Dakota attended the Winter TCA Tour to talk about The Alienist! She was also at the show’s premiere later that day, and our gallery has been updated with pictures from both events. The show is set to air on TNT on January 22, 2018.

We have finally updated our photo gallery with new promotional images of Dakota for the brand Miu Miu. Most of them are from their Holidays 2017 Whispers campaign, I’ve had them for a few days and hadn’t had the time to post. But one of them is from their upcoming campaign Women’s Tales. According to her Instagram post, Dakota directed the promotional short film for it, and this is her directorial debut! The brand’s website has 14 tales, so we believe Dakota’s will be #15.

? I am thrilled to say that I directed a short film. My first time directing. It was a great challenge, but so rewarding. ? thank you @miumiu for making this dream of mine come true @miumiuwomenstales ?: @brigittelacombe

Happy New Year! I hope you guys had a great Eve, and that 2018 started with a bang! We’re kind of back to our regular activities now, starting with candid updates. Dakota was seen with her sister Elle Fanning and her boyfriend a couple of times in the past few days, and our gallery has been updated with the images.

And another year comes to an end! This one marked Lovely Dakota‘s 15th anniversary and some major changes, as I’m sure you noticed if you’ve been visiting us for long. It’s review time!

The year of 2017 started for Lovely Dakota when I adopted it in March (x), after nearly two years without updates. The first thing I did was change the layouts and get the gallery up and running again, with the help of Isabella, from (the now gone) Dakota Fanning Brasil. Since then, 48 posts with news and various additions were made to the site.

Dakota’s first campaign for the brand Jimmy Choo – for their SS17 collection – was launched earlier in the year, and it resulted in one of her most beautiful photoshoots to date. In other fashion-related news, she posed for Miu Miu toward the end of the year, and is featured on their Holidays 2017 campaign called “Whispers” (x) along with her sister Elle Fanning.

Dakota’s latest short film “Zygote” was released in July (x), and “Brimstone” got some spread out release dates around the world through pretty much the first semester of the year. “Please Stand By” premiered at the Rome Film Festival (x), but doesn’t have confirmed release dates for other places at this point.

Dakota spent several months filming The Alienist in Budapest, Hungary, and we’ve gotten a few trailers (x) for it since then. This is the first television show she’s featured in since her cameo in “Friends” in 2004. It will be premiering on TNT on January 29, 2018, and is most definitely the project I’ve been anticipating the most. Dakota stars with actors Luke Evans and Daniel Bruhl.

With new projects soon-to-be released, Dakota has slowly started promoting. Several interviews and a few magazine covers have marked the beginning of it for “The Alienist”, and she’ll probably start doing press for “Please Stand By” too very soon. Besides those two projects, “Ocean’s 8” is also set to premiere in 2018 (x), and Dakota’s cameo has already been confirmed.

I hope we get to see more of Dakota next year, and I’m sure we will! We can also hope “Viena and the Fantomes” (x) gets released eventually, as we’ve been waiting for it for so long. The struggle is real, guys.

I hope you enjoyed our updates in 2017! Thanks for sticking by Lovely Dakota through all this years, and for not giving up on it when things slowed down for a while. It’s only been online for this long because of you, and, as someone who’s visited it for years before adopting it, I’m thankful it has.

May your new year be filled with love, happiness and new achievements! We’ll see you all in 2018!

Dakota was sighted in Los Angeles yesterday, along with her boyfriend, her sister Elle Fanning and her mother Heather. Our gallery has been updated with the images.

The first trailer for Ocean’s 8 has been released by Warner Bros. Pictures! You can watch it below.

Dakota was sighted by the paparazzi twice yesterday, at first while she was out and about in New York City, then upon her arrival at LAX Aiport at night. Our gallery has been updated with both sets of candids.

Entertainment Weekly has released the very first trailer for Dakota’s upcoming movie Please Stand By! It is a very comprehensive trailer, mind you. Their website is a pain to get embed codes from and impossible to get screen captures, so we got the video from a Youtube channel instead. We’ve added screen captures from it to our gallery, as well as the first official poster.
