Kristen Stewart is BAFTA's Rising Star

Kristen Stewart picks up the BAFTA Rising Star Award - as Robert Pattinson watches from the audience

Twilight fans might have been disappointed to see that Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson dodged the paparazzi yet again, walking the BAFTA red carpet seperately, but they'll be thrilled to learn that their favourite leading lady has picked up the award's Rising Star accolade.

Ms Stewart, who has starred in flicks such as Into the Wild and Adventureland, fought off fierce competition from the likes of Carey Mulligan and Nicholas Hoult to bag the prize, which is the only  gong at the ceremony to be voted for by the British public.

A good night for the starlet, not only has she clearly impressed cinema-goers, she wowed the fashion critics too, dazzling in a gorgeous, ruffled Chanel gown.

Avoiding the sea of waiting paps, Pattinson, her co-star and rumoured beau, arrived later, and looked slightly bedraggled, clearly caught in the evening's downpour.
