JULIETTE BINOCHE, 50, LOOKS QUITE YOUTHFUL WHILE POSING WITH CO-STAR KRISTEN STEWART, 24 FOR SMOULDERING MAGAZINE COVER

The Oscar-winner smolders into the camera with her smoky eyes as she models an asymmetrical dress.

Meanwhile, the Twilight star avoids eye contact displaying her metallic bronze eyeshadow and revealing her bare shoulders on the cover.

With each woman sporting wet hair, the two get close to one another for an intimate embrace.

In the issue, Stewart and Binoche reflect on their time together while working on the film in the Swiss Mountains.

Kristen recalls her favorite memory from working with the veteran actress: 'We did get lost while hiking! You ran off like a f*****g mountain goat and I stumbled behind you and was miserable.'

'But I have to admit that I kind of enjoyed it. At least in hindsight,' she added.

And surprisingly Juliette was already fond of the Snow White And The Huntsman star thanks to extensive research on the actress.

Speaking to Kristen she remarked, 'Of course I googled you. Why? I needed to know whom I am supposed to meet and play with.

'I did watch some interviews of yours and instantly decided that I like you.'

Binoche even admitted, 'I also watch On The Road - and skipped Twilight.'

'Although I have to admit that the first time I ever saw you was on my daughter's walls. I remember walking into her room thinking: So what the hell is this about?' 

Sources have said that the pair have become good friends since wrapping production on the film.

Clouds Of Sils Maria sees Juliette play aging actress Maria Enders who becomes fascinated by her personal assistant, Stewart, and a younger star, played by Chloe Grace Moretz.

The movie follows Maria's reaction when Moretz's character signs on to play the very same role which made the older actress famous.

Kristen had nothing but kind words to say about her elder co-star when she told Women's Wear Daily, 'she is one of the most powerful women I think I've ever seen.'

'It takes two very particular people to have that relationship be functional - one that services the other - because Juliette Binoche is playing the actress that I assist.'
