In the week that the royal family debuted their Photoshop skills, we also saw highs and lows at the Oscars, all the glam at Melbourne Fashion Week and the start of Ramadan.

One image to catch our eye features actor Kristen Stewart stepping out in New York City. She is currently promoting her new film Love Lies Bleeding, a violent epic about a gym manager falling for a bodybuilder and becoming entangled in a life of crime along her side. 

Take a look at the rest of this week’s best photos from around the world below.
