Kristen Stewart beat out Emma Watson, Kate Middleton, Emma Stone, Taylor Swift and every other woman in the world for the top spot on Glamour UK‘s Best Dressed Women of 2013 list. Now, despite the fact that the actress topped the British publication’s 2012 list as well, people’s heads are exploding Internet-wide.
Here are some of the reactions on Twitter:
Glamour UK dubbed Kristen Stewart as #1 in their list of 50 best dressed women. That’s a joke, right?

I’d like to speak to Glamour UK and ask them if the list is “no specific order” bit.ly/12sEySe

Glamour UK named Kristen Stewart the best dressed actress 2nd year in a row. I had no idea British mags are run by 12 year old girls…

What a nice slap in the face to Liberty Ross, seeing Kristen Stewart (not a Brit) nominated Best Dressed by Glamour UK.

Let’s set aside the actress’ past indiscretions and talk about the issue at hand. Even if you love Stewart (as I do) and hate seeing people come down so hard on her for winning something (it’s not like she nominated herself), you’ll have to agree on at least one point: she was a surprising choice. Next to runner-up Emma Watson, who’s never stepped out in public looking anything less than picture-ready, it’s practically Stewart’s hobby to show up on red carpets with unwashed hair, weird printed pants and a glower. Despite her close relationship with former Balenciaga designer Nicolas Ghesquiere, she seems to resent the red carpet and the fashion community more than most starlets — and that makes her awesome, but it’s not clear that makes her best dressed.
