Who remembers their last heartbreak? Did it inspire an identity-shifting dye job? Or perhaps you smeared on unprecedented amounts of sooty eyeliner in a crushed act of rebellion. But who needs romantic disappointment when we have Donald Trump to look forward to?
Certainly not Kristen Stewart, whom the president-elect infamously derided as a “dog” in the wake of her breakup with Robert Pattinson years ago. But really, that’s neither here nor there: The actress has been on a winning streak with one risk-taking transformation after the other, pitting an edgy, razor-sharp polish against the softer, bombshell sense of femininity that has marked this decade in beauty.
Spotted on Instagram today, her look—all wraparound cat-eyes, gothic nails, and slicked-down espresso hair, to say nothing of a hand gesture that few parts of the world would mistake for a victory sign—seemed to signal that dark times call for the darkest of palettes. Think back to the grungy George H.W. Bush years or the post-9/11 punk explosion. Nasty women, let’s get our war paint on.
The post Dark Times, Dark Beauty: Kristen Stewart Goes Punk appeared first on Vogue.
