It's hard to believe there was a time before Twilight. Even harder to imagine a time when Kristen Stewart's every move (not to mention every strand of hair and shade of eye shadow) wasn't documented in the press.

The pale and slightly awkward teenager who burst onto our screens as Bella Swan in 2008 is now the type of bona fide beauty icon who gets courted by the likes of Karl Lagerfeld to sit front row at Chanel couture.

This is not entirely an accident though. K-Stew has shown us over the years that she knows the importance of a recognisable beauty formula. Hers relies heavily on a graphite, smoky eye, flawless pale skin and well-groomed, though still delicate, eyebrows that frame her knowing stare.

Then there's the braiding thing. Because if we're honest, we've sort of become obsessed with the malleable texture that makes Kristen's hair a dream to braid (or so we imagine). It was bad enough with the fishtails and milkmaids, but now she's got us coveting corn rows too. Whatever next?
