Kristen Stewart Follow Gigi Hadid and Kendall Recently
It looks like Kristen Stewart is taking style notes from “it” girls, Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner.

There was no doubt about it, Jess turned a lot of heads in the getup. I mean, she looked like a bombshell so how can you not take a glance? Wow. Very sexy indeed....
