Kristen Stewart Seriously Knows How to Rock a Suit
Channel your inner Kristen in a pantsuit this fall.
Kristen Stewart has found her style stride over the past few years. We’ve seen the star go from her Twilight era to full-on lead actor status, doing everything from action comedies like the Charlie’s Angels reboot to romcoms like Happiest Season, and, of course, the upcoming Princess Diana biopic, Spencer.
Kristen’s style has changed along with the roles she has chosen, too; the actor is a big fan of trousers and pantsuits, and she rocks them on the red carpet with panache and sophistication, reminiscent of legendary Hollywood stars Katharine Hepburn and Marlene Dietrich. She beautifully blurs a variety of elements in her personal style, choosing simple suits with unexpected details like chains or sequins, often rocking them sans a shirt or bra underneath but always pairing them with her cropped, slicked-back hair and go-to smoky eyes. She loves to go full on Chanel in its iconic tweeds and boucle fabrics; Chanel is one of Kristen’s favorite clothing lines, and she brings a modern vibe to the classic fashion house’s timeless jackets and suits. Everything she wears is edgy and elegant at the same time, and that tomboyish glamour has become Kristen’s signature look.
We’ve rounded up some of her best suit moments ever, so find your inspiration within and channel your inner Kristen in a pantsuit this fall.

Kristen went monochromatic with her burgundy suit and matching maroon lip and eyeshadow. We love the unexpected white cuffs of the suit jacket and the fact that she only buttoned the top button.

Kristen’s navy suit was anything but basic, embellished with an intricate rope detailing on the shoulders and thigh. It’s a little naughty and a little nautical, all at the same time.
