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, as when she paired 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.
Sounds simple enough—but not when you factor in the actor’s beauty look. K.Stew opted for a spiky, tousled mullet for her hair and went nearly makeup-free on her face. That is, aside from her filled-in brows, which further amplified the androgynous look.
The Twilight actor certainly knows how to turn out a look on the Met Gala red carpet. She skipped last year’s event, but in 2021 she showed up in a bouncy—and blonde!—ponytail with ’50s pinup bangs that matched her rockabilly blouse and pants (both Chanel, naturally). At the 2019 Met Gala, which was themed “Camp: Notes on Fashion,” the actor paired her Chanel sequined look with bleached brows and a peach-dyed pixie cut.
