Stewart expressed her satisfaction with the shoot, emphasizing the importance of challenging societal expectations.
During a press conference at the Berlin Film Festival, Stewart shared her positive experience with the Rolling Stone interview and playfully commented on the 'uncensored' title of the article juxtaposed with the cover's censorship. The actress sported a bold look for the shoot, featuring androgynous clothing and provocative messaging on her attire.

The actress emphasized the need for mainstream cinema to embrace diverse narratives and move beyond tokenistic representations of marginalized voices.
Stewart's collaboration with filmmaker Rose Glass on 'Love Lies Bleeding' was a significant milestone for the actress, who praised the script and the opportunity to work with a visionary director. The film challenges traditional notions of sexuality and strength, offering a fresh perspective on character dynamics.
As 'Love Lies Bleeding' prepares for its release, fans eagerly anticipate Stewart's bold and provocative portrayal on the Rolling Stone cover.
