In an era where new trends emerge on TikTok at warp speed, a collective sense of fashion whiplash is inevitable. I believe the antidote is to celebrate strong personal expression outside the whims of the algorithm. Our cover star, Kristen Stewart, embodies this value—a woman with a defined sense of self and signature aesthetic all her own. For our shoot, Stewart’s style took a slightly seductive spin in honor of her new film, Love Lies Bleeding, which centers an “electric” queer love story.

​

In addition to the cover story, we’ve got all the details on Stewart’s beauty look from the shoot. (May I suggest naturally flushed cheeks and a bitten berry lip be added to your makeup mood board this season?) And if nurturing your personal style is on your mind as much as it is on mine, we’ve got a delightful profile on the fashion-industry folks who are serving deeply developed personal style amidst an sea of sameness. Lastly, because it wouldn’t be a Who What Wear issue without some shopping, we have a guide to the most relevant spring wardrobe updates (should they align with your aesthetic, of course).
