Kristen Stewart Returns to Cannes With Directorial Debut

Kristen Stewart made her first Cannes appearance since 2022 at the 2025 festival, where she premiered her directorial debut, The Chronology of Water, adapted from Lidia Yuknavitch’s memoir. Stewart debuted a pink dip-dyed hairstyle, created by stylist Adir Abergel, and wore a blush pink Chanel ensemble that subtly challenged the festival's updated dress code. Her look included a cardigan, shorts, sheer skirt overlay, pink heels, and a diamond choker, showcasing her reputation for bold style choices. The film, which explores themes of trauma, grief, and self-reclamation, was first announced in 2018 and developed with co-writer Andy Mingo. Stewart’s Cannes milestone follows her recent wedding to Dylan Meyer, adding personal significance to the event. The premiere marks a period of both professional and personal transformation for Stewart.
