The 16-year-old actress opted for a feminine and age-appropriate dress from Valentino’s Spring 2015 collection. Featuring a light and airy silhouette with layers of ruffles in summery pastel colors, it made Elle look downright charming.

She wore minimal, dainty jewelry — a ring and a bracelet — to let the dress do the talking. Her hair seemed a bit boring, but it matched the whimsical vibe of her entire ensemble.

At a very young age, Elle Fanning is already starting to cement her style status!

Her choice of shoes was perfect as they complemented the soft colors of her dress. She wore the Bionda Castana “Lana” pumps in yellow leather featuring delicate mesh inserts and feminine bow fastenings at the ankles.

The geometric cutout design and the pointed toes have a modern edge look that offsets this style’s feminine details.
