Kristen Stewart to star as Chanel in Karl Lagerfeld's short film

Kristen Stewart is already the face of Chanel, but now she's going one step further and playing the fashion house founder in a new short movie, Digital Spy reports.

The film will follow a fictional biopic in the making about Gabrielle Chanel and offer a behind-the-scenes look at her career, under the direction of designer and Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld.

The short film - featuring the Twilight star as the actress playing Chanel - will be screened at the Métiers d'Arts show on December 1 in Rome, WWD reports.
