Kristen Stewart Brings Casual-Cool Style to the Cannes Red Carpet in a Pink Baseball Cap and Short Suit

Kristen Stewart began her day in a charming pink tweed Chanel ensemble—and she’s ending it in equally striking fashion. The actress-turned-director arrived at the premiere of Bono: Stories of Surrender, wearing a pale-pink short suit, crop top and black tie. She accessorized with a baseball cap:

Stewart’s directorial debut, The Chronology of Water, is premiering this evening in a different theater. The star told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published yesterday that the version of the film screening at Cannes is a first draft.

She said she “cannot believe” she is at the festival as a director rather than actor. “There’s not a more eloquent way [to say it],” Stewart admitted. “We barely finished this movie. It’s not even done. I need to come home and literally have two more weeks in color and sound. This is my fucking first draft. Like, we are picture perfect. But when I tell you, we slid a very thin piece of paper under a closed door and they were like, ‘Sure.’ My head blew off. This was such a fucking Hail Mary, because [Cannes] is the place that you would like to go have conversations. So I was like, ‘Fuck it. We might as well try it.’ I am not being false humble—we’re all running on fumes. I was like, ‘We can do it.’ I was like an absolute basket case. I’m kind of happy to take on something vulnerable. I’m happy to take something with mistakes. Mistakes are fucking hot. I love stories about movies and filmmakers that have taken their films to Cannes and had to come back and fix a few things and release a different movie. It’s all about revealing yourself. So it’s very meta that we’re running in here half-dressed. But I’m into it.”
