“I think it’s hilarious. I don’t know what all the hype is about. I just took a mugshot and went on with my day,” she said.

Stewart told the People that she gained thousands of followers and comments.

“There are some beautiful mug shots. I don't think mine's particularly stunning,” Stewart said. “I actually think it's a bad photo of me. If you see me in person, I don't really look the same as I do in that mug shot. I don't think it's a great photo of me.”
