Blake Lively Joins Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg in Café Society

The 2016 American romantic comedy-drama Café Society, directed by Woody Allen, marked the first time Kristen Stewart auditioned for a role since her breakout in Twilight (2008).

Cast alongside Jesse Eisenberg and Blake Lively, Stewart helped bring the glamorous, old-Hollywood world of 1930s New York and Los Angeles to life on screen.

Steve Carell ultimately joined the cast of Café Society alongside Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart, and Blake Lively. For Eisenberg and Stewart, it marked their third collaboration after Adventureland (2009) and American Ultra (2015).

Lively portrayed Veronica Hayes, a sophisticated socialite who becomes romantically linked to Eisenberg’s character. Her performance was well-received by critics, with many noting how she brought warmth and elegance to the film’s glamorous 1930s setting.

Kristen Stewart’s Chanel Chic and Louboutin Edge at the Café Society Photocall

At the Café Society photocall, Kristen Stewart delivered her signature cool-girl edge in a crisp white cropped pocket tee and a sleek knit pencil skirt from Chanel’s Spring 2016 collection. The minimalist set was anything but plain, thanks to her choice of statement accessories and bold shoes.

On her feet, Stewart added personality with Christian Louboutin Pigalle Follies “Carrare” pumps, a printed style that lent a playful twist to the otherwise monochrome palette. Layered Foundrae 14K gold and diamond pendants, a Jillian Dempsey Punk Lock necklace, and a Chanel Coco Crush quilted ring brought subtle sparkle.

With smoky eyes, layered jewelry, and her tousled center-parted waves, Stewart struck the perfect balance between effortless and elevated—proving once again why she’s a Chanel muse.

Despite both wearing sky-high Louboutins, the height contrast was striking—Blake Lively, standing 5 feet 8½ inches (174 cm), towered over Kristen Stewart, who measures 5 feet 3¾ (161.9 cm).

Her stunning ensemble was finished with Christian Louboutin’s “Benedetta” sandals — a glamorous high-heeled style defined by its delicate strappy construction, leg-lengthening silhouette, and the house’s signature red sole.

Often crafted in luxe satin or glossy patent leather, the “Benedetta” has become a recognizable evening staple in the designer’s lineup, perfectly matching Lively’s radiant Cannes look.
