Kristen Stewart makes me crabby. I know, I know, many of you think that making me crabby must be about as difficult as getting a
Hills girl to nod vacantly while making marginal eye contact with something in the middle distance. But seriously, come on, kid:
REALLY? Because the dress actually works a bit with the punk-princess sensibility she tries to work sometimes, but wouldn't this be a hundred times hotter -- yet STILL edgy -- with, say,
Ashley Tisdale's shoes here? And did I really just tell Kristen Stewart to learn something from one of the stars of
High School Musical? YES. I DID. Do you see what the lazy Converse have done to me? It would be fine if she were on set, and they were shooting angsty close-ups about vampiric love woes and the trouble with having lots of supernatural creatures with pointy teeth who are so very obsessed with you, and Kristen's feet hurt so she ditched her real shoes for something more comfortable to wear while just standing around not being seen from the waist down. But guess what? THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE TIMES.
Of course, then she went and charmed me a little by trying to exit the MTV stage and completely bumbling, then dropping, her popcorn statuette. And by acknowledging it in a sweetly awkward way, while also not appearing to care that part of it may have broken. So it all just made me wish MORE that she would respect the power of a great shoe.
Edited to add: I also just noticed that the tags on this entry accidentally make a full sentence: "SIGH, Twilight, you couldn't try a bit harder?" It's true on SO MANY LEVELS, people. So many.
Edited again to add: And if it's true she sprained her ankle (as is apparently rumored) and couldn't wear heels, well, there are about a hundred thousand better options than Converse for this outfit and occasion -- and if she was well enough to go in the first place and stand around on her ankle, she probably would've been fine in whatever arch support a cute pair of flats gave her. And also, she didn't seem to be limping. And also, unless she really had a doctor's note demanding the sneakers, I reiterate the aforementioned re: pursuing flats. Because it can't be said enough.
