Special K! The bond between Karl and K-Stew

KRISTEN STEWART stuck up for controversial Chanel boss Karl Lagerfeld as she displayed her shapely rear while modelling the brand’s clobber in a racy photoshoot.

The Twilight star praised the German designer, who has struck a bum note by wrongly claiming Meryl Streep demanded payment for wearing one of his gowns to the Oscars.

Lagerfeld, 83, has also landed in hot water in the past for calling Adele fat.

But K-Stew told V Magazine: ‘Karl has always, from the very beginning, made me feel like being myself was the right thing to do. And he’s kind.’

The 26-year-old — who dates Belgian underwear model Stella Maxwell, also 26 — also posed shirtless in the Mario Testino shoot for the fashion mag’s V106 Free Spirit issue.
