The Coolest Gal Pal in Hollywood: Kristen Stewart’s Style Evolution

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?

Switching it up from all-black for the 2003 premiere of thriller-flick Cold Creek Manor, a 13-year-old Kristen Stewart kept it super casual for the occasion, rocking flared denim jeans and a white poplin blouse. The corseted back-detail of the blouse and hint of lipstick signaled a rising maturity for the otherwise awkward pre-teen actress.

Look fast and you may not have recognized Kristen Stewart at the 4th annual Tribeca Film Festival in 2005.

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.
