For a teenage heartthrob tale to hold water it needs to not only have a perfectly chiseled eye candy caliber of a man, for whom ladies trip over their feet trying to catch a glimpse of, it also needs a damsel to catch his eye. The type that would be the object of jealousy and guile rage for having stolen the aforementioned man’s heart.

This is exactly the image that Kristen Stewart portrays. Although she had been on the silver screen from a tender age, many grew accustomed to her name when she played the role of Bella Swan in the blockbuster movie series Twilight where she acted alongside Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner.

Her role in the vampire romance story thrust her into the limelight at the age of 17 and sped her to Hollywood superstardom at breakneck speed. However, when the final Twilight movie Breaking Dawn Part 2 was released in 2012, and we had come down from the frenzy that was Bella and Edward Cullen, Kristen disappeared, only to reappear and shake up every image that we had created of her. Breaking up with Robert Pattinson, shaving her hair and dropping a curse word on Saturday Night Live, it is true that she has had a lot going on. Here, are 20 things that Kristen Stewart has been up to ever since she left Twilight:

She and Robert Pattinson are no more

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart—once collectively known as "Robsten"—had an intense, dramatic relationship that may have been more insane off screen than onscreen; which says a lot, considering they played supernatural, melodramatic characters in The Twilight Saga. Trouble in paradise began when Stewart was busted in the summer of 2012. Even though Pattinson took Stewart back after she had issued a public apology about the Sanders saga, the damage was too severe to be undone. By May 2013, the pair were done for good.

She Cut Her Hair

In 2016, the actress shocked many when she spotted a new, and largely unexpected hairdo when she stopped by Today Opens a New Window show. The 26-year-old actress she chatted with co-hosts Savannah Guthrie and Willie Geist about her drastic new look. She also made a red carpet appearance on Tuesday, March 7^th at the Los Angeles premiere of her then latest film, Personal Shopper. She revealed that the choice to shave her hair was not purely for fashion reasons; resounded that it was practical and would be easy to manage when she began filming the William Eubank–directed movie Underwater, in which she played a mechanical engineer who worked on an oil rig on the ocean floor.

she got twilight fans to stop liking her

Although she had acted prior to 2008, Kristen Stewart was introduced to most of us as Bella from the Twilight movies. Many people, however, did not like her or her acting, saying that she was boring, passive, and extremely monotonous. She also was on the receiving end of wrath from Twilight fans after she broke up with co-star Robert Pattinson. In spite of being fully aware that she is not liked by a section of Twilight fans, she did not allow it to bother her. Even when praise comes to her on twitter, she told The Sunday Times, that some hate would always come her way, more so after her high profile split that brought Robsten to an end.

She Became Open About Her Private Life

Every celebrity tries as hard as they can to keep their private life away from the prying eyes of the public, and Kristen Stewart was no different. She used to fight like heck to keep her private life private, including her relationship with her Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson, but then she came to grips with her celebrity status. For years, Kristen Stewart resolutely tried to keep her private life out of the public eye. Now, though, the actress says that she has decided to share her relationship experiences with the world as an opportunity to “make even one other person feel good about themselves".

She Was On The Cover Of Variety Magazine

After a period of making news for all the not so right reasons, Kirsten Stewart felt it was time to reinvent herself. What better way to do this than to appear on the cover of Variety magazine's Cannes cover. She made a statement alright, and her edgy look made waves for days. She also let her guard down and shared two very important points that were not only values that she lived by, but were also very relevant to the modern world. The Cafe Society actress insisted that she was not hiding from the press, but just preferred to keep a low profile and protect herself.

She Took A Sabbatical

When faced with an impending burn-out, taking a sabbatical from work to try something new is good. In 2014, Hollywood actress Kristen Stewart announced that she would be taking a sabbatical from work. The actress explained that the previous two years had been especially busy ones for her, and since she started in the profession so early, she never had the time to explore other creative aspects of herself.

She Appeared On Snow White And The Huntsman

Playing the role of Bella Swan on the Twilight Saga catapulted Kristen Stewart to Hollywood superstardom and made her the go-to girl for many roles with many producers wanting to cash in on her new found fame. One such title that was able to land her signature was Snow White and The Huntsman where she brought to life the fairytale of Snow White alongside Chris Hemsworth. Many critics have faulted Snow White and the Huntsman for, oddly enough, an absence of heart. This is a peculiar criticism for a movie that takes great pains to establish the emotional complexity of its characters.

She Won A Cesar Award

In 2015, Kristen Stewart made history by becoming the first American actress to win a Cesar – the French equivalent of an Oscar – at France’s most prominent film awards show.

Became A Rebel

Kristen Stewart has made a name for herself for not being keen to play by the rules. She has made it a point to carve out her own path without regard for the opinion of many. The actress has been so well known for swapping out her heels for something more comfortable (usually Converse) during red carpet events, that in 2015 Footwear News wrote a list of all the times she actually kept her heels on. This instance, though, Stewart’s barefoot rule may have been in protest of Cannes’s infamous high heels-only rule. In 2017, she had spoken out against the rule to The Hollywood Reporter. Stewart went for her classic comfort move: taking her shoes off on the red carpet for the BlacKkKlansman premiere. You go girl.

Bought A Loft In Manhattan

After years of maintaining a number of homes on the West Coast, Kristen Stewart finally bought an apartment in New York in 2017. The actress used a trust to make the $5.64 million purchase. It was her mother, Jules Mann Stewart, who was listed as the trustee. It seemed only fitting that the actress, who has rejected the glitz and glamour kind of lifestyle to have purchased the particular apartment—the 3,000-square-foot raw space, three-bedroom, two-bathroom unit on the second floor on Bond Street. The house was an authentic artist’s loft. The listing was very clear though, about the state of the apartment, stating that it was going to need some renovations. (Source: Variety)

Fell Off The Wagon

While she was still dating Robert Pattinson in 2012, Kristen Stewart once admitted that she quit smoking and has put the dirty habit behind her. When she was asked about smoking, Kristen playfully revealed that she has given up the dirty habit, but did not want to talk too in-depth on the matter. However, sometime later, pictures of Kristen Stewart with a cigarette dangling from her mouth while taking out the trash surfaced. What was odd about it was that KStew walked around for a while with the full cig but did not light it. She told Conan O'Brien that to quit smoking had not been difficult for her because she was never addicted to nicotine, she was addicted to "having something in her mouth." (Source: DailyMail)
