Okay, so, a few days ago I was scrolling through my social media feeds, and I saw this photo of Kristen Stewart, you know, the actress from “Twilight” and a bunch of other movies. But this wasn’t just any photo. She was on the cover of Rolling Stone, and let me tell you, it was bold. She was wearing a jockstrap, and her hand was placed in a very… suggestive way.

I did a double-take for sure. It’s not every day you see something like that. I mean, Kristen Stewart has always been one to push boundaries, but this was on another level. I immediately started to read up about it, because I was curious about the context, the reaction, everything.
I found out that this cover was for the newest issue of Rolling Stone. And apparently, she told the outlet that she wanted the photo shoot to be the “gayest” thing ever. Now, that’s a statement! I dug a little deeper and discovered that she’s been getting a lot of attention for it, both positive and negative.
Some people are all about it, praising her for challenging traditional gender norms and sexual stereotypes. Others, not so much. They think it’s too much, too provocative. I even read that she addressed the critics at the Berlin Film Festival, where her new movie “Love Lies Bleeding” was being screened. She’s not backing down, that’s for sure.
I went down a rabbit hole of articles and social media posts, trying to understand all the angles. I learned that the photo shoot wasn’t just about the jockstrap. There were other pictures where she was in different stages of undressing and working out. It seemed like it was all part of a bigger statement she was trying to make.
Then I stumbled upon this other story about how James Franco was supposedly “enamored” with her at the Toronto Film Festival. The article said there was a lot of flirting, and she was loving the attention. I don’t know how true that is, but it definitely added another layer to the whole Kristen Stewart narrative.

I also read that she had some roles in the films “Charlie’s Angels” in 2019 and “Happiest Season” in 2020. It seems like she’s been keeping busy beyond all this cover photo drama.
My Thoughts
- It’s definitely a conversation starter. I mean, we’re all talking about it, right?
- It’s bold. No doubt about that. Love it or hate it, you can’t deny that it’s a strong visual statement.
- It’s got people talking about gender and sexuality. Which is always a good thing, in my opinion. Even if it’s controversial, it’s making people think and discuss these topics.
- It’s very Kristen Stewart. She’s always been a bit of a rebel, and this just fits her whole persona.
So, yeah, that’s my deep dive into the whole Kristen Stewart jockstrap photo saga. It’s been an interesting ride, and I’m curious to see what she does next. Whatever it is, I’m sure it’ll be something worth talking about.
