Kristen Stewart showed off a bold new look as she lead the stars The IndieWire Honours Winter Film Awards.

The Twilight star, 35, turned heads as she debuted a striking new hairstyle while accepting the Maverick Award at the ceremony in LA on Thursday. 

Kristen was seen with her dark locks styled in a ponytail with short choppy bangs and an undercut - in a stark change from her platinum bleached tresses. 

She also wore a pair of sheer white Calvin Klein leggings and a vest exposing a pair of pants underneath. 

Kristen paired the look with a black satin oversized blazer and matching stilettos, accessorising with a silver chain necklace and tinted sunglasses.   

Meanwhile actor Jacob Elordi was honoured with the Wavelength Award alongside prosthetics artist Mike Hill for their take on The Creature in Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein. 

Jacob looked dapper as he arrived a brown short collared leather jacket with a pair of paper-bag pants, a white shirt and red patterned tie. 

Also in attendance was Adam Sandler, who was honoured with the Vanguard Award.

Adam kept it casual for the ceremony in a white zip-up sweatshirt featuring colourful stripes and a pair of brown corduroy pants and trainers.   

Elsewhere actress Chase Infiniti, who is known for One Battle After Another and limited series Presumed Innocent, accepted the Breakthrough Award. 

She put on a glamorous display in a blush pink satin co-ord, featuring a cropped capped sleeves top with black lace appliques and a matching maxi skirt.  

German actress Nina Hoss, who accepted the Spotlight Award, wore a sheer high-neck black gown with a draping skirt. 

South Korean singer-songwriter Ejae was also in attendance as she accepted the Spark Award alongside KPop Demon Hunters Chris Appelhans and Maggie Kang.

She looked elegant in a light blue silk figure-hugging gown featuring scalloped bra cups and thin straps.

Last month Kristen said she is 'so angry' over the 'devastating' lack of progress following the MeToo and Times Up movements in 2017-18, which were supposed to help level the playing field for women behind-the-scenes in Hollywood.

The Oscar nominee cautioned she was 'in a severe state of PMS' while presenting her seven-minute keynote speech during the Academy Women's Luncheon in LA.

'In a post-MeToo moment, it seemed possible that stories made by and for women were finally getting their due, that we might be allowed or even encouraged to express ourselves and our shared experiences, all of our experiences without filter,' Kristen said at the Academy Museum.

'I can now attest to the bare-knuckle brawling that it takes every step of the way when the content is too dark, too taboo, when the frankness with which it serves up observations about experiences routinely experienced by women, frequently provokes disgust and rejection.'

Kristen - decked out in head-to-toe Chanel SS/26 - continued: 'We can discuss wage gaps and taxes on tampons and measure [inequality] in lots of quantifiable ways, but the violence of silencing, it's like we're not even supposed to be angry. But I can eat this podium with a fork and f***ing knife. I'm so angry.'

She went on to say that 'the backsliding from a brief moment of progress is statistically devastating.'

'Such a pitiful number of films from the past year have been made by women. We obviously need many more women's luncheons in our lives. We need to become ladies who lunch all the f***ing time,' Kristen stated.

'There are too few of us. We're all here together now, and it seems like there's a lot, Jesus Christ, there's not. It's not our fault. Sure, our business is in a state of emergency, man, and you know the last thing that I wanna do here is lose the celebration under a pile of p***ed off rubble.

'We are allowed to be proud of ourselves and maybe to allow each other to reclaim the gratitude we've all become talented at performing and really taste it from the inside out.'

Kristen stressed that she is 'not grateful to a boys' club business model that pretends to want to hang out with us while siphoning our resources and belittling our true perspectives.'

'Let's try and not be tokenised. Let's start printing our own currency,' the homeschooled millennial declared.

Kristen was joined at the feminist function by her wife Dylan Meyer, whom she tied the knot with on April 20 after six years of dating.
