Tara Swennen on Styling Kristen Stewart for the Met Gala and Spencer Press Tour
I also want to ask about the Met Gala because I loved it so much. I felt like it was also playful in a way that just gave me so much
Well obviously, we get the theme pretty far out. And on this one, when I spoke to the Chanel team about it, I thought that it could be cool to go back into their Paris-Dallas collection, which happened I believe in 2014. So we took a look at some of those archive pieces, had some of those flown in. But in the end, we really, really loved the idea of the rockabilly vibe, especially for her.
Kristen has never been one to really wear the exuberant gown to the Met Ball. The past couple years, we've done pants. She's done cocktail. She's done a jumpsuit. So for me, it's nice, because I know that she's just going to go feeling her best in whatever she wants, but it doesn't need to bring all that drama. So we were able to figure out a fun concept that really fit her and her vibe, which was that. And of course, so much of it was dependent on the glam.
