This Is How Kristen Makes Her T-Shirts Look Perfect (It Involves Scissors)
Kristen Stewart might be a Chanel girl, but her tweeds and pearls won't stop her from wearing her "scruffy" staples such as white T-shirts and distressed denim. At the Chanel Metiers D'Arts show in Hamburg this week, Kristen wore Chanel in her own way, pairing the white tweed cropped trousers and black silk blazer with a cropped white tank top and her signature silver stacked chain necklaces. Kristen is a pro at dressing up white tees, and her stylist Tara Swennen explained to me back in 2016 for an interview for The Telegraph exactly how she makes white T-shirts more "Kristen."
For a photocall at the Cannes Film Festival, K.Stew wore a tweed pencil skirt with a white Chanel T-shirt that the pair customised. "We cut it that morning," Swennen told me back in 2016. "I would easily say about seven or eight inches. It always makes me cringe a little bit, like is Karl going to come kill me at some point? But it's a T-shirt. It wasn't that bad. We had a sweater option, and it wasn't right with the weather, so we just decided to slash a shirt. It's very 'Kristen.'" It looks like Tara and Kristen are still up to their T-shirt slashing antics, as her tee this week had a similar distressed look. Keep scrolling to see how Kristen wears her customised white T-shirts.
