It's hard to believe Dakota Fanning is still only 21 years old! Last night, she looked drop-dead gorgeous in a Stella McCartney LBD at the Nylon magazine Young Hollywood party presented by BCBGeneration.

But you'll never guess what she really enjoyed wearing last year—a fake baby bump! Dakota plays a pregnant woman in her new movie Franny, which also stars Hollywood heartthrob Theo James.

So what was it like for the former child start playing a pregnant woman? 

"It was definitely strange, because I've never experienced that in my life so far," Dakota told E! News. "So I had this kind of heavy stomach that I had to wear, but I actually kind of loved it."

And the bump didn't just stay on set. "I would bring it back home on the weekends sometimes just to get use to how it made me move," she added.

When Dakota isn't working on Hollywood movies back-to-back, she likes to chill out just like the rest of us and watch some guilty pleasure TV.  She's a big fan of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and has been glued to this season!  

No one likes to pick favorites but we still had to ask , if she had to choose her No. 1 RHOBH, who would it be? "Lisa Vanderpump, but I like them all!"

Dakota graces the new cover of Nylon mag and was hosting the soirée last night where guests sipped on signature cocktails such as Blonde Crush and Cherry Bomb.

Justin Bieber made an impromptu visit and shut down the party with an entourage of young ladies. Nick Jonas' girlfriend Olivia Culpo was also spotted looking every inch the beauty queen she is!

Despite all the Young Hollywood stars floating around, there is only one Dakota is dying to work with the most—her sister Elle Fanning! Aww, gotta keep it in the family!
