RUNAWAY FASHIONISTA

Posted Mar 01 2010 @ 10:35 PM

One would think a fashion show would be the last place uber shy Kristen Stewart would set foot, but the Twilight star was giving showing off her trademark moody poses for the paps at the Burberry Prorsum runway show during London Fashion Week on February 23. The front row was quite a sight at the Fall 2010 show, with Mary-Kate Olsen, Kate Hudson, Kristen and Claire Danes all seated together taking in the new collection. To make an appearance amongst such notorious fashionistas, I suspect Kristen had a little styling help, arriving in a Burberry Prorsum Spring 2010 ensemble complete with a knit top (like Whitney Kros' Rozell Glimmer Sweater in Gold) tucked into one of Burberry's trademark knot mini skirts (get the look at a much lower price with Walter's Foil Skirt in Gunmetal) and a long black trench (lighten up in Bailey 44's Coller Coat in Heather Grey). The trench and its complementary black pumps (try Samanta's Viv Peep in Brown as an alternative) are a bit heavy for such soft pieces playing on texture, but I'll let it slide as it's refreshing to see Kristen actually trying to break out of character for once. She might not be able to shake those sullen facial expressions but she sure can act! K's newest film, The Runaways, is set to be released in theatres next Friday, which tells the story of Joan Jett and Cherie Currie's rise to girl band fame. It's not easy to portray a living rock legend, but Joan chatted with MTV about how proud she is of Kristen's work: “I found us to be really, scarily similar, just in our physicality, the way we move through space. The thing that came through to me was that it was important to her to capture it. She really wanted to nail it [the role].”
