Kristen Stewart Pairs Pink Hair With a Sheer Chanel Look at the Cannes Film Festival

Kristen Stewart is celebrating a major milestone today: the Cannes Film Festival premiere of her directorial debut, The Chronology of Water. The big day called for an equally big hair change, as the star debuted pink dyed tips at the photo-call for her project.

Stewart matched her fall 2025 Chanel outfit to her newly rose locks, wearing a light-pink tweed set with a sheer maxi skirt. The star wore her short-sleeve blazer open and finished the look off with pale-pink heels. She posed alongside the film’s star, Imogen Poots, who contrasted her in a black tweed minidress and blazer from Chanel’s spring 2025 couture collection.

Stewart spoke to The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published yesterday about how her desire to direct started when she was a child star.

“I think I asked a couple of actors on one of my very early projects [about] the youngest director they could stomach working with,” she said. “And I was sat down by most of them and asked, ‘Why are you even asking us that question?’

“I had to wait until right now for this to be actualized, because there are portals that set you free. Texts or songs or conversations that give you ways into figuring out how you want to wield your voice. And even though I always knew that I was waiting for that trigger, I hadn’t found it yet until [Lidia Yuknavitch’s 2011 memoir The Chronology of Water]. This was eight years ago. So it’s been a slow and laborious birth, but I’ve wanted to direct movies as long as I have been an actor, and it’s been a multitiered development. But for some reason, psychotically, I’ve wanted to do it forever, because I do think the exchange between an actor and a director is a bridge between two very different positions. You actually have to end up doing the same thing together to hold this reciprocal energy in this emotional space and make something feel congruent. So I was like, ‘Oh, I’m half of you.’ And I feel like my actors are half of me, and I just wanted to do both. I wanted to get onto the other side. I think I was, like, 9 years old, but then I figured out how to actually fucking do it. And now I’m 35.”
