In a stunning display of style, actors Kristen Stewart and Léa Seydoux made a powerful statement at the photocall for their new movie during the 75th annual Cannes Film Festival.
Dressed to impress at the Palais des Festivals, co-stars Kristen Stewart and Léa Seydoux showcased their dapper side as they graced the Crimes of the Future photocall. Adding an androgynous touch to their ensembles, both actors infused their personal style identities into each look.
Kristen Stewart represents Chanel, while Léa Seydoux serves as an ambassador for Louis Vuitton. True to their brand affiliations, the actresses chose outfits from their respective fashion houses for the esteemed French film festival.
Former Bond girl actress, Léa Seydoux, opted for a classic, boxy suit set by Louis Vuitton. Her outfit featured an oversized black wool jacket paired with matching shorts. Completing the look, she wore a white silk shirt, a colorful floral-print tie, and black pointy-toe pumps, all from Louis Vuitton. Styled by Alexandra Imgruth, Seydoux's blonde cropped hair cascaded gently to one side, adding an elegant touch.
Kristen Stewart chose to wear a red checkered tweed jumpsuit from Chanel's Resort 2023 collection, which debuted in Monte-Carlo. Making a bold choice, she forwent a bra and left the ensemble unbuttoned, creating a plunging neckline for an edgy vibe. Styled by Tara Swennen, Stewart accessorized the look with gold-tinted aviator sunglasses, platform black boots, and her signature laissez-faire wavy blonde tresses.
Speaking with WWD about her new film and her close bond with Chanel, Stewart openly acknowledged her inclination to defy sartorial norms. Throughout her career, she has fearlessly challenged fashion conventions, like the time she rocked hot pants at the Academy Awards. "I would feel worse not doing it," she expressed. "I would feel more scared being tamed."
Promoting the provocative sci-fi/horror film directed by David Cronenberg, Stewart and Seydoux share the screen with actor Viggo Mortensen, who portrays the film's central character. Mortensen brings to life Saul Tenser, a celebrity performance artist attempting to showcase the transformation of his organs in the name of art. Meanwhile, a mysterious group seeks to exploit Tenser's fame to shed light on the next phase of human evolution.
Stewart emphasized that the film goes beyond mere gore, shedding light on deeper themes. She explained, "People associate David with body horror and a critical perspective on our world. But desire and sensuality are always present; there's always a reason why he confronts fear." Stewart further praised Cronenberg's artistic journey, stating, "In this movie, it feels like a testament to his entire life. He has given so much in every film he has ever made."
By combining their distinct fashion choices with their undeniable talent, Kristen Stewart and Léa Seydoux undoubtedly stole the spotlight at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival. Their impeccable style and compelling performances are sure to leave a lasting impression on both the fashion and film industries.
