Kristen Stewart Will Play a ‘Mean’ Coco Chanel
LatestWith multiple campaigns under her belt, Kristen Stewart is close to becoming a seasoned vet when it comes to Chanel. Now, the actress is taking on the role of Coco Chanel in an upcoming short film from Karl Lagerfeld.
The film will debut in December at the fashion house’s 12th annual Métiers d’Arts show, reports WWD. Stewart’s role in the short is a little different than expected—she’s set to play an actress who is playing a young version of Chanel’s founder, Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel. “She played it really, really mean,” described Lagerfeld of Stewart’s portrayal. “You only see her in tests and she’s complaining about everything. She’s mean with the director; mean with the producer.”
