Kristen Stewart wore an incredible, slouchy Chanel sweater-dress at TIFF

43rd Toronto International Film Festival - Jeremiah Terminator LeRoy - Premiere

Here are some photos of Kristen Stewart at the TIFF premiere of Jeremiah Terminator LeRoy this weekend. Kristen is such a regular at these film festivals, although I more closely associate her with Cannes. She knows how to do the whole thing though – she knows how to make a film festival fashion statement, she knows how to shill and quickly promote her movie, and then she gets the hell out of Dodge. She’s no longer the awkward lip-biter who eye-rolls her way through a promo tour – she’s a seasoned professional now, and she acts like it. Good for her.

I sort of loved her slouchy Chanel dress at the premiere? It looks amazing in general, and on her specifically, it’s a great fit. It’s basically a slouchy sweater dress with extra sparkle. I would wear the sh-t out of it, and I don’t think I’ve ever said that about a Chanel look.

The film is a true story, and it’s a bio-pic of sorts. It’s the true story of Laura Albert, who wrote several successful books under the name JT LeRoy. Albert is played by Laura Dern. Albert ropes her sister-in-law Savannah Knoop (played by Kristen Stewart) to play the “fictional persona” of JT LeRoy in interviews and appearances. Shenanigans ensue. The film isn’t getting great reviews, but critics say that both Dern and Stewart are good in a mediocre film.

Meanwhile, Kristen was asked about the Charlie’s Angels reboot, which she’s already signed onto. She told Variety that this version is “kind of like a ‘woke’ version… there’s a kitsch nature to the last ones that was super fun. But nowadays, if you see a woman in combat, everything should be completely and utterly within their ability.” Kristen also says that there will be more than three Angels and there’s a “whole network of angels.” Say what you will about the Drew Barrymore Angels movies, but the stunts were good for the time. They didn’t treat the Angels like delicate flowers who were incapable of combat. So I don’t really know what Kristen is talking about here?

    The dress is cool (although I feel like you could find it at any mall shop) but wtf are those shoes? I thought she was falling out of them but they just don’t have backs? Me no likey.

    • runcmc says:

      There’s a clear plastic band across the top that holds the shoe onto her foot even without a back. They looked weird to me too so I zoomed in! They actually look pretty wearable, since the band seems to really be securing the shoe.

      • SM says:

        I hate this trend of high heels with plastic elements. Looks just cheap, like the plastic part is supposted to be invisible, but it is not so I am not enjoying the fact that it is hard to find the right pair of shoes and now it is even more difficult with increasing amount of shoes with that plastic thing.
        As for Kristen. The dress looks cozy and comfortable, but that hair – no bueno!

    • lee says:

      I get what she’s talking about – the stunts in those movies were more like superhero moves (hanging onto a helicopter then escaping from an exploding helicopter?) I know a lot of movies do that, but I prefer something that’s not completely out of the realm of reality.

      • SK says:

        Exactly. They were fun but not in the realm of actual possibility. So she’s suggesting that these will be in the realm of possibility. Like how Atomic Blonde has her taking real hits and feeling them and fight using her elbows etc. more – fighting like an actual woman would.

      • ByTheSea says:

        Yeah, I got it, too. They were Mission Impossible level stunts – not realistic at all. She’s saying that you won’t have to suspend disbelief to watch this new one.

    • Wasabi says:

      There is a wide plastic strap that keeps her in the shoes 🔍👀

    • C says:

      She has always had the worst taste in shoes and they make her look awkward on the carpet. She is hands down the most overrated actress out there. Jennifer Lawrence is slightly better at all of this, but equally as irritating.

  2. Renee2 says:

    She looks like a Twiggy/Edie Sedgewick (so) kind of combo.
    Re the film, I’m sure she just means that it will be less campy and will be SERIOUS.

    • jessamine says:

      Yeah I think she just meant grittier, more realistic action sequences not six-flips-on-a-wire-in-a-mini-skirt. I liked the Drew version but I am also willing to check out this new one. No conflict.

    • Wasabi says:

      Yes, so much Edie Sedgewick cuteness about her clothes, makeup and hair situation. Looks good on her.

    • LahdidahBaby says:

      Omg, she DOES look like Twiggy! I love her hair that way. All around, a good look for Kristen.

    • detritus says:

      The Twiggy comparison will have her makeup artist happy, because this is a deliberate and phenomenally done homage.

      Note the lower lashes and waterline, Kristen’s being a toned down version of this iconic Twiggy look. Next take a look at her upper liner. This is done in a very atypical shape, not following her natural lash line, instead creating the illusion of a different eye shape. Twiggy’s eye shape.

      I came specifically to comment on it, because it’s crazy good. Unique, cutting edge, and not insta contoured-plus-a-cut crease-w-black wing (ya basic ya instapores, get on this level).

  3. Christine says:

    I think she means that some of the fight scenes, like in the alley etc- were physically impossible (stopping in mid air) so this one will be more realistic?

  4. InquisitiveNewt says:

    Good G-d! She’s smiling!!!

  5. Beth says:

    It’s not great, but it’s the best she’s looked in Chanel so far, and she’s not slouching and scowling, she’s finally happy looking. Oh please, no reboot of Charlie’s Angels! Kristen isn’t right for the part, and reboots need to stop

  6. Eleonor says:

    I don’t like the dress, but makeup and hair look amazing to me.

    • josephine says:

      Agree. Love the make-up especially. But that dress is unflattering and borders on cheap-looking. I don’t get why she is always styled in clothes that dwarf her. Over-sized still needs to fit correctly – it’s not an excuse to slop any old thing on someone.

  7. Nikki says:

    I don’t think it’s such a great dress. Looks sort of like a vanilla Hostess Sno Ball.

  8. Pinar O. says:

    Guilty but i loved the cameron diaz drew b and lucy liu versions and i wish they would give us a 3rd one. Just because of brain off fun on and “girl power “

  9. Parigo says:

    This looks cute on her because she is thin with a nice figure. On anyone a bit heavier it’d look like a frumpy sac.

  10. Jenni says:

    Not a fan of the original movie but interested in the reboot. Female director, diverse cast, strong smart women in action roles.. I will always give that a chance even if remakes can be a bit boring.

    I think the original cast are doing a cameo too which is pretty cool.

    Nice to see Kristen back in mainstream movies too. And her and Stella are still going strong. I like the together. It’s low key and no drama.

  11. Adorable says:

    Noooo to the Charlie’s Angels “Reboot-Reboot”.Lucy Liu,Drew & Cameron still look fab why couldn’t they have asked them to continue,atleast a 3rd movie!

  12. Anastasia says:

    I love the cut of the dress, but that fabric is ick. I wish it were a different fabric, like truly a sweater look.

  13. Aerohead21 says:

    I really like it minus the heels. They look painful. I even like the hair and makeup. It’s a bit heavy on the eye but it was clearly meant to give an Andy Warhol 60s Mod look. And as far as the dress looking like it can be found anywhere, I think that’s good. I like when celebrities try to be more “normal” because we have an entire generation trying to live outside their means and misprioritize their purchases (i.e. make up over rent money)…it helps to see something we little people can mimick and feel like a million bucks.

  14. Veronica S. says:

    I like the dress, but she has such an awkward way of posing. Which is a shame because she does wear fashion well, admittedly.

  15. tealily says:

    I love this look on her! The makeup too!
