Kristen Stewart debuts blonder locks at THR’s Oscar Nominees Night in Beverly Hills

Twilight alum Kristen Stewart looked like every bit the San Fernando Valley Girl while debuting her blonder locks at The Hollywood Reporter’s Oscar Nominees Night, which took place at Spago in Beverly Hills on Monday.

The 30-year-old César Award winner’s shoulder-length hair appeared noticeably darker when she attended the Oscars Nominees Luncheon earlier that same day.

Hairstylist Adir Abergel worked his magic to make Kristen’s hair look softer, lighter, and more elegant with a simple side part.

Stewart went strapless in a white tube top, light pink pencil skirt, and white pumps selected by stylist Tara Swennen.

Make-up artist Jillian Dempsey brought out the Chanel brand ambassador’s hazel eyes and natural brows as well as applying her bronzed cheeks and pout.

Kristen was joined on the black carpet by Pablo Larraín, who directed her emotional performance as Princess Diana in Spencer.

Stewart and the 45-year-old Chilean filmmaker later hung out with Oscar-winning screenwriter Taika Waititi during the A-list cocktail party.

By the time she was inside Spago, the former child star – famed for her luxe and grunge style – kicked off her heels in favor of socks and sneakers.

Pablo’s critically-acclaimed 1991-set psychological drama scored Kristen her very first Oscar nomination for best actress.

Stewart faces heavy competition for the coveted golden trophy against Jessica Chastain, Olivia Colman, Penélope Cruz, and Nicole Kidman.

The homeschooled millennial hasn’t picked out a dress to wear to the 94th Academy Awards – airing March 27 on ABC – and she hasn’t written an acceptance speech.

‘I’ll give it some thought, as soon as I can put one together. [I’m] very unprepared,’ Kristen admitted to Variety on Sunday.

‘Obviously, I didn’t start making movies to be an Oscar nominee. I bet as a little guy, I was probably like, “Yeah, if you’re going to do something, you should do it right.” But now, I can’t believe it.’

When Stewart first heard the news on February 8, she and her fiancée Dylan Meyer celebrated with a game at Los Feliz 3-Par Golf Course alongside her gal pals at Neon.

‘We played nine holes in Los Feliz,’ the bisexual beauty recalled.

‘We all became really good friends, so we were just like, “Let’s go hit some balls into small holes!”‘

Kristen confirmed she got engaged to the 34-year-old Moxie screenwriter while appearing on the November 2 episode of The Howard Stern Show.

Stewart and Meyer began dating in 2019 after meeting in 2013 on the set of a movie (most likely Camp X-Ray).

Before Dylan – she reportedly romanced Sara Dinkin, Stella Maxwell, St. Vincent, Soko, Nicholas Hoult, Alicia Cargile, Lane Garrison, Rupert Sanders, Robert Pattinson, Michael Angarano, and the late Anton Yelchin.

But first, audiences can catch Kristen competing for the best actress trophy at the postponed 27th Critics’ Choice Awards, which air next Sunday on The CW/TBS.

On October 16, Stewart wrapped her role as Timlin on the Athens, Greece set of David Cronenberg’s sci-fi drama Crimes of the Future, which will likely screen at the Cannes Film Festival in May.

‘It’s set in a world where people have evolved to a point where we don’t feel physical pain,’ she told Screen Daily in December.

‘Sex has changed quite a bit, and the new art form is growing organs. Viggo [Mortensen] is a famous performance artist. Léa Seydoux is his partner who tattoos these organs and displays them. My character becomes enamored with Viggo’s artist.’

Last October, Kristen also began casting her feature directorial debut The Chronology of Water, which she adapted from Lidia Yuknavitch’s 2010 memoir.

Also glamming up for the bash was The Power of the Dog scene stealer Kodi Smit-McPhee, whose stylist Jared Eng paired a black double-breasted suit with bizarre green boots.

The Australian 25-year-old – who scored a best supporting actor nod for his role as Peter Gordon – was dutifully joined at Spago by his girlfriend since 2014, Rebecca Phillipou.

West Side Story star Ariana DeBose – who’s up for best supporting actress as Anita – twirled her orange plunging gown and golden heels selected by styling duo Zadrian Smith + Sarah Edmiston.

Hairstylist Takisha Sturdivant-Drew coiffed the 31-year-old Hamilton alum’s updo and make-up artist Andréa Tiller brought out her natural beauty.

Speaking of the stunning Steven Spielberg remake, Yurel Echezarreta – who played Sebas – looked sharp in a brown floral suit over a white button-up and beige loafers.

Summer of Soul director Questlove – who’s the frontrunner for best documentary – rocked several silver chains with his all-black attire and Adidas x Yeezy ‘Foam Runner’ slip-ons.

The 51-year-old Roots drummer – who shared a laugh with Mixed-ish star Tika Sumpter – is best known for being the bandleader on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Questlove (born Ahmir Thompson) also hung out with five-time Grammy nominee Chlöe Bailey, who also plays Jazz Forster in Grown-ish.

Hairstylist Sparkle coiffed the 23-year-old R&B songstress’ giant ponytail and stylist Jennifer Udechukwu selected her black sheer corseted gown.

Chlöe chatted with Schmigadoon star Dove Cameron (born Chloe Hosterman), who dropped her debut single Boyfriend last month.

The 26-year-old Daytime Emmy winner wore a leather blazer over a matching cut-out mini-dress and platform Mary Janes selected by stylist Erin Walsh.

The THR event served as a glamorous date night for America’s Got Talent judge Heidi Klum and her third husband, Tokio Hotel guitarist Tom Kaulitz.

The 48-year-old Emmy-winning host rocked a feathered cropped jacket over a baby blue crop-top, pencil skirt, and matching boots selected by stylist duo Rob Zangardi + Mariel Haenn.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills ‘friend’ Kathy Hilton got close with her husband of 42 years – Hilton & Hyland chairman Richard Hilton – at the industry party.

NCIS actor Wilmer Valderrama embraced his fiancée of two years – Scout Model Amanda Pacheco – during a candid moment at Spago.

Four-time Daytime Emmy-winning producer Karrueche Tran happily reunited with her Games People Play castmate Sarunas Jackson who, at 6ft8in, is well over a foot taller than her.

The 33-year-old Claws diva flaunted her fit 5ft1in figure in a red cut-out pancil dress and trendy white pumps selected by stylist Bryon Javar.

13-time Oscar nominee Diane Warren rocked a blue pantsuit and patterned scarf while her best original song rival DIXSON covered up in a plaid trench coat.

Opting for shades of grey and black were We Are Who We Are actor Jack Dylan Grazer, Winning Time star DeVaughn Nixon, and Trish & Scott heartthrob Matthew Noszka.

The Conners star Emma Kenney looked like a lady who lunches in a red rose-print pencil dress and black slingback heels.

Spago chef Wolfgang Puck mingled with the likes of Belfast star Ciarán Hinds – who’s up for best supporting actor – and Oscar-winning documentarian Roger Ross Williams.
