Kristen Stewart is 25! Despite Robert Pattinson's engagement to FKA Twigs, K-Stew is doing better than ever. She's loving her time with Alicia Cargile and just took home a huge César when she won best supporting actress for Clouds of Sils Maria!
In fact, Stewart was the first American actress to ever take home a César. Opening up to The Hollywood Reporter, Stewart explained that it’s always been about doing good work, not being a celebrity.
Stewart had always been uncomfortable in the spotlight. But she’s learned to adjust recently. “If you think about the source of it all, which is really the big, big, big green monster of cash, there’s just no way that that’s stopping,” Stewart said.
“It’s a new industry – celebrity news is a whole new form of entertainment – and it’s a huge, booming, f-cking money-making industry, so why would it stop?” Stewart continued.

“I love what I do and so it’s worth protecting,” Stewart continued. “Hopefully, one day people’s priorities will shift a little bit. Unfortunately, onto somebody else.”
Stewart’s also having a great year in her personal life. While Pattinson is moving on with FKA Twigs, Stewart has been moving on with Cargile. Rumors that Stewart and Cargile are dating have been swirling for months. And the two were most recently seen getting coffee on Wednesday.
Stewart has no bad feelings about Pattinson and FKA Twigs’ engagement. “She has her own life and has moved on,” a source said. “Kristen lives a much more low-key life now and seems happier.”

Stewart seems to have finally found peace after her Twilight and Pattinson days. Here are five ways Stewart has grown in recent years.
1. Stewart Got Used To The Spotlight
During her Twilight days, Kristen Stewart always seemed to hate the spotlight. She always looked really uncomfortable. But Stewart hates that people think she didn’t care. She did care.
Stewart just didn’t know how to handle the spotlight. But Stewart has finally gotten used to the spotlight and seems much more comfortable in the public eye these days.
“I totally have changed, just in the way that I can deal,” Stewart said. “It’s not like they were right, but they weren’t wrong. I don’t think I was conveying myself as easily. I was just totally overwhelmed. The impression just wasn’t as spot on. I’m a little older and I’m more experienced with it. It’s easier to talk to you guys about it. But initially, it was just kind of impossible."
"When you’re put on the spot and you can’t think – it was a ridiculous version of that. It blew up in my face," K-Stew continued. "It’s hilarious that the perception is that I don’t care, because when that was happening, I was like, ‘Oh my god, no one cares more than me!’”
2. Stewart Took On Roles She Loved
Stewart’s been gaining a lot of critical acclaim for her roles in movies like Still Alice and now Clouds of Sils Maria. And Stewart takes choosing her roles very seriously.
“To commit to the responsibility of bringing a character to life … I know it sounds funny to think about it in those terms, but unless there is just an undeniable urge, an insurmountable … ‘I would have put my whole life on the fact I can play this part’ – it’s not a responsible thing to take the part,” Stewart said. “So it feels like they sort of choose you a little bit.”
3. Stewart Embraced ‘Twilight’
Stewart may have been uncomfortable with the spotlight, but she has embraced her time working onTwilight. “But the intention is so f-cking pure in a weird way. Anybody who wants to talk sh-t aboutTwilight, I completely get it, but there’s something there that I’m endlessly, and to this day, f-cking proud of. My memory of it felt – still feels – really good,” Stewart said.
4. Stewart Switched Up Her Style
Stewart has been sporting a more edgy and sophisticated style these days. And she’s been more into style and fashion lately. Stewart recently starred in Chanel’s latest eyewear campaign and previously starred in Chanel’s handbag campaign. “Typically I wouldn’t see myself as being the quintessential face of Chanel with the pearls and the classics,” Stewart said.
“But I liked stepping into that role and this suits me a little bit more than past collections because it is very American," she continued. "I can’t use the word bad-as- but there is something about it that is fun … fierce.”
5. Stewart Took Time For Herself
Stewart has been taking more time for herself lately. She's been writing, painting and even directed a music video! “I’m just like painting and really enjoying it,” Stewart explained. “My mom’s a painter. I was just really excited to come off two years of solid work and to use my hands and not just my mind.”
