PopSugar was live at the Critics' Choice Awards last night, and we got the chance to catch up with up-and-coming style maven Elle Fanning. Wearing a Rodarte gown from the Spring 2012 collection, we love how Elle tried out one of next season's prettiest hues- seafoam green. She also revealed that when it comes to getting dressed, she likes to head over to her sister Dakota's closet. It's all in today's FabFlash!

Before They Were Twilight Stars

BuzzSugar — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 16:39:26 PST

Fans of Twilight will finally get to see how the wedding, honeymoon, and birth scenes play out with this week's release of Breaking Dawn Part 1. But before you catch Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and the rest of the film's stars acting out the highly anticipated scenes, I thought it would be fun to take a look back at what the red-hot actors were doing before they were cast in the series. Some were unknown, others were child stars, so let's take a look back at their careers.

Dakota and Elle Fanning Strike Stylish, Sisterly Poses For W Magazine

Lauren Turner — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 12:38:59 PST

Dakota and Elle Fanning cozied up for the December cover of W Magazine. The sisters donned stylish looks and posed for photographer Mario Sorrenti in a glamorous spread that showcases their close connection. It's been a big year for the duo, who are both juggling school and their busy careers. Dakota recently moved on her own to NYC for college and Elle is gearing up for the holiday release of We Bought a Zoo while also attending high school. They opened up about becoming celebrities at such young ages and also touched on the perks of fame. Here's more from Dakota and Elle Fanning in W:

Dakota on being a celebrity at a young age: “It’s all I’ve ever experienced, and it’s what I’m used to. When you’re 6 years old, which is when I started, I think you start forming how you think about things. I’ve dealt with being known for so long that it’s just kind of normal to me. And that attention comes with what I love to do, which is act.”
Elle on being invited to the Chanel show in Paris: “Oh, yes! When I found out that I was invited to the Chanel show - that was the loudest I’ve ever screamed in my life. That was the best day of my life.”
Dakota on living on her own in college: “[I have] no roommates. Because I’m only 17, my mom is staying with me in my apartment for a little bit. She’s teaching me how to wash clothes and such. But I’m so excited to be on my own. In my house in L.A., we all feel that everything is everybody’s, and so doors are never really closed. My sister and I share a bathroom, and when you have a sibling, nothing is actually your own. I’ve never really had anything or any place that was just mine.”

Dakota Fanning's Perfume Ad Banned For Sexualizing Children

Tara Sharp — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 10:12:21 PST

Dakota Fanning's Oh, Lola! perfume ad has been banned in the UK for "sexualizing children." The Marc Jacobs perfume ad features 17-year-old Dakota holding an oversize bottle of the fragrance in her lap, and even though she's not dressed provocatively or doing anything sexual, the British Advertising Standards Authority believes the ad is portraying a minor as a sex object, saying:

"We noted that the model was holding up the perfume bottle which rested in her lap between her legs and we considered that its position was sexually provocative. We understood the model was 17 years old but we considered she looked under the age of 16. We considered that the length of her dress, her leg and position of the perfume bottle drew attention to her sexuality. Because of that, along with her appearance, we considered the ad could be seen to sexualise a child."

While I think there are a ton of much more overtly sexual ads out there, I do think the purpose of this perfume ad is to be provocative. Even Marc Jacobs describes Oh, Lola! as "sensual" and calls Dakota a "contemporary Lolita, seductive yet sweet." Maybe I'm just desensitized by worse examples like Toddlers & Tiaras, but would you really consider this ad featuring a 17-year-old the sexualization of a child?

The Marc Jacobs Spring 2012 show closed out New York Fashion Week last night. Sitting in the front row to watch the presentation of metallic coats, mint hues, and ladylike dresses was Marc's current muse, Dakota Fanning, as well as newlywed Sofia Coppola. Rachel Zoe was also on hand, and she afterward made her way backstage to hug it out with her fellow designer Marc. Rachel was evidently a fan, as she tweeted that Marc's clothes were "beyond insanity!" The festivities have moved on to London now, but we've compiled hundreds of the best New York Fashion Week photos so you can catch up on the parties, celebrities, shows, and street styles!

Dakota Fanning Shares a Romantic Scene With Her Cute Costar

Lindsay Miller — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 10:56:06 PDT

Dakota Fanning was in her costar Jeremy Irvine's arms yesterday as the pair shot a loving scene in the English countryside. Dakota and Jeremy are starring in the upcoming BBC Films movie Now Is Good together. Dakota has been wearing a blond, pixie-cut wig as she gets into character, playing a young woman dying of leukemia who sets out to live life to the fullest in the wake of her diagnosis. The new project prevented Dakota from joining her Breaking Dawn castmates last week at Comic-Con, where they shared an early look at the final installments in the Twilight saga, including the much-anticipated wedding and honeymoon scenes.

Dakota Fanning Dons Her Super-Short Crop For Another Day on Set

Lindsay Miller — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 10:42:58 PDT

Dakota Fanning wore a short wig yet again yesterday as she got back to work on Now Is Good in London. The actress plays a young cancer patient dying of leukemia who sets out to experience life to the fullest in the movie. Dakota is spending her Summer focused on her career, but the recent high-school graduate is expected to head East for college in the Fall since she was seen checking out schools with her parents in NYC. In addition to her movie work, Dakota also recently played dress-up with her little sister Elle for Vogue's Age Issue and posed solo for Marc Jacobs's latest Oh, Lola! fragrance ads.

Dakota Fanning Debuts a Supershort Pixie Crop on the Set of Now Is Good

Lindsay Miller — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 17:05:00 PDT

Dakota Fanning stepped out yesterday on the set of her latest movie Now Is Good with a shockingly short new 'do. Dakota plays a young woman dying of leukemia in the film, and whether the haircut is her own or simply a wig she's sporting for the role, it was a big departure from her usual longer blond locks. Dakota wouldn't be the first young Hollywood celebrity with a pixie cut. Emma Watson, Michelle Williams, Ginnifer Goodwin and Carey Mulligan are just a few actresses who have gone under the scissors and worn the style for movie parts and personal preference. Dakota revealed the new look as she got to work this week following a trip to NYC last month to check out colleges. The actress, who graduated from high school in early June, is reportedly set on going to a Big Apple university when school starts in the Fall.

Dakota Fanning Takes Manhattan Solo

Molly Goodson — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 02:00:59 PDT

Dakota Fanning stepped out of her hotel solo in NYC on Thursday. The 17-year-old actress is reportedly starting college in the city this Fall, though she's yet to reveal which university she'll be attending. Still, she and her mom are getting better acquainted with Manhattan while Dakota is between movie projects. As a recent high school graduate, Dakota is ready to grow up, starting with her controversial Marc Jacobs Oh, Lola! fragrance ads that some say are too suggestive for the under-18 actress. Dakota is still a very scandal-free star compared to some of her contemporaries, and she's a good role model for her younger sister Elle, who is breaking into the big time thanks in part to her role in box office hit Super 8.
