Kristen Stewart at Cannes
Kristen Stewart, acclaimed for her role as Bella Swan in the “Twilight” saga and her versatile acting career, made headlines at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival but not for reasons you’re expecting. In a bold move against the festival’s controversial “No flats” rule for women on the red carpet, Kristen removed her Christian Louboutin heels and proceeded to walk barefoot.
Many saw this act of defiance as a powerful statement advocating for gender equality and the right to choose one’s attire. The Cannes Film Festival may be a prestigious event celebrating international cinema, but it often attracts more attention for its strict dress codes.
