The immensely popular Twilight movie stars some of the most gorgeous people we’ve ever seen. The pale, smooth-as-marble skin of Edward, Alice, Rosalie, and the rest of the Cullen vampires exemplify the beauty of fair skin.

For decades, tanned celebs led scores of teens to hit the tanning beds and beaches — with little or no protection — in search of that golden look of Hollywood. Sadly, tanned skin is damaged skin, and many sunbathers are now paying a heavy price for their tanning indulgences. Dermatologists and plastic surgeons are making a fortune helping prematurely aged stars look young again, while other medical professionals are coming to the aid of unfortunate sun worshipers who suffer from deadly skin cancer.

Some stars decided to take a safer route, opting for spray-on and other artificial tans notoriously referred to as the orange-y fake bake. But more and more young celebrities are embracing their porcelain skin and bringing a new-found glamour to pale. Here are just a few of these natural beauties:

Dakota Fanning — acting since age 5, Dakota landed the coveted role of vampire Jane in the Twilight sequel, New Moon

Abigail Breslin — 12-year-old Kit Kittredge really is “an American Girl”
