American actress Kristen Stewart was BOTD in 1990. Born in Los Angeles, she was a child actor, making an impressive screen debut in David Fincher’s 2002 thriller Panic Room opposite Jodie Foster. She attained global celebrity as Bella in teen vampire film trilogy Twilight, becoming Hollywood’s highest paid actress by 2012. She wisely changed direction towards independent films, appearing in Still Alice with Julianne Moore, portraying actress Jean Seberg in the biopic Seberg and won a César Award for her role as a personal assistant in Olivier Assayas’ film The Clouds of Sils Maria. Her portrayal of Princess Diana in Pablo Larrain’s surrealist biopic Spencer established her as a transformative and risk-taking performer, earning her an Oscar nomination. She quickly earned LGBTQ icon status with roles as a lawyer romanced by Lily Gladstone in Kelly Reichardt‘s Certain Women and as a gangland diesel dyke in Rose Glass’ noir thriller Love Lies Bleeding. She made her filmmaking debut as writer-director of the psychological drama The Chronology of Water, released in 2025. Openly queer since forever, Stewart has had relationships with men and women, including her Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson, Alicia Cargile, Stella Maxwell and St. Vincent. She married her long-term girlfriend Dylan Meyer in 2025.
