Stewart returns in red carpet event

Kristen Stewart has made her first public appearance since her split from Robert Pattinson, and said: "I'm doing fine."

The Twilight star had kept a low profile for two months since it emerged she had an affair with her married Snow White And The Huntsman director Rupert Sanders.

But she has now returned to the spotlight in front of hundreds of screaming fans when her new film, an adaptation of Jack Kerouac's novel On The Road, was screened at the Toronto Film Festival.

The star, with her hair swept back, wore a sheer-sleeved and knee-length slim fitting sequinned floral dress as she walked the red carpet on black stilettos.

She signed autographs for fans as she kept her composure and spoke about her new film.

Kristen, who plays Marylou in the cult story, said she had long been a fan of the tale, which was inspired by the travel experiences of Kerouac and his friend Neal Cassady.

She said: "I've loved this book since I was 14 or 15 years old and I never imagined that I was ever going to be considered for a part like that. I was able to grow up a few years before the movie was greenlit, thankfully.

"I think knowing now the things about the people that made it happen, the people who are responsible for why the story exists, we would have done anything, we would have laid down our entire selves for them."

"It's really rare to come across experiences like that," she added.

Kristen's appearance comes just as it was revealed she told Vogue she wanted to have children with R-Patz, in an interview given just weeks before her affair was exposed. She told the magazine: "My God, I'm so in love with my boyfriend. I think I want to have his babies."
