Kristen Stewart Debuts Barbie-Core Hair and Directorial Vision at Cannes

Kristen Stewart made a head-turning return to the Cannes Film Festival, celebrating her directorial debut with The Chronology of Water by embracing a bold new aesthetic that’s pure summer inspiration.

Stewart, 35, arrived at her May 16 photocall in signature fearless fashion. Her freshly dyed blonde hair, tipped in vibrant hot pink, was styled in a carefree high bun with tousled bangs — a striking departure from the darker roots she sported just months prior. Her outfit? A dreamy pink tweed Chanel short suit with a flowing tulle skirt, pastel heels, and a cheeky unbuttoned cardigan that pushed back against Cannes’ newly tightened dress code.

The Twilight alum’s latest red carpet appearance also marks her first major outing since tying the knot with longtime partner Dylan Meyer. The couple wed in an intimate April 20 ceremony at Casita Del Campo in Los Angeles, with 170 guests celebrating late into the night.

Known for defying tradition, Stewart continues to use her platform to blend high fashion with rebellious charm — whether it’s ditching heels mid-premiere or channeling Barbie-core energy while debuting a passion project six years in the making. With The Chronology of Water, Stewart is commanding the spotlight — on her own terms.
