Okay so the other day I wanted to chill with some fashion inspo, right? Scrolling through celebrity looks when it hit me – nobody does messy-hot-chic like Kristen Stewart at awards shows. Figured I’d find her top red carpet moments cause honestly, my own wardrobe needs that kind of energy. Grabbed my ancient laptop where the fan sounds like a jet engine, cracked open seven browser tabs, and dove into Google images.

The Deep-Dive Phase
First I just searched “Kristen Stewart red carpet” without dates. Big mistake. Got flooded with pics from every premiere since Twilight days. Spent like an hour sorting through basic black dresses until I remembered that blue Chanel moment someone tweeted about last year. Had to restart with specific years – 2022, 2021, 2018 – better. Started screenshotting everything that made me go “whoa”. My dog totally judged me when I gasped at that sheer sequin dress.
Narrowing It Down
Ended up with 22 screenshots plastered all over my desktop. Realized I needed rules:
- Rule 1: No sitting down poses – gotta see the whole fit
- Rule 2: Bonus points if she’s kicking off heels (iconic)
- Rule 3: Must have caused internet meltdown

Almost kept 10 but that’s cheating. Forced myself to axe half by doing a Twitter test – re-searched each look to see which ones still got fan art posted weekly. My finger hovered over the delete button like choosing which cupcake to throw away.
The Bloodbath
This part sucked. That lavender pantsuit? Gone. The sparkly jumpsuit with no bra? Sacrificed. Felt like betraying a friend. Finally settled on five by imagining my sister scrolling – which looks would make her stop mid-chew? Kept getting distracted by comments roasting her messy bun phases. Hilarious how people rage-tweeted about her showing up barefoot at Cannes like she kicked their grandma.
Finalizing The List
Wrote each moment on sticky notes and physically rearranged them on my fridge. My ranking criteria got weirdly specific:
- Factor A: Designer drama (that one time she ripped her skirt? Legendary)
- Factor B: Paparazzi reaction shots (photographers losing their minds = automatic win)
- Factor C: How much I’d embarrass myself trying to copy it

Number one spot went to the 2020 Chanel glitter explosion dress. Period. Still kinda want to swap positions 3 and 4 though. Might’ve spent 20 minutes staring at the sequin short-suit combo debating if it deserved higher. Whatever, it’s on the list.
Aftermath
Posted it before I chickened out. Phone instantly blew up with friends texting “HOW was the metallic tux not top 3?!” and someone’s aunt commenting about her hating heels. My takeaway? Dude just wears what makes her comfy and accidentally makes fashion history. Might actually buy cheap silver boots tomorrow because why not. Maybe it’s not that deep, but watching her stop caring and suddenly look fire kinda makes me wanna burn my uncomfortable heels too.
