The Women of Twilight: Eclipse

As fans lick their fangs in anticipation of Eclipse, the third film in the unstoppable Twilight saga, Vanity Fair rescues the franchise’s supporting starlets from the shadow of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.(Photo: Clockwise from top left: Eclipse’s Ashley Greene, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Dakota Fanning vamp it up.)

 Dakota Fanning plays the red-eyed Volturi vampire Jane. “I was a fan, and I was honored that I got asked to be a part of this whole phenomenon,” she told Nancy Jo Sales.

 Ashley Greene plays 109-year-old Alice Cullen but doesn’t look a day over ... well, a lot less than that. “[Twilight’]s given me this incredible springboard to dive into my career,” she said. “I would still be working as a hostess at a restaurant to support myself.”

 As vampire Esme Cullen, Elizabeth Reaser plays the matriarch of the coven. “We have a battle with these out-of-control newborn vampires,” she said. “They’re trying to take us down, and it’s, Don’t mess with my family.”

 Clockwise from top: Bryce Dallas Howard portrays Victoria, a blood-thirsty vampire with a vendetta; Dakota Fanning stars as Jane, a vampire who can inflict pain with a mere glance; Ashley Greene plays the aforementioned vampire Alice Cullen, who can see the future; Julia Jones is Leah Clearwater, the only female member of the Wolf Pack; and Nikki Reed is Rosalie Hale, a vampire with a seriously haunted past. 

 hair+makeup+clothes absolutely flawless! It's completely unbelievable how Dakota just grow up in front our eyes. Dakota is definitely a stunning girl!
