Coco Models Goes Looking For The Runaways
Last month marked the New York premiere of Floria Sigismondi's The Runaways which cast actresses Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning in the roles of real life Runaways Joan Jett and Cherie Currie. Joan Jett is the executive producer of this project which is about the life of their all girls punk band. The film takes place in 1975 when The Runaways were the only female punk band on the L.A scene. The group broke up soon after their first hit Cherry Bomb.
Both Kristen Stewart, as Joan Jett and Dakota Fanning, as lead singer Cherie Currie, sing in the biopic. They have their own version of the song Cherry Bomb which is climbing the charts. This is also the most adult role that Dakota Fanning has ever played. In the film she can be seen snorting drugs, making out with Kristen Stewart and dancing around in bikini bottoms and leather pants. Both her movie roles and fashion sense are growing up. She wore a hand-embroidered blush Elie Saab dress with Brian Atwood heels to the premiere which was perfectly paired with Kristen Stewart's Emilio Pucci sequined mini dress.
The film was given a limited release on March 19th and was released to theatres everywhere on April 9th.
