From tough tomboy to punk-rock princess to freshly minted glamour girl, Kristen Stewart's style has been a hot topic among advocates, adversaries, and ambivalent audiences for over a decade. While the leading lady has made a few questionable choices — who hasn't? — we applaud her ability to blend her signature no-fuss style with high-fashion haute couture.

Kristen's social calendar is jam-packed with exclusive events, but having Balenciaga, Chanel, and Zuhair Murad, just to name a few, on speed dial gives Stewart free rein to select the most heart-stopping creations, ensuring her turn on the red carpet never wavers.

In honor of Kristen's 26th birthday we're taking a look back at the ravishing red carpet moments that have earned Stewart style icon status.

During London Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2010, Stewart made a statement in a metallic silver Burberry miniskirt.
We couldn't get enough of the embellished gold Elie Saab gown that Stewart wore at the Germany premiere of Breaking Dawn Part 2 in November 2012. She showed off a pair of Christian Louboutin cage heels — and lots of leg — thanks to the gown's thigh-high slit.
Stewart went ultraglam in Roberto Cavalli for the London premiere of Breaking Dawn Part 1 in November 2011.
The star exuded a retro-chic vibe in a flirty fringed number for Twilight's Rome International Film Festival premiere in 2008.
All hail the punk-rock princess. During Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2013/14, our favorite vamp hit a fashion high note, donning a white double-breasted bouclé jacket with black leather hot pants, then accessorizing with a pair of cutout Jean-Michel Cazabat pumps, a slew of brilliant bangles, and knockout fingerless leather gloves.
Stewart married black and blue in a lace-paneled, fit-and-flare dress for the Madrid photocall of Snow White and the Huntsman in May 2012.
An ethereal, one-shoulder Herve Leroux gown was the look of choice for the Tokyo premiere of Twilight in February 2009.
The chain-link trim on Stewart's Azzaro LBD elevated her West Hollywood premiere style in February 2010.
Stewart hit the red carpet at the 2013 Kids' Choice Awards in March wearing a smart, structured, dark-blue printed shorts set by Osman.
As modern-day punk royalty, we counted on Stewart to bring her edgy A-game to this year's Met Gala — and the actress didn't disappoint. The brunette beauty stunned in an oxblood lace-inset jumpsuit — complete with coordinating eye shadow and nail polish — studded pumps, and a mirrored box clutch, all by Stella McCartney.
Stewart stepped up the rock factor, donning a Rock & Republic metal mini with ankle-cuff sandals, at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards.
For the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival premiere of Into the Wild, the actress rocked a flirty sheer-detailed dress with matching accessories.
Stewart's frothy Valentino minidress looked absolutely stunning against her porcelain skin for an NYC screening of New Moon in 2009.
The vampire vixen attended the 2012 Teen Choice Awards in a casual-slash-dressy style: a decadent satin Roberto Cavalli blazer, sleek black leather pants, and patent leather Christian Louboutin pumps.
For the 2010 MTV Movie Awards, the actress styled a sassy gold and black Dolce & Gabbana mini with crisscross black sandals for a uniquely glam look.
Stewart chose a showstopping Oscar de la Renta gown for the LA premiere of New Moon in November 2009.
While attending the 2010 NYC screening of Welcome to the Rileys, Stewart channeled her inner glamour girl, working a lacy one-shoulder Valentino mini with classic black heels.
Vampire or not, Stewart sparkled in a dazzling Reem Acra minidress at the 2011 People's Choice Awards.
For the 2012 Berlin photocall for Snow White and the Huntsman, Stewart displayed her killer curves in a sophisticated printed sheath by Derek Lam and classic black pumps.
For an award ceremony in December 2012, Stewart chose a lace- and sequin-embellished Talbot Runhof gown and finished it off with classic black pumps and a dainty Cartier bracelet.
Stewart looked phenomenal in an embroidered Balmain two-piece ensemble and gold Christian Louboutin pumps at the Snow White and the Huntsman Sydney premiere in June 2012.
Stewart kept it sweet and simple in a lightly embellished Azzaro LBD at the Love Ranch LA premiere in June 2010.
Stewart dazzled in a decadent Emilio Pucci strapless for the NYC premiere of The Runaways in March 2010.
The Twilight star chose a sophisticated Prabal Gurung minidress for Eclipse's 2010 premiere in South Korea.
For the 2008 MTV Music Awards, Stewart slipped into a printed sheath and pointed-toe black pumps.
The brunette beauty wore a feminine blue lace Stella McCartney mini with matching suede pumps for the Kids' Choice Awards in March 2012.
Featuring a one-shoulder cut and bubble skirt, Stewart's LBD was anything but ordinary in December 2008.
Stewart stole the show at the November 2012 premiere of Breaking Dawn Part 2 in a revealing sheer lace Zuhair Murad gown — the strapless, nude-colored dress left little to the imagination and solidified her place as a red carpet vixen.
Kristen opted for a more playful style, rocking a black jumpsuit, for the 2008 MTV Movie Awards in Universal City, CA.
Stewart attended the 2012 Cannes Film Festival premiere of On the Road in a printed Balenciaga gown, featuring a sexy thigh-high side slit, and perfectly tousled waves.
