Kristen Stewart wasted no time in bringing a total trend into the new year. On Monday, the Twilight star made a bold statement in New York City, wearing a new floor-length see-through sequined skirt that revealed her black underwear underneath. The actress and filmmaker wore the look before appearing on Late Night with Seth Meyers to promote her directorial debut, The Chronology of Water.
Stewart put an edgy twist on the transparent skirt, pairing it with a cropped white reset tank top, a black zip-up jacket with red plaid lining, and chunky black platform ankle boots from Casady. She completed her outfit with dark sunglasses and pulled her hair back into a casual updo.
The appearance is part of Stewart’s busy press schedule as The Chronology of Water approaches its January 9 wide release date following a limited release in New York and LA last month. The film, based on Lidia Yuknavitch’s memoir of the same name, stars Imogen Poots, Thora Birch, Susannah Flood and Tom Sturridge.
Stewart spoke about the project and his love for directing in an interview with Seth Meyers. “I’ve been working on this my whole life. I’ve wanted to do this since I was 9 years old,” she said. She went on to explain how reading Yuknavitch’s novel influenced her approach to directing. “Honestly, reading these 40 pages, I had an experience filled with these striking images. It felt very physical and also very personal, because this is a choose-your-own-adventure text,” she explained. “It’s a collection of different experiences, and I think each person will probably choose different experiences to hold in mind.”
Stewart recently made headlines for commenting on a potential return to the Twilight Universe, this time behind the camera. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight at Variety’s “10 Directors to Watch” event on January 4, she said she would be open to directing a reboot of the series that launched her career.
“I love, you know, I love what Katherine (Hardwick) has done, I love what Chris (Weitz) has done, I love what all the directors have done in their movies,” Stewart said. Looking back on the original film, she added, “It felt very personal, weird, and squirrelly.” She concluded, “Imagine if we had a huge budget and so much love and support. I don’t know, but I’d love to readapt it. Yeah, of course I’d remake it. I’ll do it. I’m all in!”
