- Kristen Stewart attended a screening of "BlacKkKlansman" at the Cannes Film Festival on Monday.
- Stewart, a legend, took off her heels as she walked the red carpet.
- Just about anyone who has ever worn heels can relate.
If you've ever worn high heels you are probably just a little bit familiar with the uncomfortable pinching sensation that sets in just about immediately after you slip into the shoes, and lasts until you take them off.
It seems like Kristen Stewart felt that pain on Monday when she attended a screening of "BlacKkKlansman" at the Cannes Film Festival. So the actor did what anyone would do (or at least dream about doing) in that situation: she ditched her shoes right there on the red carpet, in direct violation of the Cannes policy that requires women wear heels on the red carpet.
Stewart, who is a member of the Cannes jury this year, is basically a legend and the pictures of her walking the red carpet barefoot are truly iconic.
People are living for her rebellion against Cannes' no flats rule.

This isn't the first time that Stewart has broken Cannes' dress code, which mandates high heels, with her footwear choice (or in this case, lack thereof). In 2016, she wore sneakers on the red carpet. At the time, she explained her issue with the policy in an interview with Vanity Fair.
"Things have to change immediately," she said of the rule. "It has become really obvious that if [a man and I] were walking the red carpet together and someone stopped me and said, 'Excuse me, young lady, you're not wearing heels. You cannot come in.' Then [I'm going to say], 'Neither is my friend. Does he have to wear heels?' It can work both ways. It's just like you simply cannot ask me to do something that you are not asking him. I get the black-tie thing but you should be able to do either version — flats or heel."
