Kristen Stewart and Imogen Poots front the November 2025 digital cover of i D, bringing a sharp mix of filmmaker focus and magnetic presence. Shot by Chessa Subbiondo and styled by Esther Matilla, the story is built around connection and creative chemistry, captured in a series of portraits that feel both intimate and charged.
The feature centers on The Chronology of Water, Stewart’s long awaited directorial debut that stars Poots. The film is rooted in memory, fury, and the constant reshaping of identity. It was shot over thirty two days in Latvia and Malta, and the editorial mirrors the rawness of the project. Against a sun faded LA backdrop, the color palette becomes a kind of emotional shorthand. Poots leans into quiet drama in an oxblood sweatshirt paired with powder blue satin shorts. Stewart appears in chartreuse tones mixed with worn in denim, a combination that suits the grounded intensity she is known for.
The wardrobe features pieces from MM6 Maison Margiela, Prada, and Calvin Klein. The styling is minimal yet charged, built on structured silhouettes, precise layering, and fabrics that catch the light with a soft edge. Each look carries a sense of interiority. There is closeness in the textures, restraint in the shapes, and a steady tension that runs between the two actors in every shared frame.
Subbiondo’s photographs honor both the film and the friendship behind it. The portraits are stripped back, honest, and quietly dramatic. Stewart’s expressions shift between calm focus and understated defiance, while Poots brings a reflective energy that anchors the story.
The result is a cover feature that feels modern, cinematic, and deeply attuned to the artistic partnership between Stewart and Poots. It celebrates a film built from raw emotion and a creative bond that moves naturally from set to still image.
