Kristen Stewart Turns Heads at Deauville American Film Festival, Teases Upcoming Directorial Debut

The usually low-key Kristen Stewart made a statement at the 51st Deauville American Film Festival in France, where she was spotted showing off her toned legs in a sizzling white mini skirt. The Twilight alum, 35, arrived at the photocall for her directorial debut, "The Chronology of Water," looking every inch the Hollywood star.

Underneath a chic buttoned-up tweed jacket that barely covered her braless assets, Kristen added a touch of sophistication with a brown belt and completed the look with a pair of black heels that gave her an extra boost. The usually reserved actress seemed to be in high spirits as she posed for snaps, her smile lighting up the entire scene.

But it's not just about looks – Kristen has been making waves in the film industry with "The Chronology of Water," which marks her directorial debut and is adapted from the 2011 memoir by Lidia Yuknavitch. The feature piece tells the powerful story of a woman who overcomes an abusive childhood to become a competitive swimmer, and Kristen has been instrumental in bringing this inspiring tale to life.

The actress co-wrote the screenplay with Andy Mingo and produced the film through her production company, Scott Free Productions, which she has partnered with for several years. "The Chronology of Water" has already received critical acclaim after its screening at the Cannes Film Festival earlier in May, where Kristen presented the film herself.

In an interview with The Scholarly Note, Kristen gushed about the project, saying: "Lidia's memoir honors corporeal experience, radically... To make that experience physical feels vital to me and what this impulse means…is that it absolutely must be a film." She added: "This project has been cooking for five years with the help of Scott Free, whom I could not be more privileged to have as partners and friends."

It's clear that Kristen is passionate about bringing Lidia Yuknavitch's story to the big screen, and her dedication to the project has paid off. But what's even more interesting is Kristen's personal life – the actress tied the knot with her wife Dylan Meyer, 37, just last month in an intimate ceremony.

While details of their wedding were scarce, a clip of Kristen's heartfelt vows began circulating online shortly after the ceremony, giving fans a glimpse into their special day. The video shows Kristen reading from a piece of paper, her voice trembling as she spoke to Dylan: "You are my home... My heart, my everything." As she paused to adjust her microphone, sparking some laughter from the crowd, Kristen seemed genuinely overwhelmed with emotion.

Dylan's vows were just as touching, and Kristen appeared visibly moved by her words, rubbing her eyes as she listened. The ceremony was an intimate affair, attended by close friends and family members who respected the couple's space as they exchanged their vows.

The romance between Kristen and Dylan is a relatively recent development – although they reportedly met on a movie set back in 2013, it wasn't until August of 2019 that they became an item. Now, the actress has spoken about her wife in interviews, saying: "She's my partner in every way possible... I love her."

As Kristen continues to make waves in the film industry with "The Chronology of Water," fans can't help but wonder what's next for this talented couple. Will they be making more movies together? And what's behind their enduring love story? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – Kristen Stewart and Dylan Meyer are a power couple to watch out for in the years to come.
