Flaunt Magazine



I started this draft as soon as pictures came out knowing I'd be snowed down with work the next 4 weeks. My general opinion on this shoot is that it is hot but not different. The pictures are stunning I mean Kristen has one of the most photogenic faces I have ever seen. She has stunning skin and features; is there a bad picture of her out there? I don't think so. I don't know if anyone else thought this but when I saw pictures i thought 'wow she is really petite' we've always known Kristen was slim but she is looking trim here.

Looking through pictures so far she really has the fierce attitude going down. I liked the styling of the shoot but i didn't love it. Items such as the Christian Louboutin and Chanel boots I love and I think they really make this shoot but I wasn't liking the Valentino leather trousers or the bolero on the cover. These just aren't items I would personally put together but I like the overall 'look' the stylist is going for. Lastly before we get started I just wanted to say I wasn't happy with the hair....I would have liked it slicker. The advantage of styling Kristen is she can wear so many styles and carry it off and her attitude is what makes this entire shoot fierce.


Lets start with the magazine cover. Here Kristen is wearing Christian Louboutin Mesh Madame Tall Boot, can we just stop and admire the fierceness (I don't even think that is a word). These boots were definitely one of my favourite items from the entire shoot, the red sole gets me every time. Her trousers are from the Gucci spring 2010 ready to wear collection. Personally I love that they are high-waisted because its not a style we get to see on Kristen often. I scratched my head over the bolero, me and 'what Kristen wore' over at twitter were throwing designers back and forward trying to figure this one out. Coolspotters.com spotted this as a Christian Lacroix lace bolero. Christian Lacroix went bust in 2009 so I'm guessing this must be from an older collection or such. There was something about this bolero I didn't like and I think it is the frills on the sleeves, whilst I love the open front I think the lace frill overload was too much for the cuffs.

In this look Kristen wears a Temperley London Lattice Jersey Mini Dress. Its strange she should wear this, I literally was looking at the longer sleeved version of this over at net-a-porter (link here http://bit.ly/bCvsRI) before the pictures came out so I instantly recognized it. I've included the link to look at the collections and I think the Temperley one is worth a peek if you have time. Temperley always make stunning dresses so if you want to take a look at their other stuff here is the official website link http://bit.ly/alzKSu. Her skirt is by Stella McCartney, i do find it strange the is no default for this despite Stellas wearing it herself (the default is a from when she wore it herself). Shoes *sigh* oh these shoes are fantastic, i can not tell you how much i adore these Burberry Prorsum Leather ankle boots. The fishnet tights add a little something extra sexy to the look. This was one of my favourite looks from the photoshoot, it is dramatic and the make up and hair style compliment the lattice structure nicely. She really rocks a dress like this I'd like to see something like this during Eclipse promotion.

This next look is a different look for Kristen, it's really nice to see her in metallic colours as opposed to the darker colours used in this shoot. This uber short mini dress is by Amanda Wakeley. I was prowling through Amanda Wakeleys official site (http://bit.ly/1mYIth ) and saw this top version of the mini dress so i thought it was worth posting over here to let you have a better look at the beading detail on the mini. The bolero again like the front cover was a head scratcher for me so thank you to the lovely people over at Coolspotters for identifying it as a Bebe Pleated Bolero. Can I say that i absolutely adore this bolero and the texture on really complimented the contour beading on the mini dress.

This look actually was one of the first looks we saw from this shoot online I'm not sure the leather trousers and shoes compliment the jacket but that's just my opinion. The trousers are from the Valentino spring/summer 2010 collection and have been slightly modified (lack of bows ect) for the shoot. Kristen wears Burberry Prorsum Twisted Band Platform Sandals in black. I think these shoes are probably one of the most known pair of shoes out there, celebrities everywhere have worn them. The top Kristen is wearing is by Rachael Cassar, I absolutely adore it. What I truly appreciate about this top is how it is see through and showing skin yet still classy and sexy. For those of you unaware Rachael Cassar is an eco-fashion couture collection so her work is really worth taking a look at (official website http://bit.ly/b6ZtR6). When I saw this jacket it really reminded me of the grafitti beading on Kristen's L.A New Moon premiere gown. This jacket is a from the Monique Lhuillier Spring 2010 collection but was not shown on the runway unfortunately.

This dress is from the Ina Soltani Fall 2010 line, it hasn't even debuted online yet oh the advantages of being Kristen Stewart. I actually happen to really like the one shouldered look on our gal, it suits her. She wears Chanel Biker Boots with a silver plate, i love these boots did anyone else notice Beyonce wearing them on stage with Jay Z at Coachella? Two very different looks, i'd go for Kristen on this one.

This picture included Kristen wearing a white version of this Thomas Wylde skirt. I always love the black/white contrast especially on someone with dark hair it makes the look more dramtic. This is actually one of my favourite looks from the shoot. She wears the skirt with a Thomas Wylde Skull embellished vest. The photo also includes Kristen with a Bebe Ostrich feather vest over her lower arms. In the outtake you can see that Kristen is once again wearing the Chanel resort leather biker boots. I actually prefer this outtake picture to the one in print. I LOVE LOVE LOVE all the boleros and such in these shoots and this one is absolutely fantastic. A fabulous look all in.

Kristen at the NYC MET Ball

n


So ever since Kristen left Vancouver for NYC people have been buzzing, her attendance to the MET ball was confirmed on Saturday. The whole aura and build up of the ball has been very exciting, this is a big deal people! Marchesa were hinting they may be the ones to dress Kristen, everyone wanted her and who got her? CHANEL. Karl Lagerfeld does not dress any old Hollywood riff raff and when he declares you worthy to wear his couture line AND handpicks your dress you sure as hell do not argue.

Lets talk about the MET fashion as a whole, never have i been so disappointed by the fashion choices. This is an event where you can pull out all the stops and so many celebrities failed, in fact so much of the fashion was similar and boring. There was alot of golds/silvers/whites and lots of plain silhouettes. I wanted more colour and fashion forward designs. Thats my overall view on the red carpet i actually struggle to say anyone who stood out for me.

Now onto Kristen this is a look you will either love or hate. (psst I did predict a gothic look)

Kristen wears a Chanel long black taffeta and tulle embroidered gown. Lets look at the gown there are several things i like about it and several things i do not. Remember this is only my personal opinion, the comment box below is all for you guys.....be honest. First thing is first the top taffeta part of the dress is rockin, i love how she was different from the other celebs and went for a structured top. The bodice gave her curves which is difficult to do on a skinny girl. This is the positive now the negative. The train....... i do not like one bit. Yes i like the sheer idea, its youthful and sexy but i hate how the front stops at her feet, it doesn't do her legs justice. But i will say this, the dress stood out.....and was probably one of the only ones to do so all night plus it looked better in motion and from the back. Her hair is another matter and this may be one of the elements of this look that brings the whole outfit down. You have a girl with a tiny body so do not slick her hair back like that, it does not work. The hair would have looked better swept up or down and slightly wavy. As for the make up..........flawless.

Her shoes are Sergio Rossi in fact you will recognise them because she has worn this style of shoe several times in the last few months. What can i say? You can never go wrong with those pumps they are sky high and compliment those legs for days. Love them. Let me tell you one thing, i girlcrush hard on Chanel quilted handbags i mean i love quilting in general it goes with almost anything and is a timeless classic. Here Kristen carries a small Chanel black box quilted clutch. There's not much to say other than i love it. Her ring is also by Chanel, it is part of their fine jewellery line and is vintage.

I do like the look, it was a step in the right direction but i think the hair all in all tainted the whole look. But not a bad attempt for the fierce ones first MET ball. What do you think?

Kristen arriving in NYC



So Kristen is in NYC, she is attending a costume gala tomorrow. I have an extremely early morning Tuesday so with the time difference i'll try and have a post up when i can but it may be the night or day after. I have to agree with many people over on Twitter when it was said that Kristen is looking very slim. I said this about the Coachella pictures, if you look at her in February she has more curves and now shes very trim. I love her any way but she is looking tiny right now, take care of yourself beautiful.

That being said her skin looks stunning and flawless as always, i am totally jealous of her face. She wear jeans by Denim of virtue, you can purchase them here http://bit.ly/aqiS5w. I do love these jeans, she always manages to wear the most lush skin tight jeans alot of people could never pull off. Theres something sexy about a simple skinny jeans/tee combo. She wears her navy laceless KEDS again, like the previous post i've included a laceless and navy version since i can't get a decent default. I really love her Blackhearts Records Hoodie, i guess she got a bunch of Blackhearts merchandise when she played Joan Jett. You can purchase the hoodie here http://tiny.cc/y1wq9 for just $35. She carries her favour Nike Lair All Access backpack and wears her Mont Blanc Sunglasses. Looking beautiful as always Kristen have fun at the gala.

Why are you a fan of Kristen? Send me your opinions!


I've been toying with the idea of this since we did the 'dream outfits' post which will happen again in the summer some time i believe. I love having you guys involved as much as possible here and i think this will be a really nice way for you guys to talk about why YOU are a Kristen fan instead of me.

Basically i am asking you guys to send me a little bit about why you are a Kristen fan, how you came to be one ect ect. You can write as much as you want and include pictures if you want just send me it all in an e-mail to kstewfashion@btinternet.com and i'll post them all here on this blog. Talk about anything Kristen related you want this is YOUR opinions not mine. It'll be a nice way for you guys to see your words and opinions posted here.

Now i'll give you guys some time to do this it can be just a few sentences or paragraphs or however long you want i'll see what the response is late next week (probably around Friday). Also tell me if you want your twitter name/any other name included or if you wish to remain anonymous.

This is something i really want as many of you guys as possible to take part in because i appreciate what every single one of you has to say. Don't be scared to send me anything because i won't bite i promise everyone is very welcome here ;) thank you so much for your ridiculous amount of support/comments/tweets/e-mails i know i am always saying thanks but i really mean it you guys are phemomenal.
