In the realm of high fashion, when Chanel extends an invitation, luminaries like Kristen Stewart promptly take their front-row seats. Stewart, who shared a long-standing muse relationship with the late fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld, graced the Chanel Metiers D’Art Show in Manchester, England, with a striking new hairstyle that effortlessly blends chic with grunge.
Known for her fashion-forward choices, Stewart, who has previously rocked platinum blonde and recently surprised fans with a mullet, now presents what can only be described as her “rusted Chanel hair.” Seated front and center at the event, the brunette actor showcased a wolf cut adorned with casual bangs. What sets this look apart is the soft magenta-red hues that delicately accentuate her bangs and layers, seamlessly harmonizing with her natural brunette locks.
The mastermind behind Stewart’s avant-garde transformation is her trusted hairstylist, Adir Abergel, who shared an insightful glimpse on Instagram. Abergel divulged that the inspiration behind this distinctive hair color pays homage to the city of Manchester itself.
Abergel explained, “We mimicked the historical layers of the city in Kristen’s hair. Manchester, where the Chanel show took place, is the birthplace of industrialization, road salt, and Joy Division, and the rusty orange overlays the ribbons of darkness. It just felt literal and symbolic.”
This innovative hair color, a tribute to the industrial legacy of Manchester, serves as a punky yet elegant contrast to Stewart’s Chanel ensemble in black-and-white. Kristen Stewart continues to push boundaries not only in the realm of fashion but also with her ever-evolving hairstyles, making waves and setting trends with each appearance.
