Based on her overall look and the cheating saga she went though in 2012, actress Kristen Stewart has been known to be somewhat rebellious, at least that’s what she appears to be from the outside looking in.

And now she’s bound to add to that rebellious girl reputation, since she just dyed her hair a bright orange color. But the hair coloring has to do with a new role the actress is playing, not a personal style choice, however it’ll be interesting to see if she keeps the new do after the project has officially wrapped.

“Kristen Stewart gettin her hair ready for a new role. #American #awesomecolor #houseofhair,” read an Instagram message written next to the photo.

The new color not only completely changes the 23-year-old’s entire appearance, it brightens up her face and her overall demeanor a little, because the whole goth thing that Stewart usually goes with gives her a bit of a drab look.

The actress has talked about her appearance in past interviews, and even said she plans to chop off all her hair one day, however, she can’t do that now since she’s always in front of the camera.

“If I wasn’t an actor, I would definitely do things to my hair,” admitted Stewart. “I would cut it more, I would dye it more. At some point I want to do a total boy cut, completely. Not a pretty girly version. Like a straight up James Dean haircut.”

In addition, the Twilight star said when she dresses casually she really tries to under-dress, and when she wants to get all spruced up she doesn’t hold back.

“I really like extremes,” said Stewart. “I wear jeans and t-shirts and am a total tomboy, but at the same time, when I pull out all the stops, I want to f–king go for it, polarized in the other direction from my reality.”
