Dakota Fanning is home for the holidays!

The Runaways star displayed a makeup-free (and a noticeably fuller) face, as she touched down in LA Thursday night, looking a bit tired after her six-hour flight.

Not only is Fanning currently enrolled in her first year at NYU, she also has FOUR movie coming out next year!

The 17-year-old will appear in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2, Effie with Emma Thompson, The Motel Life, and Now Is Good.

Looks like 2012 will be Dakota's year to shine!

Dakota Fanning, 17, and sis Elle, 13, are two of the most sought-after young actresses in Hollywood today but in their interviews with W magazine, they appear to be normal teenage girls who love reality TV and fashion.

Dakota recently posed for a provocative Marc Jacobs perfume ad that got plenty of criticism from conservatives and which was even pulled from British publications, but she keeps an open mind about sexuality. The college freshman, just enrolled at NYU, tells the mag she remembers her first on-screen kiss in Sweet Home Alabama when she was 7 years old, saying she wasn't nervous at all to shoot the scene. Neither was she nervous shooting the sexy fragrance campaign with celebrated photographer Terry Richardson and neither was she weirded out by starring opposite Sean Penn in her first film. The girl has nerves of steal!

And an interesting fact about her sister Elle? She still takes ballet five days a week! Elle also talks about her first trip to Paris, when she was invited to the Chanel show during Fashion Week. She said it was a dream come true and that her dream job would be shooting a film in the City of Lights.

Uh, yeah ... us too! And being a Fanning girl wouldn't be so bad either!

Terry Richardson

Terry Richardson has released a few outtakes from his Vogue UK photo shoot with Dakota Fanning, and the actress looks at least a decade older than her 17 years in these shots. Of course, she still looks amazing, but we're wondering what happened to little girl who played Tom Cruise's young daughter in War of Worlds just six years ago!

P.S. We have to ask -- what's with the bruised knees?

Justin Bieber has made a pretty penny off being a teen dream.

The "Baby" singer took in $53 million in 2010, according to People magazine's ranking of top-earning teen actors and musicians.

He may be known for his vocals, but Justin, 17, actually scored the most moolah from his extremely successful 3D movie Never Say Never, which earned $73 million to date, and his fragrance "Someday."

Barely trailing behind was Miley Cyrus with $48 million, who earned most of her haul from touring.

While Justin's GF Selena Gomez is a rising star, she was much further down on the list with a take home of $5 million.

Few other earners took in quite as much as Justin and Miley, but many teen stars still fared well:

• Twilight's Taylor Lautner - $16 million


• Nick Jonas - $12.5 million


• Two and a Half Men's Angus T. Jones - $7.8 million


• Jaden Smith - $5 million


• Willow Smith - $4 million<


• Dakota Fanning - $4 million

Dakota Fanning just graduated from high school and already the young blonde actress is representing fashion designer Marc Jacobs' latest fragrance Oh, Lola. Now that's the smell of success!

The scent ... with notes of pear, peony, magnolia, cyclamen, vanilla, sandalwood and rasberry, will no doubt be flying off the shelves when it hits stores in August!

Ms. Fanning told WWD:

“Every time one of Marc’s fragrances comes out I run to the store to buy it. The moment I was asked to be a part of the Oh, Lola campaign, I was so humbled and said yes immediately.”

Dakota Fanning is not only a hot, Hollywood actress, but the blonde Runaways star is now a high school grad. OMG ... loves the shoes!

The 17-year-old, who showed her wicked side in Twilight's Eclipse, joined her fellow Campbell Hall Episcopal High School graduates at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Downtown LA.

Dakota certainly made the most of her high school years ... even being named Homecoming Queen two years in a row. Way to go, Dakota!

For the second year in a row, Dakota Fanning was honored by her fellow Campbell Hall Episcopal High School classmates as the homecoming queen. Not only is she a talented actress, but the fact that her peers aren't hating on her is pretty impressive -- she must be a total sweetheart to be voted onto court two years in a row!

But don't worry, she wasn't hitting up a party! Instead, we spotted the Eclipse starlet leaving the gym after a late night cardio sesh in Hollywood. Seeing as she's got numerous projects in the works, we bet she barely has the time to squeeze in her daily 45 minutes of exercise, so it's not surprising to find the 16-year-old actress at the gym on a Friday night.
