Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron had a sweet reunion on Friday as they attended the 37th Annual Santa Barbara International Film Festival at the Arlington Theatre.

The glammed up duo posed together on the red carpet after the 31-year-old actress accepted the coveted American Riviera Award during the festival.

Kristen and Charlize, 46, famously starred alongside one another in Snow White And The Huntsman, which was released in theaters in June 2012.

In the live-action fairytale film, Charlize played the evil Queen while Kristen played a warrior-like version of Snow White.

For the festival, Kristen highlighted her svelte figure in a long, sheer black gown and showed off her glamorous side in a high ponytail.

Her flat stomach was exposed in the number, which featured a low-cut black and white ombre skirt piece on top of the dress. 

A black bra was visible underneath the high-fashion piece, which boasted a mock neck and flared out at the bottom. 

Kristen’s sleek updo sat atop her head and put her flawlessly made up face on full display.

Two thin strands were left out on either side of her face near her ears, which were free of jewelry.

She stunned in shimmering silver eyeshadow that brought out her green eyes. It was complemented by fluttery eyelashes and chic black eyeliner.

The Monster star looked gorgeous with her blond hair bulled back into an updo as she took photos with her fellow movie star.

Charlize and Kristen also graciously posed for photos with the festival’s executive director Roger Durling. 

Kristen was the recipient of the prestigious American Riviera Award at the 37th annual event.

Stewart accepted the trophy by saying she’s “in such a good place to receive it.” Before the heartfelt presentation from Theron, a Chanel couture-clad Stewart sat opposite Indiewire editor-at-large Anne Thompson for a Q&A about her career. The main event featured clips from her career including such films as Panic Room, Zathura: A Space Adventure, Into the Wild, Adventureland, Still Alice, The Runaways, Twilight, Happiest Season, Clouds of Sils Maria, Personal Shopper and, of course, Spencer.

The 31-year-old has been in the public eye the majority of her life, but when asked to open up on the moment she knew just how famous she truly was, Stewart said it had a little something to do with paparazzi and marijuana. “Two days before Twilight came out, I remember I was sitting on my porch with my dog and I got papped for the first time…sitting there smoking a bowl,” she said. “I look back on that moment with fondness.”

Same for the franchise. Of Twilight, Stewart said, “All of its faults are its strength because we just wanted it to be the best it could be,” she told Thompson. “We were all so young.”

In addition to juggling a busy awards season and all the commitments that come with it, Stewart admitted that she’s busy packaging a film that will see her make her feature directorial debut. “I’m trying to put a movie together right now,” she said. “I have a couple of balls in the air. I’ll tease you with that, but I’m very excited. The worst thing is when you can’t tell everything to everyone all at once.”

Though she didn’t reveal details, Stewart has been attached to direct The Chronology of Water, an adaptation of the memoir by Lidia Yuknavitch. In front of the camera, she next stars opposite Viggo Mortensen, Scott Speedman and Lea Seydoux in David Cronenberg’s Crimes of the Future. “I’m a masochist,” she revealed of acting. “I love how scary it is.”

The 37th Santa Barbara International Film Festival, presented by UGG continues through March 12, with appearances to come from Will Smith, Nicole Kidman, Javier Bardem, Penélope Cruz, Aunjanue Ellis, Benedict Cumberbatch, Ciarán Hinds, Caitriona Balfe, Ariana DeBose, Alana Haim, Emilia Jones, Troy Kotsur and Simon Rex, among others.
