Her latest film sees her play a reclusive gym owner who begins a steamy romance with a bodybuilder – a role which left her ‘turned on’.
No doubt inspired by the raunchy-nature of Love Lies Bleeding, Kristen Stewart has left little to the imagination while promoting the LGBTQIA+ crime-romance, which will be released across the UK in the summer.
Embracing the erotic, dark and sexy themes of the thriller, her latest fashionable ensembles have included some of her most daring and racy displays to date, just weeks after surprising fans with her Rolling Stones cover featuring a jockstrap.
On Tuesday, the Twilight star, 33, showed off her toned legs as she and fiancée Dylan Meyer arrived at Late Night With Seth Meyers in New York for her guest appearance to promote the thriller.
The actress rocked a pair of tiny navy athletic shorts with a white trim and a matching navy Chanel t-shirt, before completing the look with a pair of leg warmers from the French label, dark red heels, and sunglasses.

Earlier in the day, Kristen flaunted her sensational figure in one of her most eye-popping ensembles yet as she was spotted out in New York City.
The stunning actress – who seems to be taking a page from Julia Fox’s style book – left little to the imagination in chic knitted underwear, an exposed bra and red high heels.
Rocking an open shirt and a pair of ruby sunglasses, she carried a black Chanel handbag, complementing her look as she slicked back her messy brunette tresses.
The outing came a day after she set pulses racing in a barely-there outfit for her appearance on the Stephen Colbert Late Show to discuss the new crime-romance film.
As she arrived at the Ed Sullivan Theater, where the late-night show is filmed, the Oscar nominee wore a pair of black stilettos and semi-sheer thigh-high stockings.
She wore a barely-there black top and long skirt, teamed with a pair of black sunglasses, Chanel handbag and her dark locks in a sleek ponytail.
A number of her tattoos were on display including the logo for 7-Eleven on her left elbow, a black rectangle with an eye in the centre and a light bulb as the iris on her right forearm and tiny domino dice on her wrist.
Earlier this month, Kristen stole the spotlight at the Love Lies Bleeding premiere in Beverly Hills, by sporting a barely-there black bodysuit from Better.

The Love Lies Bleeding star layered the look with a sheer black blouse which she chose to leave unbuttoned at the front.
Finishing off her daring ensemble, she donned a pair of ankle boots, a silver-chained necklace and several shimmering rings.
Kristen has previously has teased that her sex scenes in the thriller will ‘shock people’ as she criticised intimate moments on screen as being almost mechanical.
‘They don’t take their clothes off, but this is going to shock people,’ she told Variety Magazine in an interview.
‘All you ever see is a dress coming up and a head going down under. I think even hetero sex on film is so rote… No one actually really wants to reveal themselves.’
Kristen also said she found it ‘really sexy’ to portray a more masculine character, rather than the traditionally feminine roles that propelled her into the spotlight.

She explained: ‘There was something about having the things that I have found attractive be really glorified.
‘It was really sexy, and I don’t mean from an outsider’s perspective: I felt turned on by it, and it was cool to have people witness that.’
Love Lies Bleeding is the second feature film from writer and director Rose Glass, which she co-wrote alongside Weronika Tofilska.
The thriller follows Lou (Kristen) and Jackie (Katy O’Brian) as they form an electric romantic connection, but Lou’s father’s violent business dealings quickly start to impact their relationship.
The synopsis reads: ‘Reclusive gym manager Lou falls hard for Jackie, an ambitious bodybuilder headed through town to Vegas in pursuit of her dream.
‘But their love ignites violence, pulling them deep into the web of Lou’s criminal family.’
Love Lies Bleeding features a whole host of stars making up the ensemble cast including Dave Franco, The Hunger Games’ Jena Malone and Anna Baryshnikov.
Kristen’s appearances come after she spoke about the reaction to her Rolling Stones cover during the Berlinale International Film Festival in Berlin.
‘The existence of a female body thrusting any type of sexuality at you that’s not designed for exclusively straight males is something people are not super comfy with and so I’m really happy with it,’ the Oscar-nominated actress said, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
For the magazine photoshoot, the Los Angeles native adorned a jockstrap and basketball shorts, striking poses within the backdrop of a weight room.
She spilled the beans on her creative vibe for the photoshoot, mentioning how she absolutely ‘loved’ being in the spotlight’ for it.
‘It’s okay to take different pictures and mix them up in a way that people aren’t used to and want to go and that’s okay, too,’ she said.
‘In fact, it’s pervasive and it’s everywhere and it’s being denied and it’s crazy that there aren’t more pictures like that.’
Kristen, who identifies as bisexual, conveyed that she believes the time of exclusively defining films as ‘queer’ is a thing of the past.
‘I think things develop and move on,’ she said. ‘It’s just so inherent to how we’re all moving forward.’
Love Lies Bleeding was released theatrically in the United States by A24 on March 8, 2024, and will be released in the United Kingdom by Lionsgate UK on May 3, 2024.
