Overview
- Kristen Stewart wore Look 69 from Chanel’s Cruise 2027 at the opening of the International Biarritz Film Festival on Tuesday, June 23.
- The outfit was a black knitted shorts set with a miniskirt layered over biker shorts and red-and-cream stripe trim at the neckline, cuffs and hems.
- Stylist Tara Swennen and Chanel loaned the look, which Stewart personalized by pulling the neckline off one shoulder, swapping the runway’s white belt for a black crocodile-textured belt with interlocking Cs, and replacing the runway shoes with black loafers.
- Cruise 2027 has appeared only on a few celebrities so far, including Marion Cotillard, Camila Morrone and Penélope Cruz, and pieces are not expected in boutiques for several months.
- The Biarritz show was staged by Matthieu Blazy in a seaside town tied to Coco Chanel’s early history and the festival appearance illustrates how brand ambassadors and stylists shape early public impressions of a new collection.
