Kristen Stewart showed off her androgynous style as she arrived for a screening of her forthcoming film, Seberg, in a maroon suit with a contemporary twist.

The Twilight star, 29, made an entrance wearing high-waisted, wide-leg trousers and a jacket featuring oversized white buttons and ruffled cuffs.

She complemented the look with a toned smokey eye and dark red lipstick.

Seberg, who died in 1979 aged 40, was targeted by FBI director J Edgar Hoover in the 1960s for her political and romantic involvement with civil rights activist Hakim Jamal.

Stewart was joined by Australian theatre and film director Benedict Andrews, known for his stage productions of Shakespeare and Chekhov, at the BFI Southbank.
