For the cover, Stewart has been given a typically Vogue glossy hair-over, but it hasnt stripped her personality – she still looks like a rock chick, albeit a slightly more polished one who wears Gucci dresses.

The image from inside the magazine, also released to the Guardian, is a bit more typical of Stewarts styling. A Balenciaga vest – K Stew likes a bit of Balenciaga – worn with a leather miniskirt by Isabel Marant, and a gold leather blazer by Just Cavalli. Theres also a bright snap of a blue ear-ring swinging from one ear, her mane of hair is thrown gloriously to one side, while those brilliant legs are crossed in a fashion-shoot perch in front of some serious gilt. All in all, she looks pretty fabulous.

In the interview to accompany the shoot, Stewart talks about her public image, which post the R-Patz cheating debacle, has come under even more scrutiny. Were getting the impression that either the interview was done before said scandal, or that the subject was deemed off-limits. In any case, she says: "I know if you havent thought about how you want to present a very packaged idea of yourself, then it can seem like you lack ambition. But, dude, honestly? I cant. People expect it to be easy because there you are, out there, doing the thing that you want and making lots of money out of it. But, you know, Im not that smooth. I can get clumsy around certain people. Like, if I were to sit down and think, OK, Im really famous, how am I going to conduct myself in public? I wouldnt know who that person would be! It would be a lot easier if I could, but I cant."

Meanwhile, she also talks about her upcoming project, an adaptation of On the Road, where she expresses an affinity with the Beat generation. "There is always going to be that seam of people who want things differently to the standardised version. Its not necessarily a rebellious thing, its just who they are. That world back then, it just seems freer to me than anything I could ever touch and Im fully nostalgic for it, even though I wasnt even alive then … Its the loyalty aspect of it all. I love being on the periphery with a group of people who have the same values that I do. People who dont get off on fame, who just like the process of making movies and thrive," she says.

The Kristen Stewart drama ensues. After her brazen public apology to her (ex?) boyfriend, Robert Pattinson, for cheating on him with director Rupert Sanders, the young Hollywood starlet has decided to avoid the spotlight by reportedly dropping out of her next movie, Cali. She had been set to star in the romantic drama opposite Magic Mikes Alex Pettyfer, and rumor has it that Amber Heard will be her replacement.

While calling it quits because shes blue over a boy probably isnt the most professional thing to do, Breaking Dawn Part 2 director Bill Condon made some good points in Stewarts defense in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly. He said, "The fact is, these are actors playing parts, and maybe it’s not such a bad thing that people be reminded of that. Both of these actors gave heart and soul to the Twilight movies, not only during shooting, but also by navigating so graciously the whole life-in-a-fishbowl aspect of the phenomenon. Above all they have always shown great respect for the fans who made these movies such a success. Now it’s time that some of that respect be returned to them."

 

Pattinson will be publicly opening up for the first time on TV since the scandal broke when he appears on The Daily Show on August 13 and then Good Morning America on August 15.
