Kristen Stewart in her youth
Kristen was born in April 1990 in Los Angeles, California. The girl spent her childhood in the states of Colorado and Pennsylvania, and only when she was eight years old, the family returned to Los Angeles.
In an interview, Kristen, who made her film debut at the age of 8, admitted that as a child she did not dream of becoming an actress, but she liked to sign autographs to anyone who asked.
In 1998, during the performance of the song in a school Christmas production, a talent search agent drew attention to it. A year later, Kristen made her debut on the Disney Channel in the comedy TV movie “The Thirteenth Year”. So began Stewart’s acting career, for which she dropped out of school after the seventh grade and switched to homeschooling.
Film career
Kristen got a serious role a couple of years after “The Thirteenth Year” in Rose Troche’s independent melodrama “The Safety of Objects”.

The role in the film “Panic Room” by the cult director David Fincher, released in 2002, brought Kristen a nomination for the Young Actor Award. Stewart was in no way inferior to Hollywood stars Jodie Foster, Forest Whitaker, and Patrick Bosco, who was engaged in the film and played the role so convincingly that critics compared her to the famous Jodie Foster in her youth. Foster herself noted that Kristen does not throw out all the emotions at once and in the end, it turns out to be an interesting, smart game.
This was followed by the role in the thriller “Cold Creek Manor” (2003). Stewart’s career began to gain momentum when the teen comedy “Catch That Kid” (2004) was released on the screens, in which the performer played the main role. At the same time, the psychological drama “Undertow” was released.

In 2021, Kristen starred in the film “Spencer”. Stewart played the role of Princess Diana. The actress approached this role with extreme seriousness. She hid from journalists for a while, not wanting to discuss criticism after her approval for the role of a princess. In one interview, she admitted that she wanted not just to play Diana, but “to get to know her unconditionally.” A lot of effort had to be made to “catch” the voice of the princess, her unique accent. Many fans are sure that Stewart does not look like Princess Diana.
Did Kristen Stewart have plastic surgery?
The appearance of the girl began to be actively discussed in the press at the time of the release of a series of fantastic films based on the books of Stephanie Meyer’s “Twilight”. Since then, the debate about her beauty has not stopped: some consider her a refined and attractive girl, others criticize her angular forms.
We studied Kristen Stewart’s photos and watched several films with her participation in the main roles to understand why her appearance causes so much controversy and whether her beauty can be called ideal from the point of view of aesthetics promoted today in modern society.
The actress prefers bold images and restrained makeup with lipstick in nude tones. The star skillfully focuses attention on huge expressive eyes, distracting from thin lips.
Stewart has been trying for many years to get rid of the imposed romantic image of the girl in love with a vampire. And she succeeded: And she succeeded: Kristen wears outfits that sometimes emphasize a very modest breast size.
She does not have a complex about small breasts and loves herself the way she is. But in Hollywood, rumors keep popping up that Stewart visited a plastic surgeon and had a boob job.
Did Kristen Stewart have a nose job?
The actress once said that she thinks women who voluntarily go under the knife of a plastic surgeon are crazy. Really, Kristen? And how, then, did you miraculously change the shape of your nose? Is it just a successful makeup or was it rhinoplasty after all?
