Since her rise to fame as Bella Swan in Twilight, Kristen Stewart has perfected the gothic glam look.

Being in the spotlight since 2002, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/kristen-stewart-dylan-meyer-relationship-timeline-twilight-spencer-robert-pattinson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kristen Stewart</a> grew up on the screen. From her breakout role in Twilight to her recent Oscar-nominated performance as <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/princess-diana-style" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Princess Diana</a> in <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/kristen-stewart-spencer-film-princess-diana-psychic-connections" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spencer</a>, the actress has been a key figure in pop culture since the late aughts.&nbsp;
As her acting career has flourished, so too has her fashion sense. From loosely fitted garments, endless <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/chanel-spring-summer-2022-haute-couture-virginie-viard-fashion-week" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chanel</a>, and bright shades of pink, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/kristen-stewart-met-gala-2021-outfit-scared-celebrities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stewart's</a> style evolution has been one of exploration and innovation. Finally settling into a gothic glam aesthetic, she made a name for himself as both an actress and a fashion icon. As 2023 progressed, Stewart continued on the monochrome, black-and-white style train&mdash;a theme that has also carried over into 2024. In the first few months of 2024, Stewart has been on a daring style streak, often seen sporting looks that feature plunging necklines, sheer fabrics, and bra-centric elements. The <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/pantsless-outfits-runway-celebrities-no-pants-trend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pantsless</a> trend that took the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/fall-winter-2024-fashion-trends-runway" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fall/Winter 2024 runways</a> by storm has also been spotted on the actress, who bared the leg-forward trend in a high-cut black bodysuit and as well as cozy knit bottoms.&nbsp;
As Stewart enters a new era in her style journey, join L'OFFICIEL in taking a look at some of her best moments over the years.

For the 2009 premiere, the young actress wore a tulle gown from <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/oscar-de-la-renta-wedding-dress-bridal-fashion-kennedy-clinton" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oscar De La Renta</a>. The grey shade gave her a more demure-like look, perfect for celebrating the vampire-filled film.

2009 'Twilight: New Moon' Premiere

Stewart was styled in a champagne Zuhair Murad gown. With its fitted bodice and layers of lace, this was exactly what every teenage girl dreamed of owning in the early 2010s.

In 2015, she wore this classic two-piece set to Chanel's Fall/Winter 2015 Haute Couture show. The simplicity, classiness, and all-black created the perfect combination for any event.

The actress debuted her bleached buzzcut in 2017, and never looked cooler. It was effortlessly chic and marked a turn in her style which evolved into finding clothes that truly matched her vibe.

Buzzcut Era

As her career moved away from major franchises and into more independent films, Stewart's red carpet style also began to better align with her own aesthetic. While attending the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/best-red-carpet-looks-2021-cannes-film-festival" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cannes Film Festival</a> in 2018, the actress appeared on the red carpet in a white strapless Chanel gown with her locks pulled back in a tight top knot. The look was completed with a pair of simple <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/quincy-brown-louboutin-sneaker-campaign-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Louboutins</a>.&nbsp;
