Here are some photos of Kristen Stewart in Cannes over the weekend. Do you see who is beside her? That’s her ex-girlfriend Alicia Cargile. Alicia got an invite to Cannes, and Alicia walked the carpet (for a moment) with Kristen, at the premiere of American Honey. It was widely believed that Kristen and Alicia broke up months ago, likely late last year. And there might have been some overlap between the end of Kristen’s thing with Alicia and the start of her thing with Soko. Whatever happened between K-Stew and Soko (drama, unwashed hair, social media tantrums), it’s over now and Kristen wants people to know that she’s back with Alicia. Okay, noted! Kristen’s ensemble here is Chanel – I actually like that top, even though I’m sure it costs a thousand dollars and I could find a $5 version at Target.
Meanwhile, Kristen has been saying words for days. She’s successfully managed to avoid saying anything notable about Woody Allen while at Cannes, but Kristen has talked about sexism and more. Some assorted quotes:
Why she bleached her hair: “I just did like five movies over a two-year period, and I think it’s a very good decision for me right now to stop acting in movies for just a moment, and I’ve never really done that, I’ve never changed my appearance. I’ve always really stayed neutral since I was like 10 years old, so I was like, ‘I’m gonna direct a short, and I’m gonna f–k up my hair.’”
The Cannes high-heels policy: “Things have to change immediately. It has become really obvious that if [a man and I] were walking the red carpet together and someone stopped me and said, ‘Excuse me, young lady, you’re not wearing heels. You cannot come in.’ Then [I’m going to say], ‘Neither is my friend. Does he have to wear heels?’ It can work both ways. It’s just like you simply cannot ask me to do something that you are not asking him. I get the black-tie thing but you should be able to do either version—flats or heels.”
How Twilight affected her: “I got really exceedingly famous at 17, and at 17 you don’t really know how to interact with more than a couple of people. You’re trying to figure it out. Who are you? What do I seem like? Can I affect that? Should I think about that? So then when it’s thrust at you and that conversation is owned by the masses and not just you or the closest people to you it kickstarts this weird thought process that is really unnatural…[I] just really shut down. I was so guarded. And that really doesn’t provide a fully- lived life. There are ways to interact with media and there are ways to interact with the public and, beyond that, just human beings. Because those are all very different things.”

How quickly she forgets that she did make major hair news when she chopped off her long Bella hair to play Joan Jett. That was MAJOR hair news at the time, and little Twihards were devastated that she cut her hair, because obviously Sparkles didn’t like girls with short hair, right? As I’ve said, I’m fine with current haircut and I’m fine with the bleach job. I just want her to figure out some better way to style her current hair, because this current look is not great.
