Kristen Stewart has been working on her first script and teased a bit of her writing prowess on the Chanel show. The show began with a short film starring Stewart as herself, with voiceover lines, including: “It’s important to burn the best of yesterday, every day, so you can start anew.”
“I wrote them,” Stewart said after the show. “I am a much better writer than a sincere speaker. I mean, at least I can get close to expressing myself when I have a minute alone.”
The actress said it reflects her philosophy of constantly challenging herself, and that’s in line with today’s cultural climate.
“Now we can all transform daily and evolve, and I think it’s really important, not necessarily burn it down, but never feel like you’ve landed or be so proud of a fixed notion because every day the world changes,” he said.
The film, directed by Inez and Vinoodh, is a bit of a game of paparazzi and living life in the spotlight, as photographers stalk Stewart as she leaves a restaurant. In it, he also says that the world is “highly pressed” and moving so fast that it gives him “whiplash.”
“You’re not always going to be at the forefront of change in progress, because you get old,” the 32-year-old said. He said that while it’s hard to define yourself, particularly in the age of social media and ever-changing customs, if you don’t do it yourself, someone else will. “And that is painful. Those kinds of lives ruin,” he said of tabloid culture.
The former child star reflected on growing up in the 2000s, when the media treated young stars harshly and expected hyper-femininity. “It was a really difficult time for women, so judgmental and incredibly rigid in terms of what we were allowed to be. She now she feels incredibly free.” She said that while she grew up on camera at the time, she has never had social media, which gives her the ability to distance herself from the buzz that constantly swirls around her.
To that end, the star attended the show with fiancé Dylan Meyer and rocked a new short pixie mullet.
“When I was little, people said, ‘Oh, you look like a boy.’ No one would say that anymore… we are opening words in a certain way that feels like a release to me,” he added.
Gracie Abrams, fresh off a tour with Olivia Rodrigo and preparing to drop her next single on Friday, reflected on Stewart’s film as a 23-year-old budding pop star.
“Life whips me 100 percent. I thought that was so true,” she said. “I’m trying to be present as much as possible right now. For an anxious person, it takes a lot of practice, but I have improved recently and it has improved my quality of life tenfold.”
She said that mediation, therapy and “writing music is my number one tool to keep me sane.” She listens to Nina Simone and Joni Mitchell as inspirations. “As a writer, I’m lucky to live in a time where women are just as vocal as we are, so I try to stay quiet and listen to other people’s voices.”
His new single “Difficult” was co-written with his friend Aaron Dessner and is a bit of a change in his sound and approach based on a lot of self-reflection. “This song is more introspective about my relationship with myself, less about my relationship with other people.”
Abrams will celebrate the release in Paris before returning to Los Angeles to continue work on a new album due out next year.

A very tired Jennie, fresh from global promotions for Blackpink’s latest album, was huddled on a white sofa backstage and admitted to getting a bit jet-lagged on a 36-hour trip to Paris. The pop star, who has her first acting role in the upcoming HBO series “The Idol,” said she was “mesmerized” by the movie screen that surrounded the room.
Stewart’s film was overlaid with scenes from Alain Resnais’s “Last Year in Marienbad,” projected life-size on a screen that wrapped around the runway.
“Kristen was sitting next to me, so it felt like a more unreal situation to me,” she said of her place in the front row next to the star.
She wore a comfortable Chanel minidress and wrapped in a long sweater. So, does she like to be more elegant or relaxed in her personal style? “I like to be versatile, but above all relaxed because I’m tired.”
“I think it would be too difficult for everyone to fly … but I’m always lucky to be in Paris,” she said of her hectic travel schedule. “Fashion week is about inspirations for me. I try to take in all the angles of my eyes as much as I can, because what I do at home doesn’t focus on one thing. It’s about creating an image that goes with the song and what I wear, everything has to harmonize”. That includes a lot of color and layering, she said.
The film also showed Stewart riding the Parisian metro.
“The movie was really beautiful to see how someone really well dressed can be worn on the subway. He was fine with the ‘sexy’ theme, it means moving on, but I wouldn’t dare,” actress Rebecca Marder joked about replaying Stewart’s scene on the train in real life. “But it was a really classy moment.”
Marder has just finished “Madeleine,” co-starring Isabelle Huppert, for director Francois Ozon. He plays a lawyer in the comedy set in the 1930s. “He goes very fast and as an actor you never get bored, so I was impressed with how he directs him like a theater director. You never stop acting, so you really are in the era.”

Reading the room, actress Jenna Coleman said she found the film’s transformative message “liberating and powerful.”
He just finished the “Wilderness” series, which was partly filmed in the Grand Canyon. She said the revenge-seeking character “has a very different tone to me,” which might surprise some fans of the period drama “Victory.”
“You always retain a core, but what’s so interesting is that you often fight between, you know, play a version of a certain part, and then people often want you to be just that person,” he said of living in public. eye. “I think that’s often one of the challenges. So it’s a really powerful message to do that from the inside out.”
