Hollywood Crush › Cherie Currie

Finally we're at the day of the "The Runaways" theatrical release (though it still in only limited theaters)! Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning recently sat down and told MTV News how they felt about the various looks they had to portray in the biopic about Joan Jett and Cherie Curie.

Dakota said she had a lot of fun portraying Cherie's three distinct looks, but Cherie's silver look (and major silver eye shadow!) was her favorite. "The silver one was very important, because that's like the 'Cherry Bomb' look. So it was cool to be able to experiment with that and actually be able to do makeup that you can look at in a photograph and actually look like that when you're done," she said.

It's been more than two months since "The Runaways" first debuted at Sundance, and now finally the film will be hitting (select) theaters. Though some fans will have to wait until early April to see Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning in their turn as Joan Jett and Cherie Curie respectively, MTV News brought the young actresses back to the moment when they first had to play the musicians.

Both said they were extremely nervous when walking onto the set for the first time as their real life alter egos were there to greet them. Dakota said having to play someone who was going to be in the room at the same time she was performing them was one of her biggest fears going into the movie, but that wasn't the only one.

If you're going through "The Runaways" withdrawal, don't worry, we've got your fix right here (yep we're kind of awesome)! Last week we brought you all the red carpet looks from the L.A. premiere of the new bio-pic starring Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning and this week it's on to The Big Apple. The stars hit the red carpet, decked out in designers duds (spoiler: we didn't love all the looks). Anyway, check out the post below for our fashion recap and let us know what you think!

Kristen, you've officially won us over. We haven't always been easy on your sense of style (let's face it, you've had some rough moments), but lately you've been hitting all the right notes. We'll be honest, we weren't sure if Kristen would be able to top her dress from the LA premiere of "Runaways," where she rocked a hot pink Doo.Ri dress, which we absolutely loved, but she came pretty close last night by appearing in a strapless, beaded Pucci dress that was youthful but also glamorous. We kind of wish the shoes had been a little more delicate, and we would have loved to see her wearing a touch more jewelry, but overall the look worked well and wasn't overdone. Oh, and we should also note that we definitely liked the slicked back hairstyle (mainly because she finally decided to change it up!).

We’ve been watching her ... and not in a creepy Freddy Krueger sort of way. This week's Girl Crush grew up before our very own eyes and we feel like a proud parent to have witnessed her transformation. And who exactly are we crushing on, might you ask? The lovely Dakota Fanning.

At just 7-years-old, Dakota was taking risks in her acting, playing opposite Sean Penn in "I Am Sam," which earned her a nomination for a SAG award (Did we mention she’s the youngest ever to be nominated?). And for a time it seemed like Dakota played in every film which called for a young girl, like "War of the Worlds" and "Charlottes Webb," giving her a chance to show the world what she could do.

While to most, the word "acting" might connote reading some lines in front of a rolling camera, Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning tried to take the meaning of the word to a deeper level in their upcoming flick, "The Runaways."

Both actresses have asserted they spent plenty of time with the women they were portraying in the film to make sure they got the part right. But when MTV had a chance to catch up with the young stars to talk about the movie, they explained how deep that dedication went.

So most of you probably spent all of yesterday watching the new "Eclipse" trailer on repeat (don't worry, we won't judge you). As a result, you may have forgotten to eat, work, sleep and catch the L.A. premiere for "The Runaways," the biopic about an all-girl 1970s rock group starring Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning. That's why we're here of course — to give you the full red carpet recap of last night's event, complete with the fashion hits and misses.

First of all, can we just say that Kristen looked totally fab last night? Seriously, this girl has totally upped her game. First, KStew wears a totally glam gown to the Oscars, earning herself a coveted spot on our best dressed list, and now she shows up to this premiere in a rocker chic Doo.Ri dress, which we couldn't help but love. Did we mention it was bright pink? Yeah, that only made it better. She's also flaunting Salvatore Ferragamo peep-toe pumps, in case you're wondering.

There are a little over three weeks until "The Runaways" hits theaters (on March 19, but we know you've been marking your calendars for this one), but we've been a bit left in the dark as far as footage goes. Maybe it's because a lucky few got to see the film at Sundance, but all the rest of us poor individuals have gotten to see is a teaser trailer, some clips and a collection of stills and a poster.

But fortunately Apparition decided to stop letting word-of-mouth do all the heavy-lifting, and has released a TV spot today showing some great new footage which fleshes out visually what we already know of the story. Plus there's that great cherry bomb graphic at the end (yes, a cherry blowing up like a bomb) that makes the whole thing worthwhile.

“New Moon” costars Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning have taken a bit of a detour from their vampire-inspired acting skills and brought it to a whole new level at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. Though the duo shares an onscreen kiss in the rock-and-roll indie flick “The Runaways,” the two insist that it wasn’t much of a big deal, in their eyes.

MTV News caught up with the ladies in Park City to ask them about their roles in the film. "I don't think it was ever a big deal to me," explained Dakota, who plays Runaways lead singer Cherie Currie, adding that having Cherie and Joan Jett (Kristen) kiss in the film "was just a thing, another day" for the characters.
