It’s been an exciting year for the 22-year-old actress. She’s covered two handfuls of fashion magazines in just a few short months, promoted the heck out of her action-packed fairytale flick “Snow White and the Huntsman”, went to the Cannes Film Festival to premiere the Walter Salles-directed “On The Road”, where she stars as the promiscuous teen Marylou, scored a deal as a face of the latest Balenciaga fragrance “Florabotanica”, and this fall, she’ll bring Bella back to the big screen one last time with “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2” – the ‘epic’ finale of the beloved vampy franchise based off Stephenie Meyer’s hugely successful book series.
Say that 10 times fast!
Kristen reunited with her photographer pal Mario Testino as he shot her for the British cover, the two worked together on her first American Vogue cover last year and more recently for Vanity Fair. She gave her best sultry, pout while rocking a floral ruffle dress by Gucci, deep red lips and red shadow smoky eyes, courtesy of make-up artist James Kaliardos.
In the issue, K.Stew opened up about living in the spotlight — and going blonde!
On how she stays sane in a hectic industry: “I know if you haven’t thought about how you want to present a very packaged idea of yourself, then it can seem like you lack ambition. But, dude, honestly? I can’t. People expect it to be easy because there you are, out there, doing the thing that you want and making lots of money out of it. But, you know, I’m not that smooth. I can get clumsy around certain people. Like if I were to sit down and think, ‘OK, I’m really famous — how am I going to conduct myself in public?’ I wouldn’t know who that person would be! It would be a lot easier if I could, but I can’t.”
On becoming Marylou and going blonde: “I feel like my whole body rejects it, but it was really important for the character. It was like learning an accent!”
She’s also wearing a horn ring from Leane’s collection.
