Kristen Stewart’s style evolution is something that should be studied in textbooks. As someone who has always embodied defiance and individuality, she has never been afraid to experiment with her style and bend the rules of fashion.
Since her big break as Bella Swan in the Twilight series in 2009, Stewart quickly became a must-see on the red carpet. From gorgeous gowns to Chanel co-ords to edgy bodysuits, her elegant yet punk take on fashion has been inspiring. As the actress grew in her career, she has also grown in her personal style and has perfected the captivating nature of her dynamic ensembles. And as a Chanel brand ambassador since 2013, you can count on her to deliver a glitzy and chic look no matter the occasion.
From her Twilight era to her portrayal of Princess Diana in Spencer, here are some of Stewart’s most impressive red carpet looks through the years.

Kristen Stewart arrived at the Fine Arts Theatre in Los Angeles to attend the premiere screening of one of her more recent films, Love Lies Bleeding. Wearing a daringly high-waisted bodysuit, Stewart exuded the punk style we’ve come to know and love from the actress. The bodysuit legs are cut past the hips, with skinny spaghetti straps wrapped around either side of her body, leaving plenty of skin to bear. The final touches included a black tuxedo jacket, which hung perfectly off her shoulders for a sexy silhouette, as well as sheer black tights for an almost ballet-inspired look.
Berlinale International Film Festival, 2024
The relationship between Stewart and Chanel is one of the strongest we’ve ever seen. The Charlie’s Angels actress opted for a couture bridal look while attending the 74th Berlinale International Film Festival in Berlin. Stepping out in an all-white outfit, Stewart stunned in a tweed jacket, adorned with Chanel’s signature gold buttons, and a white mini skirt with a knee-length sheer layer. Paired with opaque white tights and a shaggy mullet to match, Stewart gave a grunge feel to an otherwise glitzy outfit.

A year earlier, Stewart attended the 73rd Berlinale International Film Festival’s closing ceremonies wearing a see-through black shirt dress, adorned with perfectly-placed pockets to cover the chest. The tea-length dress dropped down to reveal a pair of black briefs as well as three chunky bands of ruffles at the bottom. Paired with rockstar-inspired glam, Stewart’s spiky mullet and smudged eye look made the whole ensemble feel fresh and innovative.
Cannes Film Festival, 2022
Here Stewart is rocking her signature boyish aesthetic. Stepping out at the 75th Cannes Film Festival in France, the actress showed off in a perfectly tailored Chanel crop top and matching tweed pants, which perfectly balances femininity with her signature rugged style. Styled with chic sunglasses and a lazy top bun, we’re simply obsessed with this look.
“Crimes Of The Future” Screening, 2022
The actress really stepped out of her comfort zone with this one. Attending the screening of Crimes of the Future during the 75th annual Cannes Film Festival, Stewart wore a bedazzled cropped turtleneck paired with a dramatic white skirt. With such a glamorous ensemble, the Spencer actress chose to keep the accessories to a minimum, donning plain black pumps and a messy high ponytail.

The actress was among the A-listers who attended the 94th Academy Awards at the Dolny Theater in Los Angeles. Dressed in teeny tiny shorts and a cropped tuxedo jacket, Stewart wore a white button-up shirt—that was barely buttoned, by the way—and a long necklace that cascaded down her torso. In addition to this iconic ensemble, she swept her hair dramatically to the right side of her head for a dramatic flair.

The Sacramento star arrived at the Gotham Awards in New York City looking like an absolute punk babe. Showing off her arm tattoos, Stewart opted for a bright pink August Getty Atelier velvet dress, which is as simple as it is captivating. In her classic style, the actress wore her hair in a messy bun and paired the laissez-faire glam with bold, black eyeliner.

Channeling her inner gothic princess, Stewart attended the Premiere of Spencer in Los Angeles dressed in an all-black Chanel set. Stepping out for the red carpet, the actress posed elegantly in a sleeveless bralette and sheer midi skirt, adorned with sheer layers, lace, and last but not least, a dramatic bow. She finished off the look by pairing it with a smokey eye and messy bun, as usual.
“Charlie’s Angels” Premiere, 2019
When Kristen Stewart steps out in a floor-length gown, everyone stops and stares. Attending the Charlie’s Angels UK Premiere at The Curzon Mayfair in London, the actress wore a Thom Browne strapless gown paired with stacked silver chains and black pumps—though she later changed into a pair of white sneakers for comfort, and an added “Who cares?” attitude that has become a signature in her stylings.

We are absolutely gagged by this one. Attending the Personal Shopper premiere in New York City, Stewart opted for a blush-pink halter gown from the Chanel Pre-Fall 2017 collection. Styled with a dark smokey eye and her iconic buzz-cut bleach blonde hair, this is a red carpet look that will be remembered forever.
“Twilight Saga: New Moon” Premiere, 2009
Stewart’s penchant for princess skirts is no secret. At the premiere of Twilight Saga: New Moon, the actress wowed in a strapless gown with a ballgown skirt that gave her an almost “goth princess” look. She accessorized with only black bracelets, letting the dress do all the talking.
