Kristen Stewart is considered one of the most rebellious dressers in Hollywood for a reason—she'll go barefoot at press conferences, wear scruffy old trainers with Chanel haute couture and even cut up Chanel samples with a pair of scissors. She might hate high heels and (try to) avoid gowns like the plague, but this is exactly what makes her so exciting to watch on the red carpet—she'll never look the same as anyone else. She's a high-fashion tomboy if ever there was one. Not only that, but she's often throwing us with her fashion choices—just when we think we've got her red carpet style pegged, she'll go and do a complete 180.
As for her off-duty style, Kristen has truly honed her signature outfit—she's all about a pair of skinny jeans and a white T-shirt, preferably with a logo or band adorning the front, and a jacket thrown over the top. It's this nonchalant, super-cool approach to her everyday ensembles that merits her modern-day James Dean label.
Scroll below to see Kristen Stewart's inimitable style and why she's cooler than anyone in Hollywood right now.
Style Notes: While she might be a tomboy when it comes to her non–red carpet attire, Kristen Stewart is rather fond of the minidress. This Chanel (what else?) frock has party written all over it.
Style Notes: A Lacoste Harrington jacket, plus classic straight-leg jeans, all topped off with a pair of Wayfarer-esque shades—the modern James Dean look if we ever saw one.
Style Notes: K.Stew is more than a little fond of the leather biker jacket. The slightly cropped tee (another staple of her wardrobe) and the flat brogues with a little beanie help to make a seriously cool off-duty outfit.
Style Notes: When cosying up to former co-star Taylor Lautner, Stewart looks effortless in a green bomber jacket, white tee and jeans. The short cropped 'do only adds to her coolness.
Style Notes: It's rare that we see the star in a floor-scraping gown. Here, she's wearing Chanel as usual but in a halterneck silhouette, all the better to show off her short platinum hair.
Style Notes: Skinny jeans, a white tee and trainers seem to be a go-to for K.Stew. One rule is that the tees always have to be cropped, and the jeans always have to be turned up.
Style Notes: We never imagined that Kristen Stewart and the Kardashians would ever have much in common when it comes to fashion, but as it turns out, this cropped strapless bodysuit from Chanel is totally something we could see on either Kim or Kendall.
Style Notes: Another red carpet, another Chanel look. Again, Stewart does something completely different and opts for a pinafore dress with a bandeau top.
Style Notes: Kristen might rarely be seen wearing statement accessories, but one thing she does play with is socks. You'll notice that often she pairs her trainers or brogues with sheer ankle socks.
Style Notes: Kristen wore this outfit back in 2015, but two years later, it still looks just as cool. This ensemble incorporates all of the K.Stew classics, from her white lace-up pumps to the blue oversize men's shirt.
Style Notes: At the premiere of Personal Shopper in L.A. earlier this year, Kristen kept all attention on her striking new buzz cut by wearing a '90s-style A.L.C. black crop top with spaghetti straps with black tuxedo trousers and a corset-style waistband. Kristen often wears little or no jewellery, and here she wore nothing to maximise the impact of her smoky eyes.
Style Notes: When she's not working, the actress lives in ripped denim and tank tops, but when she's on promotional tours, she often pairs her tees with smart suits. Here, she went for an all-white suit with matching white loafers with black detailing. Her years as a Chanel ambassador has clearly given her a thing for monochrome.
Style Notes: This is another Kristen outfit from 2015 that is worth revisiting. She's a fan of crop tops, and her collection also extends to abs-flashing boxy shirts. Her trainer obsession has been heavily documented, but she also loves chunky black loafers with rubber soles, which might remind you of your school shoes. However, these are more Parisian schoolboy than '00s Kickers.

Style Notes: This black crop top, ripped denim skirt, black brogues and bomber jacket combo is a classic off-duty K.Stew look that we've seen her lean on throughout her career.
Style Notes: Kristen Stewart always looks more comfortable in a T-shirt than a red carpet gown, and at the American Honey premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in 2016, she paired a black Chanel short-sleeved top with a black satin midi skirt, strappy heels and the padlock necklace you'll spot in many of her pictures.
Style Notes: This has to be one of Kristen's best looks to date. At a photocall for the Cannes Film Festival in 2016, she wore a silver sleeved Chanel mini with mirrored silver pointed heels, and she put the K.Stew stamp on the look with a deep berry lipstick and vintage-inspired sunglasses.
Style Notes: If there's one outfit that sums up K.Stew's style, it's this one. At a Cannes photocall, she wore a white Chanel pencil skirt with heels (which she swiftly removed to go barefoot) and a white Chanel tee that she ripped with a pair of scissors. "We cut it that morning," Kristen's stylist, Tara Swennen, explained to The Telegraph. "I would easily say about seven or eight inches. It always makes me cringe a little bit, like, is Karl going to come kill me at some point? But it's a T-shirt, it wasn't that bad."
Style Notes: Kristen Stewart always does the red carpet in her own way, and at the Cannes Film Festival she paired her white Chanel haute couture dress with dramatic feathered sleeves with a pair of scruffy lace-up trainers and some bold eye makeup. It works.
Style Notes: As the face of Chanel, Kristen Stewart usually relies on Herr Lagerfeld when it comes to formal occasions, and here she opted for a more ladylike silhouette, wearing a black pleated skirt with a white ornate lace blouse with a black cropped bolero jacket over the top.
