Recently, there has been a trend of celebrities opting for pants-less looks, with notable figures like Emily Ratajkowski, Sydney Sweeney, and now Kristen Stewart making headlines for their bold fashion choices. Kristen Stewart made a statement at the premiere of Love Lies Bleeding in LA by donning a daring leotard, in line with the '80s athletic theme of the upcoming queer thriller film.
Love Lies Bleeding follows Kristen Stewart's character, Lou, a gym manager with a criminal family, as she embarks on a romance with an aspiring bodybuilder portrayed by Katy O'Brian. The bodysuit worn by Stewart was created by the sustainable brand Better, known for its focus on upcycling fashion.
The outfit was styled by Tara Swennen, who shared behind-the-scenes glimpses of the ensemble coming together on her Instagram Story. While Stewart opted for a pants-less look for the premiere, she did add a pair of pants when introducing the movie.
In a previous interview with Rolling Stone, Stewart expressed that portraying Lou in Love Lies Bleeding felt like a return to her authentic self, likening it to her pre-adolescent years in terms of physical appearance and clothing choices. She emphasized her desire to embrace her identity fully, stating, 'I want to do the gayest fucking thing you’ve ever seen in your life.'
Love Lies Bleeding is set to hit theaters on March 8, offering audiences a glimpse into a unique and captivating narrative that explores themes of love, identity, and self-expression.
