The Runaways Premiere Afterparty
In Floria Sigismondi’s The Runaways, Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning play punk lesbian lovers. However, on the red carpet of the film’s March 11, 2010 premiere, the two New Moon actresses looked every bit the dolled-up Hollywood femme fatales that they were.
Spectators headed to Bowery Hotel after the film’s screening, held at the ArcLight Cinemas’ Cinerama Dome in Los Angeles. At the hotel, Tommy Hilfiger cooked up a rock-and-roll celebration in honor of the movie.
Joan Jett and Cherie Currie, the film’s legendary subjects, came in the flesh at both the screening and the party. Lucky punk lovers and artists were able to get autographs from Jett at the screening.
Other famous faces, like actress Chloë Sevigny and rocker Dave Grohl, also joined the group and rubbed elbows with the punk rock goddesses. Director Sigismondi was also present, and so was Michael Shannon. Stewart’s foxy New Moon co-star Taylor Lautner also joined in the celebration.
Both Stewart and Fanning will appear with Lautner this summer for Eclipse, the third film adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s vampire novels. Robert Pattinson, who plays Stewart’s lover in the vampire films, was visibly absent in the bash.
Grilled cheese and beer were passed around the room, while music from The Runaways’ original albums blared from the speakers.
