Kristen Stewart graced the Met Gala with her presence, and she went for a very feminine look. The actress paired a Chanel pink floral blouse with white pants from the fashion house on the red carpet. She had her blonde hair styled in a bouncy ponytail, evoking retro Barbie vibes. She posed solo as she entered the venue.
Stewart spoke to InStyle last October about her journey dating in the spotlight and coming out as queer. The Spencer star is now in a serious relationship with screenwriter Dylan Meyer.
“The first time I ever dated a girl, I was immediately being asked if I was a lesbian,” she recalled. “And it’s like, ‘God, I’m 21 years old.’ I felt like maybe there were things that have hurt people I’ve been with. Not because I felt ashamed of being openly gay but because I didn’t like giving myself to the public, in a way. It felt like such thievery. This was a period of time when I was sort of cagey. Even in my previous relationships, which were straight, we did everything we could to not be photographed doing things—things that would become not ours. So I think the added pressure of representing a group of people, of representing queerness, wasn’t something I understood then. Only now can I see it. Retrospectively, I can tell you I have experience with this story. But back then I would have been like, ‘No, I’m fine. My parents are fine with it. Everything’s fine.’ That’s bullshit. It’s been hard. It’s been weird. It’s that way for everyone.”
