In 2018, Kristen Stewart stole the Cannes Film Festival spotlight when she kicked off her Christian Louboutin heels in the middle of the red carpet. Women were required by the Cannes dress code to wear heels back then, and her act of protest was enough to—finally!—allow for elegant flats in the following years. Now, Stewart has returned to La Croisette with a seemingly forbidden fabric at the forefront of her outfit.
On Friday, May 16, Stewart attended the fourth day of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival to promote her upcoming movie The Chronology of Water, a biographical romantic drama that marks her directorial debut.
