Kristen Stewart dons all-black for her red-carpet debut in 2002
Fresh-faced and — shocking — all smiles, a young Kristen Stewart stepped out onto the red carpet for the 2002 premiere of Panic Room, which she starred in alongside Hollywood heavyweight (and fellow lady lover) Jodi Foster, who played her on-screen mom.
Clad in all-black layers, a choppy bob hairstyle and not a speck of makeup, Kristen Stewart clearly nixed the option of a personal shopper for the event and instead channeled queen of goth-chic Winona Ryder. We can’t say we hate it?

Kristen Stewart switches gears at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2005
Look fast and you may not have recognized Kristen Stewart at the 4th annual Tribeca Film Festival in 2005. Sporting honey-coloured locks and a complimentary palette in her blazer-and-skirt combo, the actress seemed to take a major risk with her style for the occasion. While we give her props for trying something new, the ultra-feminine pleated skirt and ballet flats didn’t seem to work for Stewart, who looked as though she’d been styled against her will for the appearance.

Kristen Stewart attends Snow White and the Hunstman premiere in Sydney, Australia in 2012
2012 was a rollercoaster year for Kristen Stewart, who was on a roll with her film career and had just released Snow White and the Huntsman, was also in the thick of a scandal with the film’s (very married) director, Rupert Sanders. After photos emerged of the director and his film’s leading lady getting a little too cozy, the pair issued public statements — Sanders to his wife and family, and Stewart to her unsuspecting long-term boyfriend, Robert Pattinson.
Scandal aside, we love the look of this chic embellished two-piece on the actress, who, by the look of this chummy group shot, definitely didn’t foresee the drama to come.

Kristen Stewart hits reset in 2017
While hosting SNL in 2017, Kristen Stewart made waves with two major on-stage moments: one was her accidental F-bomb, and the other was her first open-admission of being gay. Stewart would later refer to the moment as one of visibility.
Spotted here with girlfriend and model Stella Maxwell, Kristen Stewart sports a shaved head and grunge-casual style. Since coming out in such a public way, Stewart’s sense of style seems to have shifted drastically, with the actress seemingly determined to have her fashion reflect a more authentic representation of herself.
