Red carpet detective: Get Kristen Stewart's hoodie

A reader writes in:

Ms. Corcoran --

At nearly every premiere or press event for Twilight, Kristen Stewart has been photographed wearing a black zip-front leather hoodie with dark blue cuffs. I've searched everywhere for the jacket, though the closest I can find is a faux version at American Apparel.

If you could track down Ms. Stewart's coveted jacket, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your time and effort with this matter!

Sincerely,
Kristen Heine

Dear Kristen,

I love a leather hoodie myself and I dig that Stewart wears this jacket over and over again on the red carpet. Very cool. Edith Head -- the famous costume designer -- encouraged actresses to wear an outfit out more than once. And in this crap economy, it's nice to see stars showing some prudence.

Unfortunately, however, her leather hoodie is vintage and so you won't be able to buy the exact style. Don't you just hate that about vintage?

But I found a few leather hoodies that are close -- except for the navy ribbed cuffs and trim. The Theory jacket -- right -- is on sale at Bloomingdales for $525, marked down from $875. It is also ribbed at the waist and cuffs and features front pockets. I also found this Identify jacket, left, that is marked down 40% to $341.35 from $490. I like that the jacket is lined in striped silk, which gives it a flirty edge. Happy shopping!

If you ever want to know every detail -- the gloss, the dress and more -- of a recent red carpet look, e-mail me at monica.corcoran@latimes.com and I'll post the lowdown. As I like to say: It's not magic, it's makeup.
