The lovely ladies of "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" go for Old Hollywood glamour in the July issue of Vanity Fair. Actresses Dakota Fanning, Ashley Greene, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Julia Jones all wear blood red dresses and lipstick while Nikki Reed unleashes her passion for purple.
Inside the issue, the women, who were photographed by Norman Jean Roy, talk about the legendary love between bloodsucker Edward Cullen and mortal Bella Swan.

Howard, who replaced actress Rachelle Lefevre as evil vampire Victoria, admits that she had seen the first "Twilight" movie "innumerable times," and became so obsessed that even her spouse, actor Seth Gabel, got concerned. "My husband actually said to me, 'Do I need to be worried about this?'"
While Howard was thrilled to sink her teeth into her role in "Eclipse," it probably paled in comparison to her excitement for appearing in Vanity Fair. A former intern for the publication, Howard says, "I remember flipping through the magazine... and [I'd] kind of, like, secretly hope one day I would actually be in there."
Mission accomplished!
