Here are some great photos from the New York premiere of The Runaways. I cannot get over how Dakota Fanning is growing up before our eyes. She really is turning into a beautiful young woman with a very classy style. Even though I’m not a huge fan of a nude, beaded cocktail dress, DakFan is still a cutie, and she does look age-appropriate (she’s 16 years old). As for Kristen Stewart… well, she didn’t look horrible. I kind of liked her very detailed dress even if the fit was weird on the bust. But in too many of these photos, K-Stew once again looks like she’s mid-eye roll. She needs to stop coming to these events after taking a bong hit, for real. Still, I can tell that she’s trying to make an effort, so maybe that’s a subtle improvement.

Once again, Joan Jett and Cherie Currie also walked the red carpet. These two ladies look pretty great too.

Dakota also made an appearance on Jimmy Fallon’s show last night, and she’s already the subject of some complaints that her image is already too sexualized. You know, because she and K-Stew make out in the film, and because Dakota has long legs and wears skirts on the shorter side, I guess. Considering she’s not wearing Miley Cyrus-esque booty shorts and pole-dancing on the Teen Choice Awards, and is instead simply playing a part of a sexualized teenager, I think we should just give Dakota a break.
