Despite the chilly New York weather, Dakota Fanning turned up the heat while walking to her apartment in the Big Apple on Sunday.

The 19-year-old wore a three quarter-length grey coat, a thick blue scarf, leather pants and black ankle boots -- but all that didn't seem to warm up The Runaways star in the freezing temps.

Wearing no makeup, Dakota pulled her blonde hair back in a ponytail and opted to shield her eyes from the sun with oversized sunglasses.

The California native is living in NYC while she attends New York University's Gallatin School of Individualized Study, which gives students the opportunity to design their own curriculum.

Despite being the tender age of 19 -- the former child star has a been dating 32-year-old British model Jamie Strachan.

Despite the age difference, things are apparently serious with the couple. Last March, Dakota talked about her view on relationships and dating with Glamour magazine, saying, "I have a weird vision of relationships because my parents have known each other since second grade, and they got married right out of college."

'I've always thought that's what it's supposed to be like, and if it's not, then I don't want to waste my time on it," added the Twilight Saga star.

"Even when I was 14, I was like, 'I'm not gonna marry this person. What's the point of doing it?' It's not me being naive. I just know what it's supposed to be like. And I think until I feel that, I cannot be bothered."

Could the teen actress be ready for marriage already? Guess we will see!
