Kristen Stewart celebrated a milestone in her career at the 2025 Deauville American Film Festival, showcasing her directorial debut, The Chronology of Water, while turning heads with three distinct Chanel ensembles. The romantic biographical drama, adapted from Lidia Yuknavitch’s memoir, premiered to rave reviews earlier this year at Cannes, earning Stewart a six-and-a-half-minute standing ovation. At Deauville, the film also won the “Prix de la Révélation”, marking the actress’s first award as a director.
A Trio of Chanel Statements
For the festival’s casual photo call, Stewart wore a white tweed Chanel set, featuring a cropped jacket with pastel embellishments and chunky reflective buttons, paired with a high-waisted pleated skirt and black platform heels. The look merged classic French elegance with Stewart’s signature edgy style.
For the red-carpet premiere, she switched to a black sheer Chanel ensemble, complete with sequin detailing, pearl buttons, and a coordinated miniskirt and blouse. The outfit glimmered under the lights, highlighting Stewart’s ability to balance sophistication and boldness effortlessly.
Finally, at the closing ceremony, Stewart opted for another black monochrome look featuring tulle accents cascading from her sleeves and shorts, crafted from monogram fabric and adorned with bows. Styled with an elegant updo, the ensemble perfectly complemented the award she proudly carried that evening.
A Night to Celebrate
The 2025 Deauville American Film Festival marked both a professional and stylistic triumph for Stewart. By pairing her award-winning work with multiple Chanel looks, she highlighted her dual talents as a filmmaker and fashion icon. Each outfit reflected a different facet of her personality — playful, glamorous, and avant-garde — capturing the attention of festival-goers and photographers alike.
Stewart’s standout appearances reinforced her status as a Chanel ambassador and showcased her fearless approach to fashion, perfectly matching the boldness and creativity that define her work behind the camera.
