When we're picking out an outfit, our main goal is to find something flattering that highlights a few of our best features. So it really comes as no surprise that Dakota Fanning [1] — a fashion girl in her own right [2] — feels the same, even tipping us off to a styling trick in a recent Instagram post. Wearing a baby-blue shirt and pom-pom-embellished choker, the star pointed out that her look matched her eyes, thus making them pop even more.

Suddenly, a ton of Dakota's outfits made even more sense: blue gowns, blue tops, blue accessories — they were all meant to bring out her eye color. Take a look at Dakota's trick, then keep scrolling for more blue looks from this fashion-forward lady.
