At the NYC screening for her new movie On the Road, Kristen Stewart struck a pose in a white Balenciaga button-down blouse, contrast-waist ALC trousers ($415), and strappy Jimmy Choo sandals. We especially love the way she worked her top: tucking it into her pants and leaving it open to reveal a satin charcoal tank. The actress accessorized with a silver open cuff, matching ring, and square gold pendant, then completed her screening style with smokey makeup and an effortless updo. Shop Kristen's exact trousers to pair with a white button-down and strappy black sandals for a menswear-inspired style or pair them with this white peplum Tibi blouse ($250) for a feminine twist.
