The Twilight stars hit the black carpet outside the Nokia Theatre at L.A. Live in downtown Los Angeles on Monday night. The movie, which opens Friday, marks the penultimate film in Summit Entertainment's five-film franchise that stars Pattinson as vampire Edward, Stewart as his human love interest Bella and Lautner as werewolf Jacob.

The actress broke out of her miniskirt mode to wow in a long J. Mendel gown that still showed plenty of skin thanks to a thigh-high slit. Many recent appearances — The Tonight Show and her Hollywood Walk of Fame handprint ceremony — actually required her to wear black Spanx underneath to prevent any embarrassing Lindsay Lohan-style peekaboo paparazzi photos.

Pattinson, who plays vampire Edward, recently expressed his "crippling" fear of life post-Twilight. "In career terms, Twilight was like a security blanket," he told U.K.'s The Observer before correcting the statement. "Not a blanket – a safety net. I had a three- or four-month window between each one during which I could do another job. But whatever I did I knew that I'd have another Twilight movie on the way, which is theoretically guaranteed to make a lot of money. So I could always afford to fail."

Lautner, who plays werewolf Jacob in the Twilight movies, recently ventured into solo-leading-man territory with Abduction, which disappointed at the box office with $71.7 million worldwide.

Kellan Lutz will be competing against himself at the box office this weekend with both Breaking Dawn and Immortals in multiplexes.
He said of his numerous shirtless appearances on film and in the press, "I've done a lot of photo shoots lately for Immortals and Breaking Dawn, and every photographer wants to get the topless shot. We've really had to be choosy and not do that for every magazine. I've actually been trying to keep my clothes on more."
The Nurse Jackie co-star revealed plans in late June to produce a film about Boston mobster Whitey Bulger.
The film will be based on the book Street Soldier: My Life as an Enforcer for Whitey Bulger and the Boston Irish Mob, which was optioned by Facinelli last year.
The actress just recorded a duet with her husband, American Idol finalist Paul McDonald, and was part of a Twilight tour that featured select members of the Cullen clan, including Peter Facinelli, Elizabeth Reaser and Jackson Rathbone, as well as performances from musicians featured on the soundtrack.
