Bella brightens up!
Although Kristen Stewart, 20, is currently traveling the world to promote The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (out Wednesday), the actress is already gearing up for her next role in the film adaptation of a classic Jack Kerouac novel.

"Kristen is preparing to play Mary Lou in the 1950's drama, On the Road," her stylist, Frederic Fekkai's Adir Abergel, tells UsMagazine.com. "I wanted to bring her hair closer to her natural color: blonde."

To achieve the "flirty and feminine" hue, Adir teamed up with Clairol celebrity stylist Marie Robinson and pulled images from the '50s for inspiration.
Says Robinson, "We were hoping to achieve a light strawberry brown or dark strawberry blonde with honey-toned highlights around the face, ends and a few on the crown so it looked natural."
Stewart debuted her new look during a Monday appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman.

This isn't the first time the actress has switched up her locks for a role.
Last June, she stepped out with a raven shag to play Joan Jett in biopic The Runaways.

28i'm in love with kristen stewart, i love all her work.
Kristen finally gets in some color and it's in her hair... that's great!!!
i think she looks good and i like that dress 2!!
o shut the hell up michael R. bliss!
i think it's a goo look for her! = )
ahhhhhhhh...hello???? you dye your hair darker, you bleach your hair lighter... who writes this crap... they should "study up" geesh quit your day job and all your other one's...you might be able to serve fries at Mickey D's
It compliments her eye color and complexion so much more than the dark hair color.
Kristen looks beautiful, especially the lighter her hair color becomes. Those green eyes. I know why Rob loves her so much. He can't help himself!!!
What a beauty! She looks great as always.
I never thought she and Pattinson were dating in the romantic sense. In the beginning they told people over and over that they weren't dating; that they were friends. People just didn't want to believe them, so they stopped answering questions about it. Why would a director ( the one from the Twilight Movie) and their current producer fuel a relationship rumor except to play to their fans who desperately want them to be an item? Since they are virtually prisoners in their hotels while filming, it's not unusual that they would become friends. lol@ the name Parasite Hilton, I like that.
Her hair looks GREAT!
I love this color on her. She looks really beautiful.
She is so pretty but smokes way too much weed. She was stoned and drunk at the Kings of Leon concert a year ago, with her nerd boyfirend, Idk why everyone thinks shes dating Rob, must be for the movie.
NEWFLASH!! This just in: ... MY RETINAS ARE ON FIRE!!!!!! Redheads have their fans but .... looking at them is like someone flashing a laser pointer in my eyes to me. Of all the females on earth.. redheads are the one I am the least likely to ask out. Second only to some wild pigmy.
They're making On the Road into a movie? Holy crap...! Who'll play Kerouac/Sal? My favorite. I feel like a movie based on this book could be really fantastic or really bad.
They wanted light or dark strawberry blond. Too bad they ended up with Oompah Loompah orange.
Over rated and over hyped.
she is so gorgeous.. love her!!!
Wow, can't believe "On the Road" is being made into a movie. That was the worst book I ever read - totally pointless and written like an 8th grader.
I think that she is just beautiful. I think she has such a classic 1940's actress look about her.
