She's the demure, often sullen-faced star of one of the world's biggest movie franchises.
And Kristen Stewart appears to be channeling the Hollywood of old in a new shoot with GQ magazine.
The actress, 21, appears to have been styled in a retro manner for the set of pictures which evoke a bygone era, when Hollywood was a little more innocent (on the surface at least).

Kristen, who plays Bella Swan in the Twilight series, is seen reclining in a clingy red dress in one of the photos from her impressive shoot.
Channeling the likes of Kathryn Hepburn and Jane Seymour, the dark-haired beauty ppears perfectly suited to the retro look.
In another shot she poses in a bikini, but not the miniscule kind typically worn by women in photoshoots of today.

The swimwear again appears to have been snatched from a bygone era, Kristen's porcelain skin and dark styled locks matching her poolside outfit.

On the front cover too, she reclines on a sun lounger in the new pictures which were taken by photographer Norman Jean Roy.
Her glamorous makeover was a departure from the star's typical look, which is a lot more casual and 'tomboyish'.
In fact, during her interview with the men's magazine Kristen herself admitted that she'd undergone quite a transformation for the shoot.
She said: 'I looked like a boy for a long time. Now I feel like a woman.'
Miss Stewart recently revealed that she was not initially attracted to one of her new roles, as Snow White, but became interested after realising the new version was a very different take on the classic character.
'She truly does not let her heart cloud her mind,' the Twilight actress told Entertainment Weekly earlier this summer. 'Also I get to have a sword and stuff, and really cool weapons.
'This girl has the amazing ability to channel fear, things that people are typically afraid to do, into this really focused, really charged, driving energy,' she added.
The film - the first in a planned trilogy - is slated to be released in cinemas next year.
Stewart also appears as MaryLou in the adaptation of Jack Kerouac film On the Road, and stars in penultimate Twilight instalment Breaking Dawn, which will be released in November.
