Kristen Stewart arrived at The Metropolitan Museum of Art for the 2023 Met Gala on Monday, May 1 dripping in Chanel, but of course she would. The actor has long been a brand ambassador for the luxury fashion house and regularly wears it on red carpets—often with a cheeky twist, like pairing a classic tweed suit with retro glasses and no bra in sight. Stewart may be committed to wearing high fashion, but she always mixes it with her signature edge.
And honestly, who better to rep Chanel at this year’s Met Gala? The theme was “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” a celebration of the life and work of the designer who served as the French fashion house’s creative director from 1983 until his death. The actor stayed on theme with a black-and-white jacket, black trousers, a bolero, loafers, and a logo belt—all Chanel.
Her stylist Tara Swennen told The Hollywood Reporter that the look is from the brand’s 2016/2017 Cruise collection. “Kristen is doing a nod to him personally, but this is not about imitating Karl,” Swennen said. “The overall look has more of a zoot suit vibe about it, and Kristen was really drawn to that. It’s more about leaning into an androgynous look, while it also harkens to the way it went down the runway. But overall the look feels very Kristen.”
