There are a few child stars who grow up beautiful, graceful and successful in their acting careers. For the start of 2010, one former child star stood out in Hollywood in a makeover for a magazine, and she is no other than New Moon’s Dakota Fanning.

In the latest issue of V Magazine, Dakota is seen with this new grown up look and looking far prettier than little girl beside her picture. Her look here is sort of a peak of her role in an upcoming movie called “The Runways”, which is about a band called “The Runways” and their wild child singer named Cherie Currie, so it is more of hip and rock. Well, if she has to have a makeover to make her look more beautiful anywhere, then I wouldn’t object.

And to think, I thought Fanning has already shown her beauty as the evil vampire, Jane in “New Moon”. It looks like she’s leaving that kid we knew in “I am Sam” and shows she’ll have more success in Hollywood now. Dakota Fanning has a potential in this acting world, and this picture just shows that there is more to come from her, and we will look forward to her upcoming projects.
