She starred in the 2016 drama Personal Shopper but when it comes to her own style, Kristen Stewart seems to favour one label above all.

The American actress, 31, is quite the Chanel advocate on the red carpet, after becoming an ambassador for the French brand in 2013.

The Snow White and the Huntsman star even played the maison's founder, Coco Chanel, in the 2015 short film Once and Forever, though she sported a wider number of labels in the earlier years of her career.

Stewart, who rose to fame as a young actress starring opposite Jodie Foster in 2002 action flick Panic Room, gained widespread attention after playing Bella Swan in the Twilight franchise, based on author Stephenie Meyer's vampire-inspired series.

Turning to labels such as Lebanon's Zuhair Murad and Reem Acra, as well as Balenciaga, the actress morphed from early noughties trends to a more timeless style, embracing floor-sweeping gowns in bold block colours.

In more recent years, Stewart has developed a penchant for super-sharp tailoring by the likes of Thom Browne, as well as more directional separates and avant-garde fabrics from Chanel, which has been under the creative direction of Virginie Viard since Karl Lagerfeld's death in 2019.

She's also not afraid of a directional print, making her one of the red carpet's most dynamic stars, whether stepping out at premieres, fashion shows or film festivals.

Here, we take a look at how the star's style has evolved throughout her time in the spotlight.

Why are asylum seekers being housed in hotels?

The number of asylum applications in the UK has reached a new record high, driven by those illegally entering the country in small boats crossing the English Channel.

A total of 111,084 people applied for asylum in the UK in the year to June 2025, the highest number for any 12-month period since current records began in 2001.

Asylum seekers and their families can be housed in temporary accommodation while their claim is assessed.

The Home Office provides the accommodation, meaning asylum seekers cannot choose where they live.

When there is not enough housing, the Home Office can move people to hotels or large sites like former military bases.

How it works

Each player begins with one of the great empires of history, from Julius Caesar's Rome to Ramses of Egypt, spread over Europe and the Middle East.

Round by round, the player expands their empire. The more land they have, the more money they can take from their coffers for each go.

As unruled land and soldiers are acquired, players must feed them. When a player comes up against land held by another army, they can choose to battle for supremacy.

A dice-based battle system is used and players can get the edge on their enemy with by deploying a renowned hero on the battlefield.

Players that lose battles and land will find their coffers dwindle and troops go hungry. The end goal? Global domination of course.
