Kristen Stewart Smiles for the Cameras at Paris Fashion Show

Things suddenly seem a little brighter for Kristen Stewart.

The On the Road actress, who had a difficult summer, to say the least, seemed in very good spirits Thursday in Paris, even giving photographers — notoriously her nemesis — a pose and a smile as she arrived for the Balenciaga fashion show on Rue Cassette. (Stewart is the face of the label’s new fragrance, Florabotanica.)

“It was a whole new Kristen,” one photographer remarked to PEOPLE.

If she felt good, the Twilight star certainly looked good, wearing a bright-yellow leather jacket, black top and patterned black slacks.

Her solo trip to the City of Light comes as Stewart and Robert Pattinson appear to be mending their relationship following the actress’s infidelities this summer.

Also on hand for the Balenciaga show was Salma Hayek; her husband Francois-Henri Pinault’s company, PPR, owns the design house.
