While introducing Stewart at Elle's 2016 Women in Hollywood Awards, Fanning said, "She has held my hair back and talked me through heartbreak. She has always been there for me when I have needed her most, and most of all, she has taught me the power of being 100% yourself 100% of the time."

Outside of the Twilight franchise, they've also costarred in Cutlass and The Runaways.
