Stewart and Foster reunited at Sundance Film Festival’s opening night gala and took some photos to commemorate the occasion. In one of them, they were accompanied by Alexandra Hedison, Foster’s wife. Stewart wore a matching Chanel outfit made out of a jacket, a top and some pants, while Foster wore a dark suit with a striped shirt. Hedison also wore a suit, with her opting for a blue tone and velvet fabrics.

“Panic Room” follows Meg Altman (Foster) and her daughter Sarah (Stewart), who have just moved into a luxurious home that gets broken into by thiefs. Over the course of the film, the two manage to stay alive by hiding in the panic room as they cope with Sarah’s diabetes. The film had one of the biggest box office openings ever, and remains a fan favorite.
