No more princess gowns for Dakota!

The 19-year-old actress often wears very girly fashions on the red carpet, but this time she went with a very casual—but super fashionable—ensemble composed of a navy blue blazer, a loose black top, and baggy, satin pants from Mango.

We have to admit, it’s quite startling to see the 18-year-old actress all dolled up on the cover of Glamour, as she rarely wears makeup on her pretty face.

Dakota, who hasn’t quite left her jailbait image behind, playfully walks the line between innocent and provocative on her latest magazine cover, where she sports doll-like makeup, luscious blonde ringlets, a cropped Mickey Mouse sweater (showing the tiniest hint of stomach), and a sequined skirt.

The newly brunette actress left her poufy princess gowns and pretty in pink ensembles behind and decided to try for pure drama and glamour at the first red carpet premiere of “Breaking Dawn – Part 2,” which was held on Monday.

The final installment in the “The Twilight Saga” franchise—“Breaking Dawn – Part 2″—premiered on Monday at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live in California.

Every “Twilight” premiere is considered a major affair (obviously) but the anticipation for this one was noticeably more intense than any of the other premieres due to the fact that it would also mark the first public appearance of lead stars and real-life couple Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, who recently got back together after months of estrangement and an unconfirmed breakup, since Kristen’s cheating scandal with married director Rupert Sanders in July.

DAKOTA FANNING talked about living in the spotlight and her “Twilight” co-starKRISTEN STEWART‘s controversial cheating scandal in the upcoming issue of InStyle UK, which also featured her on the cover.

Dakota Fanning, who has established herself as a successful actress (a Screen Actors Guild Award-nominated one!) for starring alongside big shot actors like Sean Penn, Robert DeNiro and Denzel Washington when she was a lot younger, gave InStyle UK the privilege of doing a cover story on her for their December issue.

It’s hard to remember that Dakota, who rose to prominence in Hollywood for her performance in “I am Sam” at the tender age of 7, is no longer a child. Because after all, despite the fact that she’s done lesbian kissing scenes and “sexually provocative” perfume ads, the 18-year-old actress still dresses like a little girl… most of the time.
