The On the Road actress was forced to use them to help her make her way onto the red carpet after she stepped on glass. 

The star's makeup artist, Beau Nelson, tells PEOPLE she "cut the ball of her foot, quite severely, on glass two days ago." But a true pro, Stewart, 22, managed to pose for photographs without any crutches, showing off her cream-colored Reem Acra gown. Nelson adds that Stewart is in "a little bit of pain" and it was a scramble to find suitable flats!

Anne Hathaway, holding her new Oscar, ran into Kristen Stewart, who was on crutches, backstage.

"Oh no!" Hathaway said.

"I know, I'm an idiot," Stewart replied. "But congratulations!"

"Please tell me you're going on stage with those," Hathaway said, pointing to the crutches.

"Nope. I'm gonna hobble," Stewart said.

"Well, break a leg," Hathaway said. "Oops."

Stewart said she stepped on glass.

"I just hope it doesn't open up right now," she said backstage.

US

Indeed, Stewart's glam squad told Us Weekly more about the young star's injury. "She had sliced her foot and everyone was worrying about would she wear heels or flats or one heel, crutches or no crutches," manicurist Ashlie Johnson told Us. "She tried so many options, she was really a trouper."

"Kristen was nervous about her crutches so having her friends around playing music was just what she needed," hairstylist Danilo said. "We all were trying to make her feel better and her friends were trying to tell her she'd be fine, she has insecurities about being in front of people so today was even tougher."

SheKnows

Kristen Stewart was struggling beyond belief with her crutches down the red carpet. She would pass along her crutches to a publicist, hop on over to a photo area, and then hobble back to retrieve her crutches. It appeared she was in a bit of pain and probably suffering from exhaustion after limping down the 500-foot red carpet.
