Kristen Stewart sheds her girl-next-door image for something sexier during her cover shoot for the September issue of Vanity Fair France.

Kristen Stewart is leaving no stone unturned in her attempt to break away from her "Twilight" image. Though the actress became a household name with the series and is still known to many as Bella Swan, the films also branded her as a typical girl-next-door actress. Since, she's starred in many other projects but has failed to distance herself from her "Twilight" image.

In yet another attempt, the actress looks nothing less than sexy as she poses for her cover shoot for the September issue of the magazine. In one shot, the 24-year-old radiates sex appeal as she crouches with her back against a wall in a black dress pulled off one shoulder and hitched up to show off her shapely thighs. In another, she looks red-carpet ready in a stunning, knee-length gown with a high neck and long sleeves heavily embellished from the waist up with gold and crystal beads.

The actress is also the cover girl of Elle magazine's September issue. Stewart continually faces scrutiny over her constant pout, and it looks like the actress has no plans of turning her frown upside down for the cameras. The 24-year-old revealed that she believes that no matter what she does with her facial expressions, people would complain about her regardless.

 "Now I feel like if I smiled for a paparazzi photo - not that I ever would -that's exactly what people would be desecrating me for," Stewart explained to the magazine.

For her spread in Elle, the "On the Road" star posed inside the Fields Market in West Hills, Calif., where she gave fierce looks to the camera while standing in front of produce and canned goods.

During her interview with the magazine, Stewart recalled when she first realized that she had reached a new level of fame. The former child star became an instant celebrity following the release of the first "Twilight" film in 2008.

Reflecting on the moment, she said, "The day the movie came out there was a picture of me - in the New York Post. I was sitting on my front porch, smoking a pipe with my ex-boyfriend [Michael Angarano]. And I was like, 'Oh s**t, well, I have to be aware of that.'"

Stewart has been making headlines for her alleged romance with Nicolas Hoult, who just spilt with his girlfriend Jennifer Lawrence. Reportedly, Lawrence is quite upset with the two and their relationship.

"It's been only a few weeks since Jennifer Lawrence broke it off with Nicholas Hoult, but Kristen moves fast! Kristen, who stars as Nicholas' lover in their upcoming film 'Equals' is making her move...K-Stew is sweet on Nick. This is so low-class from Jennifer's point of view. As far as she's concerned, she and Nicholas are just on a break," OK! Magazine reported.

Stewart and Hoult are currently in Tokyo, Japan, to co-star as lovers in "Equals", and rumors of them being more than just friends or co-stars emerged after photographs of them on a dinner date went viral. Although it is normal for two co-stars to go out for dinner, the date comes just a few days after the split between Hoult and Lawrence made the rounds.
