The newest entry into queer canon history occurred today, with Kristen Stewart reviving a perennial mall staple: the humble skort.
Though, rather than looking to the perpetually millennial Abercrombie silhouette, Stewart has looked to a cocktail of luxury labels for her prep-dripping ensemble; a look that brings a little piece of 2006 to the streets of New York.
Stewart is currently in Manhattan to promote her latest project Living for the Dead. Stewart both appears in and executive produced the investigaytion-style series helmed by five queer paranormal investigators who travel around America on a ghost-hunting adventure.
However, the outing offered a Cher Horowitz-inspired spin on Stewart’s signature ensemble: a tuxedo top and bare-leg bottoms. Stewart is a Valley Girl, after all.
For the occasion, Stewart sported a Prince of Wales check black-and-white blazer from Manhattan’s king of tailoring, Thom Browne. (Though, we’re not sure what Princess Diana would think of an actress who portrayed her proudly wearing a print named after her ex-husband).
The 33-year-old softened the style by forgoing a blouse underneath the coat, leaving the black band of her bralette to peek out through the lapels. Stewart’s skort came courtesy of Bettter, an upcycled textiles company creating sleek, 90s-inspired corporate staples for the conscious worker.
On her feet, Stewart completed the uniform-esque silhouette with Chanel loafers and thick, ribbed black socks.
There’s nothing that screams “I love things that haunt gay people” more than reclaiming a style your high-school bully would’ve worn when taunting you across the cafeteria. Now, that’s power.
