Rosalie's Weird Cooking Scene in Twilight Has a Perfectly Reasonable Explanation

To say that Twilight became a universal phenomenon when it premiered in 2008 would be an understatement.

Although it was hated as much as it was loved, no one could deny the impact this vampire love story had on a generation. Even the biggest hater of them all, Robert Pattinson himself, came to admit his fondness for the franchise years later.

The production of Twilight wasn't as bad as the media made it out to be. Between a few questionable acting moments and one particular special effect that became a meme on the Internet, there was nothing to really get upset about.

However, there were some details that creeped out fans and left them wondering if there was a story behind it.

One of those details appears in a scene where Cullen is cooking dinner for Bella. Even though we all know how that went, it's hard not to admire the effort.

That is, until you notice that Rosalie is wearing black leather gloves throughout the entire process. There's nothing sinister in that alone, except for the weird vibe, but fans couldn't help but try to figure out the reason for it.

Well, they're in luck, because there's not one, but two reasons.

In reality, the shooting did not go as planned and Nikki Reed cut her finger during one of the takes. It was nothing major, but a bandage on a vampire would make even less sense than some fashionable gloves to cover it up.

It was a decision made out of practicality, not creativity, but the discussion it sparked may have helped with interest rates.

If you are looking for a reason to justify it from the character's point of view, the gloves could help Rosalie not to transfer the smell of human food onto herself.

After all, the last thing any vampire would want is to have that lingering scent on their fingertips.
