Later in the evening Stewart changed into a completely different Chanel for the Vanity Fair after-party. This time she opted for a black lace gown, socks, and platform sandals. A great combination of fashionable and comfortable!
An after-party outfit change!
Stefanie Keenan/VF22, GettyThis is hardly the first time Stewart has made flat shoes a red-carpet staple. She often pairs them with suits for a sophisticated but approachable look. In 2016 she even wore blue sneakers on the Cannes red carpet despite the festival’s semi-official policy that women must wear heels. In 2018 she protested again by removing her shoes altogether while on the red carpet.
On and off the red carpet, she’s a lace-up devotee. By 2012, she had worn over ten different pairs of sneakers to various events.
The woman just does not want to keep heels on. She pulled this move in 2017, 2016, 2015, at Venice, at Cannes, at premieres, wherever. And why shouldn’t she take them off? They pinch your toes, wreak havoc on your knees, and strain your back. Maybe next time Chanel can provide a pair of flats that Stewart can wear all night long.
