Kristen Stewart Proves the Jimmy Choo “Minny” Is the Ultimate Red Carpet Power Heel

When Kristen Stewart premiered the biographical drama Spencer at the Venice Film Festival in September 2021, she didn’t just earn critical acclaim for her portrayal of Princess Diana—she kicked off a masterclass in high-fashion red carpet styling.

The film follows a pivotal three-day Christmas holiday at the Sandringham estate in 1991, capturing the moments leading to Diana’s separation from Prince Charles.

For the movie’s headline gala at the 65th BFI London Film Festival in October 2021, Stewart transitioned from her gritty onscreen role back to her status as a global style icon.

Showcasing her svelte frame, the long-time Chanel muse naturally wore a gray gown from the fashion house’s Fall 2018 Haute Couture collection.

The strapless dress featured layers of stitched light-catching iridescent sequins and crystal beads, and a semi-sheer skirt that fell to her ankles.

Allowing her form-fitting outfit to stand out, the Twilight star skipped elaborate jewelry, choosing instead to accessorize with statement rings from Chanel and Jillian Dempsey.

She also put her impressive tattoo collection on full display, adding some tough-chic edge to the feminine look. Teresa Palmer’s look-alike continued the glamour with heavy, smoky eyeshadow, pink lipstick, and strawberry-blonde tresses styled in tousled beach waves.

Jimmy Choo “Minny” Sandals: The Minimalist Finish to Kristen Stewart’s Chanel Look

If you love how the barely-there Jimmy Choo “Minny” sandal lets the outfit do the talking, Stewart is in strong red-carpet company—Emma Stone used the minimalist straps to balance a vibrant Gucci floral moment, Diane Kruger relied on the silhouette to anchor sculptural statement dressing, and Olivia Munn leaned on metallic Minnys to sharpen a heavily embellished mini.

The style also reads effortlessly with modern glamour—see Nicole Kidman at TIFF, Chrissy Teigen in plush velvet, and Chanel Iman proving just how timeless the “Minny” can be.

Kristen Stewart on Playing Princess Diana

While she received praise for her role in Spencer, Kristen Stewart recently revealed that she suffered from TMJ because she was really nervous about portraying Princess Diana.

“I had TMJ [temporomandibular joint] to the point where I was like, completely locked up. I was like, ‘Huh, I guess I’m really nervous,’ I was really tripping out until we started,” Kristen told the BBC.

The film director, Pablo Larraín, told her to “relax and trust the process” and rely on her extensive preparation.

Admitting she “didn’t grow up following the sort of saga” about the Royal family, Kristen said: “I didn’t have the most developed or defined relationship with the Royal Family in general.”

“I read everything, I wanted every photo… watched all the interviews that I could get my hands on. I watched The Crown, I watched every iteration of interpretation. I just tried to absorb her in an emotional and general way, and then trust the process, and expect her to show up.”

Feeling the pressure and weight of responsibility in portraying a well-known public figure, Kristen added, “I felt I wanted to protect her. I had to just not focus on other people’s idea of her and really focus on my own. And that in itself was just so distinct and specific to me.”

“I think to do her justice is to allow her to be impulsive. Anything I watched her in, whether it was an interview or even in a still photograph, it always feels unpredictable,” she shared.

“And it’s because she has this vulnerability and this raw emotion that she cannot conceal. There’s no way to do a perfect impression of that. You have to feel it, and it has to be yours. So I think I just had to relax.”

Kristen Stewart’s Fearless Shoe Language, From Red Carpet to Off-Duty

Whether she’s grounding couture with minimalist sandals or sharpening a dramatic silhouette with statement boots, Kristen Stewart’s style consistently proves that footwear is never an afterthought.

Across premieres, festivals, and off-duty appearances, her shoe choices reveal a clear point of view—confident, intentional, and often quietly subversive. From classic pumps to combat boots, her evolving fashion story is best understood through the shoes that anchor each look.
