Kristen Stewart plays iconic designer Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel in a new short film by Chanel head designer Karl Lagerfeld. In its new trailer, titled Once And Forever, the 25-year-old actress channels the French style icon in a series of period costumes. The short film goes behind the scenes of a Chanel biopic with Kristen playing a spoiled actress cast as Chanel and actress Géraldine Chaplin who plays the real Coco Chanel in her later years.Kristen, who has been a Chanel brand ambassador since 2013, will also star as the face of the fashion house’s 2015-2016 campaign. Karl said he wanted the film to show audiences the real Coco Chanel.“The final image of Chanel is not her youth, her lovers, her beauty — it’s the old lady,” Lagerfeld told Harper’s Bazaar this week. “People who know the history of fashion know, but the public doesn’t see the woman, who she really was. That’s the story of the movie.”
