Kristen Stewart is glam beyond recognition on the September 2011 cover of W magazine.
The 21-year-old Twilight star got a little help from Edward Enninful, who styled the shoot, photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.
Stewart admits she auditioned for Twilight before reading any of the popular book series, but tells the mag it later felt like a great fit.
"I fucking love me a vampire [Laughs]. I was 17 when I read Twilight, and at the time it was so perfect for me," she says. "The script was about young kids who think they can handle stuff that they just can’t. And they’re going to do it anyway. Because, why not? Just torture yourself. I relate to that. Vampires are a little dangerous—and we girls like to test ourselves."
Stewart also acknowledges she often comes across awkward in the press, but that she's not ungrateful for her current position.
"You want so badly for people to see what you do—you’re proud of it—and I like the effect that movies have on people. But the attention can also make me uncomfortable. In certain situations, people say to me, 'C’mon, what’s wrong with you?' I apologize. I love what I’m doing, but I’m a little uncomfortable."
