Kristen Stewart is taking her role as the face of Chanel literally, as she's set to star as Coco Chanel in a new short film.
The film, written and directed by Karl Lagerfeld, is a 'trailer' for a mock biopic about the iconic fashion house's founder, and will debut at the Métiers d’Arts show in Rome on December 1.
"She played it really, really mean," Lagerfeld told WWD of the 25-year-old actress.
"You only see her in tests and she’s complaining about everything. She’s mean with the director; mean with the producer."
Geraldine Chaplin, who has previously portrayed Chanel, is in the film as well.
“They make so many movies about Chanel, why can’t I make one?” Lagerfeld added of the project.
