Kristen Stewart flew out of LAX last Friday and she spent the weekend in Paris, partying with Riley Keough and other friends (see one of Riley’s Instagrams here). Alicia Cargile did not come to Paris with Kristen. Which concerns me. Kristen and Alicia actually haven’t stepped out since Kristen’s mom maybe-sort-of outed her daughter in a print interview. Jules Stewart later claimed she never said what was reported, but I kind of wonder if what happened in the wake of that interview was Kristen’s attempt at damage control. I also wonder if Kristen and Alicia are on the rocks, or if Kristen is just wary of being seen with Alicia at this moment. What’s the big deal? I have no idea.
Anyway, these photos are the reason why Kristen came to Paris – she’s still got a Chanel contract and for this year’s Chanel Winter 2015/2016 show, Karl Lagerfeld decided to organize the show like a casino. Lagerfeld has done these weird theme shows before, to mixed results. His Chanel-Walmart show is still one of the most amazingly terrible things I’ve ever seen – remember that? For this show, Lagerfeld got some of his muses – K-Stew, Julianne Moore, Lily Collins and more – to “act” in the Chanel Casino set in the Grand Palais.
What I love? Even though Kristen was given an extremely wearable black velvet pantsuit and even though she’s a very youthful 25, she’s still giving me major Hillary Clinton vibes. Right? Not only could I see Hillary in this pantsuit, I’m pretty sure Hillary already has like a dozen versions of this pantsuit.
I’m also including some pics of Kristen – in her street clothes – arriving at the Grand Palais. Lagerfeld didn’t trust any of his muses to wear the Chanel clothes TO the event, he dressed them AT the event. He was right not to trust his muses because Kristen Stewart couldn’t even be bothered to wash her hair. Or run a comb through it.

Spot on Kaiser! Kristen is a greasy mess and Hillary owns a bunch of these pant suits. I’m not dissing the suits for older professional women. I’d wear one too if I could afford it. But on Kristen, nah
The pantsuit seems boxy, shapeless and unremarkable. Love the shoes, though…
I think Betty White could rock it.
Karl should invite Betty!
Yes, it does look boxy and not tailored to fit her properly.
It looks like she bought it from a consignment store in the wrong size.
Also, it looks like she hasn’t washed her hair in a week and doesn’t own a brush either.
I need KStew to be in a photograph alongside Ben Affleck to see who could do a better impression of death warmed over.
This comment made my day! Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
We don’t see Gisele who is another Chanel woman and a real fashion model doing all the promo stuff Chanel hired Kristen to do.
Does anyone knows the answer?
Kristen and Julianne Moore are paid .Chanel always is ” the most prestigious haute couture” and they will lend some outfits in the future and maybe other contracts
Giselle is make up/perfume spokesperson, not clothes.
Kiera Knightley is another make up/perfume spokesperson.
They wear the clothing to major events, but they aren’t in the ads nor at the shows.
Makeup, perfume AND clothes (Spring/Summer 2015 collection).
Some designers & advertisers think it gives cachet to their product by adding a ‘narrative’ of lifestyle (Jaguar, Dior, Chanel, etc.)… to the point of hiring film directors and actors. St. Laurent used thematic inspiration to great effect, but did not force the issue in such a way.
This casino ‘scene’ cracked me up; it immediately recalled the ‘reverse rustics’ Marie Antoinette used to corral all her familiars to put on for each other.
She retired from the runway. She doesn’t have to do it. But some months ago she watched a Chanel fashion show in Seoul.
She cleans up nicely.
I know two people who have met her/ worked with her and apparently she is the sweetest person. But she always looks so bummed out on camera!
Maybe it’s her anxiety and a defense mechanism?
Enty just posted a blind that alludes to Alicia and Kristen…
Enty makes up his blinds, though. It even says so in small print on his site, or used to anyway. I don’t read him anymore.
Even when he doesn’t make them up he’s actually admitted that one of the sources for his blinds is overheard party gossip.
She’s a drab dishrag who lucked into a hugely successful franchise. I couldn’t care less what she does.
I only clicked on the article to say the exact same thing! Kristen Stewart looking like she hasn’t bathed in a month? Check. Kristen Stewart looking like her cat just died? Check. I haven’t watched Still Alice yet, simply because she’s in it. I love Julianne Moore, but cannot bear to watch this chick “act.”
LOL!
The last photo…she looks like one of the Bowery Boys…very Leo Gorcey (sp.).
Goddamn Stewie…wash your freaking hair!.
I may be alone in this and I’ll see myself out, but I think Kristen should pursue modelling rather than acting. I think she has that je ne sais quoi that really make a model: her face and attitude say Over It, but she always looks chic and ahead of the curve. Even when she looks unwashed.
+1 I’ll exit with you.
I detest her street style, but I think she’s looked really lovely in the Chanel events. She has a very lovely face. And go figure, I like the velvet suit.
I agree. She has absolutely no fashion sense when it comes to street wear but she does have a lovely face. She’d be perfect in a Guy Bourdin or Helmut Newton shoot if they were still alive.
@carol I looked up Guy Bourdin and Helmut Newton, and I agree 100% that she would fit in with their work.
Lol your alone.
But really I don’t know how you can look at those photos especially picture two and think that. What Jena se qua are you seeing? She looks miserable like she wishes she was so place else.
I am so tired of the rolled-up hipster pant leg I could plotz.
That Chanel jacket ends in a very awkward length as well; its hem hits the widest part of the body and eliminates any waist, chest or breasts whatsoever. No jewelry to fem things up, either. So he somehow got both military and dowdy on this one.
I’m still retching from Unkle Karl’s “Little Tyrolean Boys and Girls” mess, served up last year. Same clothes now, just minus the ruffles, edelweiss and lederhosen.
The classic Chanel suit needs someone who looks a little classier in it..she looks like a bratz doll who never sleeps. They can’t possibly think her girl fans are customers for this look.
This is just so blah- and she lacks any sort of spark to bring it to life. Karl L just needs to hang it up. If owners can nudge out Donna Karan ( will never believe she stepped down w/o a hard push), then surely Karl and Coupette can be designer emeritus-#savechanel.
Re lack of Alicia sightings- a few weeks ago there were pics of them and said then KS looked to have one foot out the door- could be just that.
I watched the show and she can’t even walk in heels. Embarrassing. I’m not even going to comment on the hair.
Chanel should hire someone like Lily-Rose, she has the IT-factor.
I thought that was Lily-Rose Depp! I’m sure Karl will hire her at some point, her mama has a long relationship with him and Chanel. I’m interested in how her career develops, but I’m more than a little creeped out by how obsessive some corners of the interwebs have become about her. She’s only 16 and looks so much younger—overt interest in her strikes me as…prurient.
I used to be in celebrity parenting blogging (ugh, it wasn’t a good fit) and I remember seeing a pic of the Depp kids and they are both staggering, ethereal, amazing-looking human beings. Of course, Vanessa is in this video too, but she comes out lateish so you might miss her.
I think she looks fine as does Julianne but i’ll forever contend Kristen Stewart and Chanel aren’t a good fit. Kristen could rock a more rock like brand but stuffing her in a corporate or stuffy traditional tweed or crushed velvet suit or box dress is BORING and its seems only for her fans pleasure bc then it looks like a costume paired with that hair. But I’m the only one who sees this disconnect. Kristen belongs in Chanel like Hilary belongs in Alexander Wang. Also Alicia made sure to photograph herself in Ks house while in paris throwing a party with Rob Pattinsons Ellen Show boxers on. GROSSSSS. And her friends took pics all over Kristens house and it looked a hot wreck. Definitely trailer trash. Kristen, you can do better. This chic is pressed.
Uh … How do you know it’s Rob’s underwear? What a weird thing to say
How many people do we know wear Ellen Show underwear but the guy K use to date at her house. lol
Considering she and everyone else dressed at the show, the hair was probably styled there. I like the suit but it is giving me major Hillary vibes.
Hair issue is so hilarious to me. So many times I’ve seen comments like ” so bold and different and refreshing, so sexy”etc. But only if the person is liked. Otherwise it’s greasy and gross. Lol
LOL i love how Kristen being Chanel’s muse gets certain ‘fashionistas’ in a tizzy. I love that they do not expect her to change her street style. Karl loves her – she’s modeled glasses, bags and clothes for him. I think she’s exactly what he wants. He says he ‘doesn’t do cheerleaders’ and the fact is that Kristen gets a lot of attention. I loved her pant suit – chic, no fuss and very comfortable. I just hate wearing velvet. the feel of it drives me insane.
Alicia and her are fine considering she was in a photo with Kristen’s dog and at Kristen’s house just a couple of days ago. Alicia has a normal job and cannot just go to Paris on a whim, and she doesn’t really go on any of Kristen’s work trips. I resent the implication that Kristen is ashamed of her relationship just because she hasn’t been ultra ‘hey i’m dating xyz’ public with it. She hasn’t hidden anything. The fact that gossip blogs have been talking about the 2 of them for a long time proves that. They are together a lot and don’t try to avoid being photographed.
Well she sure fits in well with Jenner, Delevingne, Dellal and Ora.
The only tolerable Chanel girl is Keira.
Well, ultimately it doesn’t matter what anybody thinks. Karl wants her and i’m sure she is getting paid handsomely for it. In one of Kristen’s earliest pre-Twilight interviews, she was asked what designers she liked. She said she wasn’t really into that world but she did love a good Chanel pant suit … and here we are 10 years or so later and she’s a face of the brand and is opening it’s Haute Couture show in a custom made pant suit especially for her.
@JENNA – Good Point.
Jenner, Dellal, Ora, interesting cast indeed.
Kristen really cleans up nicely. Her face takes make up so well and her skin is amazing. She definitely has something…one of her early works was as a mute rape victim and you just wanted to see more of her. She is compelling despite some of her lukewarm performances. also, She’s not 100% congruent with the Chanel brand but it’s fine–maybe even a good thing. She can definitely pull off classic-lovely-Chanel even though her default is rocker-grunge. That adds to the brand. It highlights the Chanel look bc Kristen in real life is the antithesis.
Tragic.
Kristen looks haggard, and wtf is going on here? This is like Futurama Downton Abbey.
Love it. The perfect combination of classic and cool. I really like the fact that most of fashion outlets changed their minds about her being the face of Chanel and are loving it now.
i don’t think she is THE face of Chanel but one of the many faces!
LOL!
Whats with all the MC Hammer dropped crotch pant suits?? EWWW. No wonder KStew doesn’t look very happy!
Say what you will about her fashion style, but she has a killer figure for someone that had a secret baby or two not that long ago.
Her look is crap-tastic! Chanel can’t even clean her up!
I think this was a great premise for a show, but the lighting did it no favours; it looked like it took place in a hollowed-out supermarket. And the entryway was seriously blah.
The e-cig thing was way too selfconscious, and as for the clothes, this is not a great year for Chanel, obviously. Like you said, an awful lot of Hillary Clinton there. An awful lot of St John Pantsuit Mother of the Bride thing going on. But Julianne Moore’s dress was lovely, and the necklace was stunning. There was a little black cocktail number with a lively skirt that was charming. Rita Ora’s outfit was pretty swaggy, but would have been better on Eva Green or someone who didn’t try to sell it so hard.
Who was that lazy-eyed girl with the long hair in the tutu skirt? She looked so over it all the way through, and she does NOT know how to walk down stairs in a full skirt. She looked like some Hasty Pudding tranny-for-a-night walking in a dress for the first time. The girl who came out right after her was amazing though.
It’s funny watching them all remember to stick out their bums extra-hard when they lean over.
Don’t worry about Kristen and Alicia – there were pics posted from a party that Alicia had at Kristen’s this weekend, showing Alicia holding a beer can and wearing the “Ellen” underwear that Ellen DeGeneres gave Rob when he did her show. Alicia was standing by K’s pool and with her dog Cole; and there were also pictures of someone with her boob hanging out standing next to a Picasso that Kristen must have bought, showing two women lovers. Then after posting these pictures their friend Allannah came on and yelled at fans for following them.. So sounds like things as usual.
