Kristen Stewart on Her Platinum Blond ‘Do: I Wanted to

You may have noticed something very different about Kristen Stewart…

The actress recently showcased a platinum blond ‘do that’s a vast contrast from her usual brunette locks, and while some may be quick to (understandably) assume that the change is due to a movie role, that wasn’t the case.

Basically, K.Stew finally had some time to do what she wanted with her looks, so she decided to “f–k up” her hair (her words, of course).

“I just did like five movies over a two-year period, and I think it’s a very good decision for me right now to stop acting in movies for just a moment, and I’ve never really done that, I’ve never changed my appearance,” she tells People.

“I’ve always really stayed neutral since I was like 10 years old, so I was like, ‘I’m gonna direct a short, and I’m gonna f–k up my hair.'”

So, that’s what she did—well, not “f–k up” her hair, because we think it looks pretty good, but you catch our drift. And perhaps this is just a foreshadow of a lot of new hairstyles to come our way from the star.

Stewart recently stunned on the red carpet at the Cannes film festival, where she also spoke out against the famous event’s alleged heels-only policy.

“Things have to change immediately,” Stewart told Indiewire’s Anne Thompson during a round-table conversation for the film Thursday.

“It has become really obvious that if [a man and I] were walking the red carpet together and someone stopped me and said, ‘Excuse me, young lady, you’re not wearing heels. You cannot come in.’ Then [I’m going to say], ‘Neither is my friend. Does he have to wear heels?’ It can work both ways.”

As Stewart makes evident, the rule is inherently unequal. 

“It’s just like you simply cannot ask me to do something that you are not asking him,” she continued. “I get the black-tie thing but you should be able to do either version—flats or heels.”
