Public opinion of her deteriorated a bit following her role in the Twilight franchise ''Twilight'', partly due to [[IAmNotSpock her being considered indistinguishable from the bland Bella Swan]]. Stewart also came off as a bit of a ShrinkingViolet at the time and appeared to not enjoy being famous and seemed to preferred her pre-''Twilight'' life. She has opened up considerably since, however, with her comfort in the public eye seeming to develop alongside a growing post-''Twilight'' appreciation for her acting skill.

After finishing the ''Twilight'' series and portraying Literature/SnowWhite in ''Film/SnowWhiteAndTheHuntsman'', she returned to small independent films. Her acting fortunes appear to have been looking up since 2015, as she became the first-ever American actress to win a César (the French version of the Academy Awards), Best Supporting Actress for ''Film/CloudsOfSilsMaria''. In 2021 she starred in ''Film/{{Spencer}}'' as Princess Diana and gained a great deal of critical acclaim, and an [[UsefulNotes/AcademyAward Oscar]] nomination, for her performance. Since late 2013, she has also been the ambassador for renowned fashion brand [[UsefulNotes/CocoChanel Chanel]].

However, after her role in ''Twilight'', public opinion of her has deteriorated a bit. Stewart, who comes off as a bit of a ShrinkingViolet, makes it pretty clear that she does not enjoy being famous, doesn't like the series, and generally preferred her pre-''Twilight'' life.

* SugarWiki/SheReallyCanAct: Zig-Zagged. She was pegged as a rising talent in movies like ''Panic Room'' and ''Zathura'', but her casting in the ''Twilight'' series made many believe she [[DullSurprise lacked expressiveness or range]]. Then she became the first American actress (and only the second American actor) ever to win a César Award (basically, the French Oscars), for her performance in ''Film/CloudsOfSilsMaria''; as far as the critics were concerned, all her ''Twilight'' sins were forgiven, or at any rate blamed on bad writing. The fandom is taking a little longer to catch up. There were some who had doubts about her being cast as Princess Diana in ''Spencer'', but following the film's premiere she gained widespread acclaim for her performance.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: She claims she was offered script to the sequel to ''Film/SnowWhiteAndTheHuntsman'' but turned them down, not finding them to be very good. It eventually materialised as ''Film/TheHuntsmanWintersWar'' in which Snow White only appears in archive footage and from behind, played by an obvious body double.

Stewart is openly bisexual, and has been in several high-profile relationships with both male and female celebrities.

She has also played Literature/SnowWhite in ''Film/SnowWhiteAndTheHuntsman''. After finishing the ''Twilight'' series, she returned to small independent films. Her acting fortunes appear to be looking up in 2015, as she became the first-ever American actress to win a César (the French version of the Academy Awards), Best Supporting Actress for ''Film/CloudsOfSilsMaria'', and since late 2013, she has been the ambassador for renowned fashion brand [[UsefulNotes/CocoChanel Chanel]].

* FakeBrit: As Diana, Princess of Wales in ''Spencer'' and sort-of in ''Snow White and the Huntsman'' (Snow White is technically from a fantasy realm yet speaks with a British accent). She's actually pretty good at it, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbM6KWSftzU&feature=related as this clip from Conan showcases]].

* ''Spencer'' (2021): [[UsefulNotes/TheHouseOfWindsor Diana, Princess of Wales]]

** She turned eighteen while filming the first ''Twilight'' movie and continued to play Bella across four more. Bella is eighteen by the end of the franchise, while Kristen was in her early twenties.

* FakeBrit: As seen in her ''Film/SnowWhiteAndTheHuntsman'', she's actually pretty good at it, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbM6KWSftzU&feature=related as this clip from Conan showcases]].
* FunnyCharacterBoringActor: Inverted. She's quite the jokester in real life, whereas her most famous character tends to be dull.

** Rather scandalously with Rupert Sanders on ''Film/SnowWhiteAndTheHuntsman'', as the two were both in relationships.

** She visibly shaved her hair entirely with a engineering-centred role in an upcoming film ''Underwater'', citing her consideration of it as a safety hazard in real life; she has however been quick to confess she wanted to shave her head for some time, and took the idea to her director before doing so.
