It was a who's who of celebrities at the "PUNK: Chaos to Couture" Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan in New York City on Monday night.

Some stars took the word "costume" very literally, dressing up like punks, teasing their hair, and laying the make-up on heavy. Other celebs opted for more traditional ball gowns.

Katy Perry, above, was the queen of the night, wearing a heavily jeweled dress featuring the Virgin Mary on it.

Metropolitan Museum of Art Director and CEO Thomas P. Campbell explained the punk theme: "Punk's signature mixing of references was fueled by artistic developm...

Dakota Fanning wouldn't skinny dip with her "Night Moves" co-stars Peter Sarsgaard and Jesse Eisenberg in Oregon last year because she isn't very adventurous.

While filming the drama the trio decided to check out the state's famous hot springs but didn't pack their bathing suits. The two actors jumped in the water naked, but Fanning was too embarrassed to do anything but watch.

She told Glamour magazine:  "I don't do enough adventurous things, because I'm like, 'I might get hurt.' But when we were doing Night Moves, Peter, Jesse, and I went to these hot springs in Oregon, and I didn't hav...

Dakota Fanning's family enjoys a rather unusual holiday tradition by playing a festive game of 'find the pickle' in honor of their German relatives.

The War Of The Worlds star looks forward to the Christmas fun which involves searching for a pickle-shaped ornament hidden somewhere on the decorated tree - and whoever finds it wins a prize.

However, Fanning was left empty-handed last year when she located the hidden pickle and didn't receive her coveted reward as her parents had forgotten to buy one.

She tells British newspaper the Daily Telegraph, "We have my dad's mother from Germany ...

Dakota Fanning is almost as famous for her blonde hair as she is for her acting roles. So when she showed up to the "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2" premiere on Monday with brunette hair it was quite a shock.

The porcelain skinned actress told Yahoo! Movies she made the switch for an upcoming film. "I decided I needed a change... for the character I was playing I couldn't be a blonde," she explained.

Last year, Dakota Fanning starred in a provocative Marc Jacobs perfume advertisement in which she posed with an oversized bottle of Oh, Lola! between her thighs.

Critics were uncomfortable with the then 17 year old's pose in the photo, which made her look younger than her actual age.

The advertisement was banned in Great Britain, but Fanning insists she was amused by the controversy.

She told British magazine Stella, "I thought it was hilarious. All of my friends were like, 'Yeah, you're corrupting youth with your perfume bottle and pink polka-dot dress!'... I'm constantly baffled by wha...

Although some criticize the attendance of certain members of Hollywood at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner, there's no denying that they add a certain spice (and sexiness) to the event.

Reality star Kim Kardashian looked stunning in a green velvet dress with silver beaded accents, while Lindsay Lohan wore a daring black gown that showed off a risque bit of cleavage. But she was topped by Rosario Dawson who really showed off her curvy figure in a bright green gown.

Kate Hudson sparkled in a heavily sequined purple dress, while Elizabeth Banks was beautiful in orange. Clai...

Every year at the start of the Tribeca Film Festival I write some really nice piece about how Tribeca’s my favorite time of year, how it’s the best month out of all the months. I mean, come on, I get to sit around and watch movies all month and conduct interviews and take pictures of actors and rub elbows with filmmakers and producers; what’s not to love, right? Actually, there’s nothing at all to dislike, as it’s always an honor and a privilege to be doing what I’m doing. But I recognise now, at thirty-something, that when I was [cough] twenty-something, I had two things going for me: the ...

Many celebrities attended Tuesday night's Vanity Fair cocktail party for the Tribeca Film Festival at the State Courthouse in Manhattan's Financial District. But two stars stuck out for their interesting fashion sense.

Dakota Fanning wore a cute vibrant pink frock, but what set her apart was her hairstyle. She pinned a yellow headpiece on the crown of her head, and it seemed out of place.

Leelee Sobieski wore a school marm white dress with a billowing skirt reminiscent of the 1950s. She slicked back her hair and tucked it underneath her neck.

Check out more photos of Dakota, Leelee and o...

Dakota Fanning is no longer a child star. The blonde cutie who wowed audiences in the 2001 film "I Am Sam" turns 18 years old today.

We expect great things from the Georgia native. She has appeared in movies such as "Taken," "Uptown Girls," and "Man On Fire." That's quite a resume for such a short time.

"Welcome To Your Cosmo Years, Dakota," reads the headline at the beginning of Cosmopolitan's February 2012 feature story on teen actress Dakota Fanning, who they named this year's "Fun Fearless Female of the Year."

The sexually charged women's magazine has come under fire from several websites and publications today for putting the 17-year-old Fanning on its cover (she'll turn 18 in late February), questioning whether or not she might be too young to be featured alongside such headlines as "His Best Sex Ever," "You Have To Try This Sex Trick" and "Um, Vagina, Are You Okay Down There?"

Teen star Elle Fanning was hailed as a role model for children around the world at a glitzy gala in New York on Monday.

The Super 8 star and her actress sister Dakota, who was unable to attend the benefit, were picked to receive the Children of the World award for the positive example they have set for youngsters.

The gala, hosted by the Children of Chernobyl charity, marked the 25th anniversary of the Ukraine disaster and Fanning told reporters she is inspired by the courageous kids living in the aftermath of the nuclear reactor's meltdown in 1986.

She says, "I wasn't even born when all...

Dakota Fanning's latest Marc Jacob's ads are drawing fire for being too provocative, but the first set she did years earlier are worse -- and even the actress herself agrees.

Dakota Fanning's Marc Jacobs perfume ad has been banned in Great Britain, but the actress herself is way more creeped out by a series she did for the designer's clothing line when she was just 12 years old.

The ads feature a remarkably young-looking Fanning -- even for 12 -- wearing miniature versions of Jacob's runway couture and projecting a very adult, somewhat sexualized image.

Now Dakota Fanning herself says it...

The former childhood stars beat out Beyonce and her singer sister Solange Knowles for the honor.

Some girls such as Emma Watson and Halle Berry can do anything to their hair and look fabulous. Others just can't carry it off as well.

We posted pics of Vanessa Hudgens' new 'do earlier this week. And yesterday we spotted Dakota Fanning with a cropped haircut while filming scenes for her new film "Now Is Good" in London. She plays a girl dying of leukemia.

The I Know What You Did Last Summer star has been shamed in the Slate.com poll, which used results from movie ratings website RottenTomatoes.com to determine Hollywood's winners and losers.
