Tara Swennen, Kristen's Stylist, Talks About Dressing Kristen for the Met Gala
From StyleCaster:
When it came time for the red carpet at last night’s Met Gala, we had a list of people we couldn’t wait to see—and Kristen Stewart was definitely one of them. The 23-year-old starlet turned up (sadly without Robert Pattinson) in a glamorous red jumpsuit by Stella McCartney, and was instantly one of the night’s standout stars.
Naturally, we had to consult her longtime stylist, Tara Swennen—who also dressed Teresa Palmer in Diane von Furstenberg for the big night—to get the full scoop. Swennen and K-Stew have worked together since the actress was 14 years old, so it’s no surprise that she has some great insight into the A-lister’s much-discussed sense of style.
Below, Swennen dishes on what it takes to style such a major event, as well as Stewart’s fashion evolution, and the one trend the “Twilight” actress refuses to try.
StyleCaster: The Met Gala is fashion’s biggest night. How is prepping for the red carpet different than others?
Tara Swennen: For both Kristen Stewart and Teresa Palmer, we started about a month out by figuring out who they were going with. We loved the idea of Stella McCartney for Kristen because she hasn’t gone with a girl before, so we were having our girl power moment. Teresa went with Diane von Furstenberg which was an organic fit as well. I never thought both of my girls would end up in red lace for a punk themed gala!
With Kristen, we went over the sketches via email—and it was unanimous decision that we really liked the jumpsuit. Stella had given us the option of doing it in black or green and the cranberry red color that we ended up going with. Kristen went back and forth between the red and the green—and we just decided we loved it. Her hair is a little bit reddish right now, so we thought it would complement it well.

Look UK: Kristen Stewart (And Alexa Chung) Glam Up For the Met Ball 2011
With a guest list to make the Oscars look positively D-list, it was a stylish celeb stampede at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala 2011, honouring the late Alexander McQueen. From Beyoncé to Sarah Jessica Parker, fashion's finest turned out at the biggest night of the fashion calendar this year. One of the best dressed celebrities was Alexa Chung, who flew the flag for Brit style in her Christopher Kane sequin dress and her fave Chanel heels – talk about cost per wear! We’re also loving Kristen Stewart’s red slinky number by Proenza Schouler. We’ve got serious dress envy… HE
NY Times Talks Met Gala Experience and Meeting Kristen Stewart
There are always a ton of celebrities at the Met party. I got introduced to Taylor Swift (in Gilles Mendel), Kerry Washington (Escada), and Kristen Stewart, who was with Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler, who made her dress. Ms. Stewart didn’t seem like much of a talker—you can’t really have a conversation there — but when she started to move on, she turned and said, “It was nice to meet you.”
