Kristen Stewart once again showed off her edgy new buzz cut as she stepped out in New York on Thursday, shortly after admitting she came out on Saturday Night Live because it "worked for the joke" she was telling in her monologue.

Currently promoting new film Personal Shopper, the 26-year old actress - who has previously been romantically linked with singer-songwriter St. Vincent - caught the eye in an on-trend bomber jacket as she exited her Manhattan hotel.

Displaying her abs in a matching black crop top, Kristen proved to be an engaging sight while making her way onto the sidewalk.

Stepping out: Kristen Stewart exited her New York hotel on Thursday after revealing she came out as gay on Saturday Night Live because it "worked for the joke" she was telling in her monologue

A frayed, thigh-skimming skirt exposed her slender legs, while a pair of polished dress shoes from Ariat rounded things off.

Keeping her eyes shielded behind a pair of heavily tinted circular sunglasses, Kristen listened to music through a pair of wireless headphones she took a break between promotional commitments on behalf of her latest film.

Her latest appearance comes after she told Saturday Night Live viewers she was "so gay" while hosting the television programme in February.

Kristen made the admission in front of a live audience as she lambasting US President Donald Trump, who heavily criticized the star in 2012 over her reported fling with director Rupert Sanders, while she was still in a relationship with Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson.

Reflecting on her decision to come out on the show, Kristen told E! News: 'Honestly, I thought it was just funny.

'Not to diminish the point because I think that saying things sort of bluntly is absolutely important, but at the same time, the only reason I haven't ever done that is because there is an ambiguity to that and I wanted things to be really real for me. But honestly, it just worked for the joke.'

While the actress didn't purposely use the platform to do something that was going to be "so important", she admitted to being "utterly proud" that people have thanked her for speaking publicly about her sexuality.

'It wasn't like this, "Let's do this thing that's going to be so important", I just thought it was a nice slight. And also yeah, 100 percent, I'm so utterly proud that I've had so many people be like "Thank you", and I'm like "No, thank you". It's kind of mutual. It's full circle.'

Discussing her decision to shave her head, Kristen revealed on The Today Show on Thursday: 'I’m doing a movie in a couple of weeks called Underwater, and I play a mechanical engineer that’s working on an oil rig on the bottom of the ocean floor, so, for me, it was like, it’s practical.

'I’m not going to be able to have touch-ups once I have the helmet on. I must shave my head. I wanted to do this for a long time for novel sake.

'At some point in your life you want to be able to do that [rubbing her head].The director suggested it. I was like: "That’s a great idea! You should take credit for that one, and I am game…It feels amazing. I just want to head bang all day."'

During her SNL appearance the actress quoted several tweets by the president, in which he accused her of cheating on Pattinson 'like a dog' and urged the actor to break up with her.

At one point, Trump even invited Pattinson to the Miss Universe pageant - prompting Kristen to say the mogul must have had a crush on the British actor.

Kristen also accidentally used the F-word during her opening monologue, clasping her hand over her mouth when she realized what she'd said, and joked that the president probably wouldn't like her because she was 'so gay'.
