The edgy-chic necklace inspired by Kristen Stewart's favorite Jillian Dempsey design.
'The Lip Locket is designed by Jillian Dempsey, available in 925 silver or 14K gold and hangs on either an 18” or 24” chunky chain (for the perfect elegant-cool-girl swagger). Inspired by the iconic punk lock necklace Jillian designed for Kristen Stewart, it’s a little edgy, seriously practical, and a piece you’ll have forever.'

Kristen talks about Jillian Dempsey and Adir Abergel talks about doing her hair with Vogue
It was almost a decade ago that Kristen Stewart first stepped out with her silver punk lock necklace designed by her longtime makeup artist Jillian Dempsey. Since then, the heavy metal chain pendant has been a constant presence, serving as a, if not the, touchstone of her signature grunge glamour. “It’s the only piece of jewelry I’ve ever been able to hold on to,” Stewart tells Vogue. “I think that says everything.”
For years, admirers of Stewart’s style and rabid Twilight fans alike have been chasing makeup-pro turned jewelry designer Dempsey hoping for one of their own. The bad news? The one-and-only silver punk lock necklace belongs to Stewart and her alone. The good news: Today, Dempsey is launching a new necklace inspired by the original: The Lip Locket Necklace. Much like Stewart’s padlock necklace, the Lip Locket is a nod to the visual staples of the British punk scene in both form and function. Dempsey lived in London when she first got her start as a makeup artist, and she forged an appreciation for the icons that crafted the look, such as Judy Blame and Dame Vivienne Westwood.
A thick chain cast in silver or gold plating in two different sizes (a collarbone-grazing 18” or chest-length 24”) with a sleek square locket pendant, the necklace combines Dempsey’s passion for hard-edge jewelry and clean, sustainable makeup. It conveniently stores a sheer, finger-friendly lip tint for easy, on-the-go application. “If you want to do a little touch up and don’t want to have to take a clutch out for the evening, you can wear it around your neck,” explains Dempsey, who designed four different custom shades—berry Maryl Mulberry, ruby Royce Red, rosy Knownothing Nude, and bright Quando Pink—of the all-natural tinted formula, made from naturally moisturizing sunflower oil, avocado oil, and shea butter. Each locket comes with a special safety pin to pop a pigment pan in or out of the locket box, and custom tape stripes to secure the mini lip pan in place. “Whatever you’re feeling for your lips and also cheeks, you can just pop it in,” explains Dempsey. “You can change your mood and change your shade.”
Given her passion for jewelry history, Dempsey also appreciates the sentimental value attached to a locket-style necklace. “It’s your little secret stash box,” explains Dempsey, adding that it only gets better with age. “As you wear it, it blends with your body’s oils and naturally starts to change color over time.”
Stewart can confirm: “Certain choices about how you adorn or dress yourself that last are always the ones that feel the most special and authentic and lived-in and cool because they’re truly authentic,” the actor explains. “I don’t know what I’d do if I lost my punk lock necklace. I guess I’d ask Jill to make another one. But it wouldn’t be the same. Jill made something that really became a part of me.”
The Jillian Dempsey Lip Locket Necklace is available exclusively on her beauty and grooming app FYFE Beauty.
Kristen Stewart is having a hair moment. It all started at Venice Film Festival, where Stewart unveiled a bold new strawberry blonde hue, which she’d had styled into an elegant chignon. There was something almost lurid about the colour, which gave this otherwise demure look a subversive twist. Next came her Met Gala look; a retro ponytail paired with a victory roll fringe that referenced the ’50s rockabilly movement – a standout among the evening’s more traditional red carpet looks. And finally, her recent FROW appearance at the Chanel spring/summer 2022 show, where she nailed this season’s hottest trend: the ’90s spiky top knot.
“Kristen is one of my greatest muses,” says the mastermind behind it all, Stewart’s longtime hairstylist Adir Abergel. In fact, Abergel has been behind Stewart’s hair evolution since the actor was 15 years old. He was there for the Twilight years; he was the one who helped create her long vampire-next-door locks. He was also there for the experimental years: the shaving of the head, the pixie cut, the bleached blonde phase, the bleached peach phase, and even those neon pink tips. And now, as Stewart enters a new sartorial era – perhaps inspired by her turn in the upcoming biopic Spencer as Princess Diana, whose playful approach to style was well-documented – Abergel is once again making hair magic at her side. Vogue sat down with the celebrity hairstylist to find out more.
Can you tell me a bit about your relationship with Kristen? How would you describe the creative process?
It’s a total collaboration. Kristen and I will throw out a lot of references when we are working on a look. I am an avid researcher and image collector. My favourite thing in the entire world is collaboration.
Kristen has been undergoing a bit of a hair-naissance at the moment. Can you tell us a bit about that?
For her more recent looks, we looked at lots of references. For the Chanel FROW look, we looked at 1990s Drew Barrymore, and Natasha Kaminsky from the film Paris Texas, as well as early Peter Lindberg photographs for that textured hair look. And for the Met Gala we looked at early ’40s and ’50s pin-up girls.
What's the best trick to bear in mind when creating these kinds of looks?
Healthy hair is the basis for any good style. I like my clients to shampoo their hair four times a week and recommend they use the Virtue Restorative Treatment Mask twice a week. I also suggest minimising heat styling. A great tip is to use cold air to rough dry hair to 80 per cent prior to drying your hair with heat with a round brush.
When it comes to styling, the trick is creating a high-shine finish and using lightweight products that won’t weigh down the hair. The one product that has been key to creating all of these looks is Virtue Healing Oil. It provides serious shine, hydration and treatment all in one dose. It’s Kristen’s and my favourite.
When creating a red-carpet look for Kristen. What’s your starting point? Do you look at the outfit or references? Will Kristen have an idea of what she wants?
I always start with the outfit. Then I think about the event. But most importantly it’s about highlighting Kristen and not letting any look over-take the essence of who she is.
Away from that whole glam lifestyle, how do you like to style Kristen's hair?
Kristen is low maintenance with her day-to-day off-duty hair. It’s either in a ponytail or just textural and undone.
What do you think Kristen’s entire hair evolution since you’ve known her says about her?
It would say that Kristen is fearless when it comes to self-expression. She is a true individual, she also has an incredible knowledge of references.
What are some of your favourite hairstyles you’ve created for her?
Throughout the years we have done so much. From her iconic Twilight days of long dark undone hair, to shaving her hair and bleaching her out, to tipping the ends of her hair in red dye to match a Chanel nail colour for the Met Ball, to most recently colouring her hair into a coppery butterscotch that was a nod to pin-up girls from the early ‘40s and ’50s.
What style or colour would you like to see Kristen do next?
I am really into these slightly off tones like Kristen has been exploring. I’m also loving these bigger bolder highlights around the hairline. But that’s the beauty of working with Kristen – neither of us knows yet.

Adir Abergel and Jillian Dempsey talk about creating Kristen's look for the Met Gala
Click on pics for full view.
Kristen Stewart’s look for the Met Gala 2019 was inspired by David Bowie and a bottle of nail polish.
“She immediately referenced The Man Who Fell to Earth as her inspiration,” said hairstylist Adir Abergel, creative director of Virtue Labs. “I said ‘100 percent.’”
When you look at stills of Bowie in the film, his hair is, undoubtedly red, but specifically ginger red. Stewart’s last night, on the other hand, was blazing neon red, and that’s where the nail polish came in.
“We wanted to pay homage to Karl Lagerfeld, which is where the color idea came from,” explains Abergel. “But I also wanted to add a ’90s heartthrob side to it, so we did a center part and made the hair a little floppy.”
The red in question is Chanel’s Arancio Vibrante, a bright poppy orange that, yep, popped on the ends of Stewart’s hair. L.A. colorist Daniel Moon bleached only her top layers, then painted the red on the ends, the color gradually rising closer to the roots the further back of her head it traveled.
“We matched the reds over FaceTime,” laughed Abergel. “It took Daniel only two tries, which is pretty amazing.”

Abergel hand-raked Virtue’s Un-Frizz Cream through Stewart’s ends for separation, while manicurist Ashley Johnson used the actual polish shade on her nails. Makeup artist Jillian Dempsey bleached Stewart’s brows, which was a first for the actress.
“I was so excited to de-virginize them,” enthused Dempsey. “I originally wanted to pop them out to a white color, but I removed the bleach prematurely and it was this cool banana color. Instead of toning it down, I just left them raw and punk.”
Dempsey amped the brows even further with an underline of white pencil, then dotted her eyelids with Tile Red and Bronze Taupe shades from CHANEL Les 4 Ombres in Blurry Mauve, finishing with a coat of Inimitable Mascara in Noir. The lips stayed nude with Chanel’s Rouge Coco Flash in Chicness.
“That was one of our push-the-look moments,” explains Dempsey. “I held a fuchsia in front of her mouth just to see it, then a red, and we were like, ‘Oh hell, no. It’s got to be a nude.’”
A red lip would have been too much, even for camp — a term that first appeared in Moliere’s 1671 play The Importance of Scapin, right around the time one character instructs another to “Wear a furious look. Strut about like a drama king.” Stewart’s look might not have been furious, but it certain had drama.
“Kristen is a modern-day Bowie to me,” says Abergel, “She’s always played with gender in such a beautiful way, like Bowie did. And she’s just as fearless.”
