they do for nude pics).
This is God AWFUL. It’s like her stylist stopped dressing her half-way because the check didn’t clear.
I love this. Beautifully captures her personality.
I love it too!
I love that your comment can be interpreted so many ways. For example, I agree that it captures her personality, but I’m not saying what I think about her personality. 😉
I do also. Beautiful on her.
These photos aren’t great – but she absolutely pulls off the outfit. She looks sexy AF
Agree. Fashion should be fun. If you’ve got the body, go for it!
I don’t hate it, the nightie was much worse. I think it would look better if it was made into one piece.
I love that she seems to have found herself over the years and comes off more comfortable and confident while still keeping her personality.
She looks great in a super weird outfit… But the hair color is doing her no favors.
So brassy. Looks like color-at-home yellow.
Weirdly, it’s ugly but she’s pulling it off
The outfit is all strange lines, unflattering materials and a strangely basic design. It’s a nope.
She must have an incredible agent, getting all these high profile roles and chanel. Kristen continues to win. Can’t wait to see if she gets nominations for it. Not the best chanel look but she don’t gaf.
The hair is doing her a disservice. Who pays to have their hair that awful brassy colour?!
It’s literally the exact same color my hair ended up when my dad refused to let me go blonde when I was 13, so I had my idiot cousin try to do it at home.
Exactly! It’s a home disaster blonde! I think she’s very beautiful and I don’t hate the outfit but that hair and the fact that she seems to like it is odd to me.
Tons of folks. That brassy blonde is *the* color for this fall. Get used to seeing it everywhere.
I actually don’t mind the skirt, but that top is awful, and the overall look is really bad. Chanel! Don’t do this to her! If she wins, you don’t want it to be iconic because of how BAD she looks….you want her to be like Jennifer Lawrence, Reese Witherspoon, Julia Roberts – those were iconic Oscar winner looks. be like that Chanel.
Nice necklace though lol.
The top looks like a fashion magazine “don’t” bar!
It does!!! I saw the look and all I could mutter was “ oh my god…..”!
She’s so gorgeous and Chanel seems intent on making her look so terrible. Somebody give this woman a contract with Rick Owens or YSL.
I’m not too mad at the skirt, but the top is kinda hurting my boobs just looking at it.
I think it’s a weird choice for the theme of this particular movie and the movie’s premiere.
Her abs look fit though.
I like the skirt but not the hair & makeup combo
Why does she always insist to go out in that awful make up and hair
Terrible dress. Somehow she’s carrying it off even with that hair. What is happening.
She looks like a flamenco dancer. I just honestly think Chanel has no idea how to dress Kristen in a way that complements her personality. It’s too bad, because it’s such a missed opportunity for Chanel. Why have a badass represent you if all your ideas of badass design translate to diminishing the taste level? They don’t get it, and apparently aren’t going to get it anytime soon.
I think she looks great mostly. A Chanel version of a young hip woman.
This is so terrible. She needs a fashion intervention ASAP. Does her team really think going into award show season dressing in a modernized skimpy gothic Victorian lampshade couture aesthetic is her best move? Just because it’s Chanel doesn’t mean it’s a good look.
i’m kinda digging ithe concept, but the top is a little “sports bra” chic.
I really like it.
I don’t care for the petticoat-ness of the skirt.
I think it’s fantastic – I would have have skipped the smoky eye to lighten things up and yeller should never be on anyone’s head … but she is still owning this look .
I’m getting a Sexy My Fair Lady Halloween costume feeling from this look. Just needs a black lacy parasol.
I actually quite like this.
I love this look. *shrugs*
I don’t mind this particular look and I like the top. Generally recent Chanel has looked like a parody of Chanel and the brand just doesn’t have a strong design direction right now. Agree she’d look great in YSL, and Valentino recently has been putting out some great collections.
Right? Wtf, Chanel?
Chanel does her dirty…. But doesn’t she get some say? Do they present her with one outfit, or rather a choice and this is what she chooses?
Engagement/wedding ring on her left hand, or purely decorative?
The critics always praise her, though. And every time I fall for it. And every time she still sucks.
The top doesn’t fit – there’s a visible gap at the bottom. This is literally a five-minute fix with a needle and thread.
Why on earth is the skirt lined in WHITE? But not the top panel? It does look like somebody forgot to hand her the actual skirt as she was walking out the door.
I really like this outfit and think she looks great. I’m still not convinced her as princess Diana will work, but I will wait until I see the film to judge, she could still completely take me by surprise. Having said that I hope it does well and makes it all the way to the oscars for the sole purpose of pissing off Prince Charles.
The “top” is terrible. I don’t hate the skirt but it’s either too high or too tight. Both? It sits weird on her ribs.
Maybe not popular here, but I like her and think she’s a decent actress. And I don’t agree about the outfit. It’s a great outfit, but to wear a dress like that, you need to OWN IT. Wear it with CONFIDENCE. And I rarely see Kristen being like that in any couture, much less this dress. She comes off as shy and a little uncomfortable with all the attention and it reflects in how she presents herself in any outfit on the red carpet, during a premiere, etc. Just want to see herself wear an outfit with confidence. She’s a very attractive, beautiful woman.
I’m a total Kirsten Stewart fan girl and I just love her. I think she’s talented. And as a teen girl it meant a lot to me that were was a celebrity my age refusing to smile on red carpets. It didn’t matter how many times she was criticised for it she refused to smile when she didn’t want to.
Plus it’s really beautiful seeing that more and more celebrities are comfortable with being visibly queer. Hopefully one day soon all LGBTQ+ people will be able to live freely.
Meh. I’ve seen much worse. And I don’t necessarily think this was a good choice for, “Spencer,” but she looks good. The hair needs work lol, but she looks happy to be about.
I don’t dislike the dress, it has been growing on me since I first saw it. But KS does not look good on it, she needs a longer torso for this.
Oh my gosh!! The upcoming flick on Netflix with Sandra Bullock Anne Viola Davis looks phenomenal!!! The Unforgivable!! I am certainly watching this as soon as it hits!! I adore Viola Davis!! She was incredible in Fences with Denzel Washington too!! I have watched it 3 times, at least!!
I am a big KStew fan and I’m here for the Oscar campaign.
I realise he’s passed away but Karl Lagerfeld made some truly atrocious comments about the famous womxn. Like describing Adele as “a little too fat, but has a beautiful face and a divine voice”. She’s gorgeous at every size. He had a very narrow definition of what an acceptable size was for a womxn. I often wondered if he actually just wasn’t inspired by the feminine form and held it in disdain. It showed up in his designs which tended to be way too boxy and weren’t draped well. His designs don’t suit anyone including Kstew and high end fashion models imo.
Whereas designers like Christian Dior, Givenchy, Oscar De La Renta and Vera Wang seem to be directly inspired by their love of the feminine form as well as fashion & it shows. Even tho their aesthetics are wildly different.
For the love of god, someone get a toner on that hair!!
Not a fan of this little home wrecker…plus she’s a horrible actress…
I think she needed a better hair situation with the outfit to balance it all out.
Boots. She should have worn black leather combat boots. I think the heels are the only thing that makes it not work.
You know, I think you may be on to something there. The top and bottom clash to me, since the top feels modern but the skirt more old fashioned. Putting a combat style or generally more masculine shoe with it would have created more symmetry since the ruffled layer than becomes the contrast piece in the middle of the layering.
She’s pulling this off the best she can, but I wish they’d gone with a different top. A satin crop would have been better, I think; you still get the stomach skimming effect with a little more coverage. The bandeau just doesn’t work for me with the more old fashioned style of the skirt. They feel incongruent to me.
I am NOT a fan of this hair color at all on her, though. It completely clashes with her coloring, I feel. God, I hope it’s for a role and not something she’s doing willingly to herself.
This outfit gives her ridges in her tummy that I didn’t even know humans had. Please, no more of this. If she can’t pull these garments off, they aren’t going to attract buyers. The girl is gorgeous.
I like the skirt .. the top balances out all the volume of the skirt….and I like her I think she’s a really good actress …
