When did Dakota Fanning get so cute?!  The Push star stopped by The Late Show with David Letterman last night dressed in a flattering (and age-appropriate) navy romper, long beads and black and silver heels. 

I think Dakota is well on her way to become an "it girl" and she certainly has the acting chops to back it up.  Although she's a poised young woman today (wow I sound like a mom) remember when tiny Dakota needed Orlando Bloom's help to reach the mic at the Critic's Choice Awards?! Check out this vintage clip; so cute!

    

Screaming teens! Screaming teens!

Last night's Push premiere was packed full of the under 25 set.  Check out Joe Jonas, Camilla Belle, Dakota Fanning, Kellan Lutz and Ashley Green stop to meet and greet fans outside the Chinese Theater in Hollywood.

Dakota Fanning rocked the red carpet in a silver dress at the premiere of Push in Los Angeles last night.  The sci-fi thriller co-starring Camilla Belle, Chris Evans and Djimon Hounsou centers around three teens who have telekinetic and clairvoyant abilities and are hiding from a clandestine U.S. government agency. They must utilize their different talents and band together for a final job enabling them to escape the agency forever.

The stars were joined by Twilighters Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene as well as Djimon's baby mama Kimora Lee Simmons.  Push opens in theaters on February 6. 

           

Whoa, Dakota Fanning is way grown up!  We spotted the actress in West Hollywood with her mother Joy this afternoon; the pair were shopping for dresses at Marc Jacobs.  Designer dresses and fancy hand bags?!  You've come a long way girl!  I dig Dakota's style, it's a bit like Jenny from Gossip Girl minus the overly razored hair and sloppy eye make up.

     

Wasn't Dakota Fanning like, 6-years-old yesterday?!  Now 14, the actress shows off her "grown-up" side in a black cocktail dress at the premiere of the Secret Life of Bees in Hollywood last night. 

Dakota stars as Lily Owens, a 14 year-old girl who is haunted by the memory of her late mother. To escape her lonely life and troubled relationship with her father, Lily flees with Rosaleen, her caregiver and only friend, to a South Carolina town that holds the secret to her mother's past. Taken in by the intelligent and independent Boatwright sisters, Lily finds solace in their mesmerizing world of beekeeping, honey and the Black Madonna (plot courtesy of IMDB).
