Get shorty! Platinum blonde Kristen Stewart shows off some serious leg in a pair of hot pants 

She is known for her grungy style but no one ever said edgy can't be sexy too.

Kristen Stewart legged it - literally - into a promotional event on Monday.

The 26-year-old wore a much more flesh-flashing look than usual for a series of appearances in New York.

As the Twilight actress leapt out of her car, at first glance it looked as though she was just wearing a jacket.

With the black tailored coat fastened at the front, just a hint of her white T-shirt was visible and nothing else.

However, as she attended another event, the jacket came undone to reveal she had not forgotten to put on pants after all.

Not that she was wearing a lot in the way of pants, with Kristen opting to wear a pair of tiny black shorts that were perfect for showing off her legs.

Her white T-shirt was also much smaller than the baggy vintage ones she normally wears, with Monday's top cropped to show off her flat stomach.

The Cafe Society star finished off the look with a pair of red and white lace up shoes and some reflective lens glasses.

Kristen recently went platinum blonde and wore her white locks styled back from her face.

The trailer Personal Shopper was recently released and while the name suggests it is about fashion, it is actually a thriller.

Certain Women is a film about three strong women making their own way in the Northwest and also stars Laura Dern and Michelle Williams.
