Dakota Fanning may be just 17-years-old, but the child star looks all grown up on the cover of the February issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine.

The NYU freshman, who was just named the ‘zine’s “Fun Fearless Female of the Year” looks gorgeous on her first Cosmo cover, in a super low-cut J. Mendel dress and flirty, understated jewelry.

In her interview with the women’s mag, the Twilight star opens up about always feeling comfortable with what God gave her.

Since I was young, I’ve always known who I was.  I never really had to go through finding who I am.  I’ve always felt really secure.

Nice to see a young Hollywood starlet with a good head on her shoulders – and a beautiful one too boot!

Actress Dakota Fanning is working hard on building a solid and serious acting career and she is currently living a dream after being part of two major and very successful movies this year, “The Runaways” and “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse”.

However, the 16 year-old is mature enough to know that fame is ephemeral – it does not last forever – and her career could just “end tomorrow”. We doubt it. Dakota is a super talented actress, but we understand what she is trying to say.

“I know this is what I want to do for the rest of my life but I think that everything can end tomorrow,” Dakota confessed. “You have to live your life for the moment and not take it for granted. I don’t think you ever feel completely secure.”

Dakota also admits that she doesn’t know how to do anything else other than act. And, finally, she confessed she would love to work with actress Jodie Foster. Just ask Kristen Stewart! Kristen played Jodie’s daughter in the 2002 thriller “Panic Room”.

Dakota said, “I’d love to work with Jodie Foster. I really admire her, her career and what she’s done. I can only hope to be just a little bit of how great she is.”

We wish Dakota all the luck in the world. She totally deserves it and much more. There’s definitely an Oscar in her future.

Our favorite stars were greeted by screaming fans, who waited in line for days to be able to watch them walk down the glamorous black carpet.

Anna Kendrick and Dakota Fanning are two beautiful and very talented girls. The human and the vampire both wore super cute mini-dresses, flattering their (youthful) figure. Anna in a golden Marchesa dress and Dakota in an Elie Saab Couture beige dress, which one looked the best on the black carpet last night? Our pick: Dakota!
