This picture of Kristen Stewart is causing a fashionable stir across the Internet. Apparently, while the actress was on set with Karl Lagerfeld - allegedly shooting a fashion editorial for the June issue of Vanity Fair - she was snapped giving someone quite an emphatic middle finger.
Was Kristen giving the finger to Uncle Karl behind his back or was the gesture intended for the paparazzi who were reportedly stalking the Twilight star during her Paris visit.
No word from Kristen's camp on who it was meant for... but judging from the picture who do you think that Kristen Stewart was giving the middle finger to?

Gillette has launched a fashionable new ad campaign starring a trio of style icons that targets men who style their facial hair.
The "Masters of Style" ad campaign launched this week and it's a new direction for the brand... after all, the traditional Gillette man has always been clean-shaven. The new ads feature Adrien Brody (the award-winning actor who recently strutted the Prada runway in Milan), Gael García Bernal (the pretty boy best known for his roles in Motorcycle Diaries, Babel and Y Tu Mama Tambien) and André 3000 (the Grammy-winning artist who has been conquering the fashion world with his Benjamin Bixby line) and there's not a clean-shaven face in sight.
The glossy ads and slick commercials are in support of Gillette's new Fusion ProGlide Styler, a 3-in-1 battery-operated shaving tool that allows men to trim, edge and shave their facial hair.
The new Gillette look reflects the findings of a new survey by the company, which found that about 40% of men in North America are styling their stubble.
The Gillette Fusion ProGlide Styler hits shelves across Canada in February.
Earlier this month H&M announced that they would be debuting a 30-second commercial for the highly anticipated David Beckham Bodywear line during the second quarter of the Super Bowl. Can't wait until Sunday? That's okay, H&M released the new spot a little early.
Here's H&M's new commercial featuring Becks wearing a pair of his white boxer briefs.
David's nine-piece Bodywear collection will be available in 1,800 H&M stores worldwide on February 2nd.
Trends, trends, trends! Here's a look at 5 different trends that dominated the red carpet at the 18th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s there was no model more sought after than Gia.
Gia Marie Carangi moved to New York City at the age of 17 and instantly took the fashion industry by storm. She redefined the standard of beauty and became one of the biggest models in fashion history. After she became addicted to heroin, Gia's fashionable career rapidly declined. She later became infected with HIV and died in Philadelphia on November 18th 1986 of AIDS-related complications. She was 26 years old.
Today would have been Gia Carangi's 52nd birthday. Here's a look back at 10 memorable images of the supermodel.

1. The famous "Dead" photo of Gia Carangi
Gia's famous "dead" shot that originally appeared as part of a fashion editorial spread in the November 1978 issue of American Vogue. Photographer Andrea Blanch shot the image.
Brand: Polo Ralph Lauren
Year: 1995
Model: Tyson Beckford
Tyson Beckford rose to fame and became a top male supermodel in the 1990s, starring in numerous high profile ad campaigns. This 1995 fall/winter ad for Polo Ralph Lauren was one of many that the Jamaican-Panamanian-Chinese heritage model shot for the label after his career exploded in 1994.
Tyson soon landed an exclusive multi-year contract with Ralph Lauren and he was praised by the designer for his "all-American look with a dramatic edge". Lauren claimed that Tyson: "conveys power, style and intelligence in a very exciting way".
Earlier this week Jean Paul Gaultier presented his spring 2012 couture collection in Paris. The runway show was an ode to Amy Winehouse and the fitted pencil skirts and corset dresses were an obvious nod to Amy's love for Fifties fashion. Today the late singer's father, Mitch Winehouse, is speaking out and is telling the press that the runway show was terribly upsetting for him and his family.
Jean Paul Gaultier's couture collection hit the Paris runway on Wednesday, just two days after the half-year anniversary of Amy's death. While Gaultier admitted that he had never actually met the singer, he explained that their "styles were similar" and the runway extravaganza was intended to be a "joyous" tribute to her iconic sense of style.
Mitch fired back and told British newspaper The Sun:
"The family were upset to see those pictures, they were a total shock. We're still grieving for her loss, and we've had a difficult week with the six month anniversary of Amy's death. To see her image lifted wholesale to sell clothes was a wrench we were not expecting or consulted on. We're proud of her influence on fashion but find black veils on models, smoking cigarettes with a barbershop quartet singing her music in bad taste. It portrays a view of Amy when she was not at her best and glamorises some of the more upsetting times in her life. That's upsetting for her family."
Mitch isn't the only person speaking out against Jean Paul Gaultier's Amy Winehouse tribute. Kelly Osbourne hit Twitter insisting that her late friend would have disapproved and called the French designer's tribute "lucratively selfish and distasteful".
To celebrate the launch of his exclusive Net-a-Porter masstige line Karl, Karl Lagerfeld teamed up with the online luxury retailer to create a crazy new video which features the legendary designer interviewing... himself.
Is Net-A-Poter's Karl Lagerfeld video pure genius or pure craziness?
UK-based Superlative Luxury is selling a one of a kind product they are calling "The Most Expensive T-Shirt In The World". The pricetag... $400,000.
The $400,000 t-shirt is made from purely 100% organic cotton and the manufacturers justify the cost by saying that the pricey tee was made using only renewable energy sources (solar and wind) representing a C02 reduction of 90% compared to traditional t-shirt production. There are also 16 diamonds (8 white diamonds and 8 'enhanced' rare black diamonds) bedazzled on the t-shirt, which amount to roughly 9 carats.
Would you buy a $400,000 t-shirt if you could afford it?
