Kristen Stewart may not have wanted to be outed -- but out she is. The actress, whose mother accidentally confirmed her relationship with Alicia Cargile in an interview, held her head high and soaked in the spotlight when she attended The Women in Film 2015 Crystal + Lucy Awards last night.

The brunette may have shunned the red carpet at the event but she still beamed when she turned up onstage beside Twilight author Stephenie Meyer. The A-list event, which was also attended by Nicole Kidman, Sandra Bullock, Jill Soloway, Ava DuVernay, was produced and designed by Tony Schubert, who is also designing the pre-party for this year's highly anticipated ESPYs.

For the swanky ceremony, the surly star donned a sexy cut-out Proezna Shouler frock for the event in Century City, California. We were happy to see the Adventureland actress turn up to the awards show despite the recent media storm about her sexual orientation.

Over the weekend, the Mirror's Sharon Feinstein published a story in which Jules Stewart spoke about her daughter's rumored same sex relationship. “What’s not to be accepting about her now having a girlfriend? She’s happy. She’s my daughter, I’m just her mom so she knows I would accept her choices. I’ve met Kristen’s new girlfriend, I like her. What’s not to accept? She’s a lovely girl.”

However, Jules later denied the quotes, saying that the two never discussed her famous daughter.

Jules told Us Weekly, “I spoke to Sharon Feinstein about my film K-11 that has been put on display in the Hollywood Museum. It’s currently there under the LGBT banner on the third floor. She also asked me about my views on gay rights, which I was happy to express. Then we talked briefly about the fundraiser I am hosting for TheWolfConnection.org. Never ever did we discuss Kristen!”

The reporter has published a statement on her blog:

    I am aware that Ms Jules Stewart has stated that her interview with me has been used out of context, that she never discussed her daughter or her daughter’s relationship. That is simply incorrect.I have reported the story as discussed and memorialized during our lengthly and cordial formal interview, which took place on Thursday 11th June. I am disappointed and saddened by her statements to the contrary This was a very positive story and one told by a loving parent. Any statements to the contrary are simply not supported and not true.
