 'It's practical,' she revealed. 'I mean, I'm not going to be able to have touch-ups once they put the helmet on my head.'

The actress is referring to her new role in Underwater, directed by William Eubank, in where she plays a mechanical engineer who works on an oil rig. 

She says it wasn't required for the role, but when the director suggested it as part of her character, Kristen decided to go for it.  

The actress opted to wear a floor-length silver gown with a high neckline that sat close around her neck.

The dress showed off her broad, thin shoulders at the front and hung down loosely around her toned body. 

The front of the dress was fitted with pocket detailing to give the gorgeous gown a more casual feel. 

Kristen, who has always maintained a trim figure, looked ravishing from the back as the dressed showed off her tiny, toned frame and elegant back.

The Twilight star decided to go with very dark makeup around her eyes, which helped create the contrast between her edgy new hairdo and the elegance of her premiere gown.

She wore very little highlighter or other makeup on her face and chose to wear a very neutral lipstick to allow her eyes to really pop.

Personal Shopper is a psychological thriller which centres on a ghost story set in the fashion underworld of Paris.

Kristen's character is grieving the death of her twin brother, and spends time at his Paris home determined to make contact with his spirit.

The film has received rather mixed reviews, but it seems reviewers are not blaming Kristen for the quality of the picture.
