Red Carpet Obsession: Kristen Stewart

I'm in love with this Zuhair Murad beaded body suit! I think it is the epitome of edgy, androgynous fashion. The dainty lace applique gives the perfect feminine flare, while the masculine shape of a pant suit makes for a wonderful juxtaposition. While on the latest round of press tours for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn part 2 Kristen has looked effortlessly glamourous and comfortable in her own skin. 

While I am not in love with this gown, I have to commend Miss Stewart for taking a risk, especially considering the media scrutiny she has been under in the past several months. This Zuhair Murad corset bodice dress is much more structured, not to mention revealing, compared to what we are used to seeing Kristen in. The color is a little drab, I would have loved to have seen her in something more outstanding, oxblood or navy would be stunning on her skin. However, this color does not wash her out, but rather makes her soft, pale skin radiate and glow. 

It's Louis Vuitton, need I say more. I thought this little black and white check romper was the perfect, sassy little number for Kristen. It was unstructured but did not swallow her petite figure and of course showed off those gorgeous gams of hers. The neutral color gave this piece a hint of timelessness, while the pocket details and faux zipper seam lent themselves to modernity. My only criticism of this outfit are the shoes. Ordinarily I'm a huge Brian Atwood fan, but I think these strappy, S&M-inspired pointed heels are too harsh against the softness of the rest of the outfit. 

Many people were divided on this black and white Balenciaga crop top and pant suit duo. I say BRAVO! I think this whole look is so chic. Kristen looks comfortable, confident and sexy. I love that she decided to take a risk with something unconventional. Kristen has a killer body and there is no reason that she should feel shy about showing it. I think that her smoking make up, crimson lip and slicked back hair pulls the whole look together.


Va Va Voom! Kristen turned it up a notch in this gold, beaded Elie Saab ensemble. Channeling Angelina Jolie with that high slit only further accentuated her best feature. There is something about this dress that also gives Kristen the illusion of a curvier womanly figure than the tomboy look we're used to seeing her in. 

Whoever says that Kristen Stewart doesn't care about fashion obviously hasn't seen her in this chartreuse mini by Dior. Chartreuse has been a huge trend on the red carpet this year and Kristen is the latest celeb to hop on board. This color is hard to pull off for many people but it looks stunning against her skin. I would have liked to have seen her do something a little edgier with her hair and make up to pull the whole thing together, however. 


I decided to save my favorite for last. This look is casual but elegant, sexy but demure, easy, effortless and the envy of my fashion eye. Pairing a simple grey tank and open white button up with A.L.C black pants and Jimmy Choo shoes, Kristen looks divine. This to me is her style all summed up. It screams "I just rolled out of bed, threw on my boyfriends clothes, and look hot". I also think that her make up and hair looks better than ever here.
