Keeping themselves busy after arriving in town the previous day, Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning were spotted out in Park City, Utah on Saturday afternoon (January 23).
Teaming up with director Floria Sigismondi, the ladies posed for a portrait session during the 2010 Sundance Film Festival held at the WireImage Portrait Studio at The Lift.
Also on the agenda, Miss Stewart paid a visit to the Variety Studio, where she proceeded to give a little speech to gathered fans and media members.
With the pair of actresses in town to promote “The Runaways,” Kristen continued about with the busy day by hitting up the “Welcome To the Rileys” premiere at the annual cinema extravaganza.

V Magazine’s upcoming “size issue” - an issue dedicated to presenting a more diverse representation of beauty - will have two cover girls.
Images leaked onto The Fashion Spot reveal not one, but two covers for the upcoming issue: one that features The Runaways’ Dakota Fanning, and the other featuring Gabourey Sidibe of Precious.
While the juxtaposition of the two acclaimed young actresses is interesting, the fact that consumers will have two very different representations of beauty to choose from at the newsstand sets up a competitive angle to the whole thing. It doesn’t help that one of the editorials within features a skinny model (Jacquelyn Jablonski) and a “plus size” model (Crystal Renn) facing off in the same clothes.

Dakota Fanning has paid tribute to Brittany Murphy, who died on Sunday at the age of 32.
The actress said the pair had become “great friends” after working together on the 2003 movie Uptown Girls.
“Brittany had such a warm child-like spirit that drew people to her. With her goes a piece of my heart and I will miss her terribly,” Fanning told E! Online.
“I know how strong Brittany’s love was for her family and my heart goes out to all of them, especially her mother Sharon. I love you Brittany.”
Murphy collapsed at home in Los Angeles and died in hospital on Sunday. An autopsy has so far failed to determine a cause of death.
Fanning’s tribute comes shortly after Murphy’s husband Simon Monkjack said his world had been “destroyed” by her sudden death.
Ashton Kutcher, who once dated the star, said the world had “lost a little piece of sunshine”.
Murphy’s cause of death has been deferred pending the results of toxicology tests, which could take several weeks.

Dakota Fanning has reportedly teased that she shares a “passionate” kiss with Kristen Stewart in their upcoming movie The Runaways.
The Twilight Saga: New Moon co-stars lock lips in the rock ‘n’ roll biopic, which stars Fanning as Cherie Currie and Stewart as Joan Jett.
According to Just Jared, Fanning told V magazine: “[The kiss is] passionate, they were just as close as two could get.
“[The drugs are] actually crushed B vitamins. Kristen and I were, like, our hair is gonna grow a lot from these.”
Fanning said that she “really enjoyed” making the movie “because it really happened, it’s not just a made-up story about a 15-year-old running wild”.
She added: “It’s a true story of her evolution from good Valley Girl to bad rock ‘n’ roll princess.”
The Runaways opens later this year.
Dakota Fanning told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY: “Brittany had such a warm, child-like spirit that drew people to her. With her goes a piece of my heart, and I will miss her terribly.” Dakota and Brittany starred together in the 2003 girly comedy Uptown Girls, when Dakota was only 9 years old.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon marks the first appearance of the Volturi, the closest the vampire world has to royalty and a major force in the future of the saga. Centuries old and unimaginably powerful, they serve as lawmakers and enforcers for the community. The leader of the group is Aro, played by Michael Sheen. Sheen is no stranger to this world, having played a werewolf enslaved by the vampires in the Underworld series.
Q: Dakota, as such a fan of the series, you’ve said in many interviews before that you were really excited about this so what were the highlights of playing Jane and do you get to do more in the next movie?
Dakota Fanning: I think the highlight of playing Jane was getting to wear that costume and to have the red contact lenses — I was really excited about that – and getting to play an evil character. The next movie I already finished doing, Eclipse, and it’s about the same. It’s still not very much in the movie. Read more… »
Child star Dakota Fanning’s character in Twilight: New Moon has been hailed as ‘scary as hell’ - find out who by here.
Fast-growing child star Dakota Fanning’s character in Twilight: New Moon has been hailed as ‘scary as hell’ by co-star Michael Sheen.
Even at 11 years old Fanning was hailed as the most powerful actress in Hollywood, with an amazing run of top-grossing movies which included War of the Worlds and Man On Fire.
Now aged 15, the actress has donned red contact lenses and black robes to play Volturi vampire Jane in the highly-anticipated second movie in the Twilight saga, which is sure to be one of the biggest films of the year.
“She’s fantastic,” Sheen said. “She’s scary as hell, but she looks so sweet. She’s got a great character there. People are really going to love her.”
The British actor described his own character Volturi leader Aro as “very calming on the surface, very gentle and soft on the surface. But beneath, he is a psychopathic killer… He’s a great character, and I had a great time doing it.” Read more… »
Dakota Fanning used to be such a cute little girl - until the 15-year-old donned vampire clothes and custom contacts that make her eyes glow like blood.
Chris Weitz, director of the second installment of the “Twilight” saga, wanted to stay true to author Stephenie Meyers’ description of the vampires known as Volturi - and her wish to steer clear of anything that looked too wizard-y.
So he outfitted all the actors playing Volturi, including Dakota, with specially made contacts handpainted red. “They’re opaque red, almost like preying mantis eyes. You can’t really see into them. There’s something terribly off-putting about it,” Weitz tells People magazine.
Summit Entertainment has just released photos of the evil Volturi and Dakota - who plays an angelic-looking vampire named Jane who tortures her victims - is particularly sinister-looking. And that’s the way she wanted it, says Weitz.
She is very strange and very spooky in this movie,” says Weitz. “I think (Dakota) wanted to play an evil character for once.”
“New Moon” opens Nov. 20.
Nearly two-minute clip, now removed from YouTube, offers first glimpse of Dakota Fanning as Jane.
Francophile Twilighters lucked out Wednesday (August 12) when a “New Moon” trailer, entirely in French, surfaced on YouTube. The nearly two-minute clip, which gave fans their first video look at Dakota Fanning as Volturi vampire Jane, was later removed due to copyright claims made by Summit Entertainment.
The bootlegged trailer centered largely on the growing relationship between Bella (Kristen Stewart) and her shape-shifting friend Jacob (Taylor Lautner). Interspersed between “New Moon” footage were interview segments featuring 17-year-old Lautner. Read more… »
