Issue 189

Dakota Fanning
Hollywood’s brightest young star Dakota Fanning glams up the cover of Dazed this month, ahead of her role as the lead singer of original glam-rock girl rebels the Runaways. With an exclusive shoot by photographer Mark Segal styled by senior fashion editor Katie Shillingford, Dazed speaks with 16-year-old Dakota about her evolution from child actress to scene-stealing star, kicking rock ‘n’ roll ass, and kissing Kristen Stewart.
