Beyond the Mirror: 10 Actresses Transforming How We See Beauty on Screen (5 of 6)

Kristen Stewart

Once known as the reluctant face of a blockbuster franchise, Kristen Stewart has evolved into a bold style icon who blurs the lines between convention and rebellion. Her willingness to embrace androgyny, challenge red-carpet norms, and explore complex identities on screen has expanded Hollywood’s definition of feminine beauty.

Janelle Monae

Janelle Monae’s artistry thrives at the intersection of music, film, and fashion. With roles in Hidden Figures and Glass Onion, Monae channels beauty as self-expression rather than expectation. Their unapologetic embrace of queerness, gender fluidity, and creative freedom makes them one of the most transformative figures redefining what beauty and visibility in Hollywood look like today.
