Kristen Stewart

The young are doing things that only the young can do: messing with tradition and creating new trends. Women hogged the flashlights with dramatic outlines and statement hair, makeup and colors on the red carpet this week.

Slim silhouettes, backs and green make themselves felt.

Despite the Venice heat, oodles of material offset the sheath. Trousers also popped up, while men stayed classic.

Kristen Stewart stars as American actress Jean Seberg, whose life was tragically destroyed when she became a target of the FBI's COINTELPRO program. The actress, who became a darling of the French new wave best known for Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless, was a political activist who supported the Black Panther Party and was thus placed on the FBI’s list of persons to be ‘neutralized’.

After the heavily trending palette of blues, pinks and purples of the previous week, colors became more variant, but make no mistake – those hues are here for the season. Add in mustard through gold with the traditional solids thrown in and we are predicting the most colorful red carpet in years.

Men embrace suits , women have flowing skirts and yes, post Labor Day, white is still around. And since the rest of the world doesn’t have Labor Day, white is always in style! Click through the gallery to see Tom Hiddleston, Vanessa Hudgens and more.

Kristen Stewart is in Cannes making her directorial debut with her short film Come Swim. Stewart, 27, is not new to Cannes - she was here as an actress with Twilight and Café Society and again last year in Personal Shopper -  but this is the first time she's here as a director and screenwriter.

The snowstorm arrived, thousands marched down Main Street and the environment, the chosen theme for the 33rd edition of the Sundance Film Festival, led to a major acquisition by Netflix - the documentary Chasing Coral, part of the festival's new section, New Climate. And this is just the beginning.

Kristen talks about the latest Twilight installment.
