Short-shorts are everywhere this summer, but Kristen Stewart has been loyal to the super cropped bottom for a long time. Whether it’s a tweed Chanel pair at the Cannes Film Festival, knitted knickers, or Daisy Dukes, K Stew’s love for short-shorts knows no limits.

Last night, she went back to her reliable red carpet formula. Stewart attended the LA premiere of Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma and joined stars Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson on the step and repeat. She wore black denim cut-offs, with the raw hem just barely peeking out from under her structured suit jacket and a gray silk top. She styled it with white socks, black canvas Ruby Brown high-top sneakers, sunglasses, and a single silver link chain necklace. It was a playful, irreverent contrast to Anderson’s floral look and Einbinder’s textured little black dress.

Stewart and her love for short-shorts go way back. At the Nouvelle Vagues Film Festival in June, she chose a nautical Chanel resort 2027 two-piece with navy buttoned shorts. At Cannes last year, she played with her usual style and wore a pastel tweed Chanel cardigan with matching shorts, plus a sheer, layered chiffon skirt over the top. Her 2022 Oscars appearance went down in red carpet history when she wore a satin suit with matching shorts and a white shirt unbuttoned to her navel.

It’s definitely been a short-shorts summer, too: from Charli XCX in black booty shorts to Zoe Kravitz and Harry Styles in matching sports shorts. And while Bermudas and jorts are making their case as this summer’s go-to bottoms, for Kristen Stewart, the thigh’s the limit.
