Known for her effortlessly edgy style, Kristen Stewart has long secured her status as a modern fashion icon. Back in 2022, her influence reached new heights when Chanel’s creative director, Virginie Viard, cited Kristen as the muse for the fashion house’s Spring 2023 collection.
“Of the people around me, she is the closest to Gabrielle Chanel—at least, to my idea of her,” Viard shared in her show notes. “She understands Chanel, its clothes.”
Stewart’s ongoing partnership with Chanel has since solidified her as a defining figure in luxury fashion, blending rebellious energy with classic Parisian elegance.

Kristen Stewart Channels Her Inner Muse in Signature Chanel Look
Kristen’s outfit choice for the Chanel show epitomized edginess. She chose a sports-inspired Chanel logo top in black, featuring narrow vertical white stripes and embellished with the Chanel logo.
Stewart’s Chanel ensemble wasn’t just a fashion choice—it was a reflection of her long-standing role as one of the brand’s most iconic muses.
She paired her sporty striped logo top with a black-and-white Chanel bouclé mini skirt, complete with contrasting black ribbon trim that added a touch of femininity to the look. On her feet, she wore black calfskin lace-up combat boots from Chanel, grounding the outfit with a bold, rebellious edge.
