Kristen Stewart leads celebs partying at Salford Lads Club ahead of Chanel show
Kristen Stewart was seen partying in Manchester on Wednesday night ahead of a huge Chanel show in the city.
The Twilight star, who is a Chanel muse and brand ambassador for the designer label, was an unlikely face in Salford Lads Club, which is famous for its links to iconic Manchester band The Smiths – and even has its own Smiths Room.
Attending the party with girlfriend and bride to be Dylan Meyer, the 33-year-old cut a casual figure in a grey checked Chanel coat she wore over a white T-shirt that featured a picture of a couple kissing. She accessorised with a chunky silver necklace that appeared to have a lock and key pendant and rocked black jeans and clashing white socks with black loafer-style shoes. Her short black and red hair was fastened up loosely in a messy bun.
Also spotted at the star-studded event was Dr Who and Victoria star Jenna Coleman who brought an air of glamour to the VIP event in a black jacket and jeans which she teamed with a classic Chanel handbag and black and silver heels.
