Elle Fanning: On Being A Teen Fashion Icon And Working With Robert Pattinson One Day
Elle Fanning’s Rodarte gown at the Critics’ Choice Movie Awards fit her personality perfectly — playful and light, yet totally glam. I chatted with the Super 8 actress about her love of fashion and her growing reputation as a style icon. “I’ve always loved clothes ever since I was little,” she told me, adding that she’s “really close” with Rodarte designers Laura and Kate Mulleavey. Elle, who was nominated for Best Young Actor/Actress, was giddy when discussing her status. “I look up to so many people in fashion,” she said, “so it’s funny for people to say that I’m a fashion icon.”
Elle’s big sister, Dakota, has outed her as a serious Robert Pattinson fan, so I had to ask her about maybe one day working with the Twilight star. “I would love that!” said Elle. “My sister said he was so nice, and I got to meet him at the premiere. That would be fun!” she said with a smile. Let’s make it happen, Hollywood!

The 13-year-old actress recently chatted with Teen Vogue mag about her Hollywood crush at the moment: Ryan Gosling.
"Me and my friends saw Crazy, Stupid, Love, and we were freaking out," she dished. "Everyone falls in love with him after that."
But, that doesn't mean she's ready for the dating world.
Elle shared, "In seventh grade, it was sort of a big deal to have a boyfriend. You're not in elementary school anymore, and you feel a lot older. But you can't do anything. Your mom has to drop you off! It's sort of awkward. You're sitting here, and the parents are over there. I don't know—not for me!"

WME Signs Dakota And Elle Fanning
Dakota and Elle Fanning have signed with WME. The teenage actresses made the agency rounds recently after leaving Cindy Osbrink, whose Osbrink Talent Agency specializes in pint-sized talent and who agented the girls since they were children. It was time to move, as Dakota is turning 18 and Elle turning 14. The Fannings continue to be repped by mangers JJ Harris and Brittany Kahan at One Talent Management and lawyer is Steve Warren.
Any *free* ideas for advertising our birthday projects? I am planning to write to owners of other fan sites to see if they want to post about the project and/or help make some pages for it. ;)

Dakota Fanning: Pink, Pink, Pink!
Dakota Fanning arrives at LAX Airport in Los Angeles on Friday afternoon (January 20).
The 17-year-old actress was living up her love for pink — with a wallet, jacket and bag — and is now back in the Big Apple, to continue her education at NYU.
In Sundance news, Dakota is in final negotiations for Very Good Girls, Deadline reports.
The project is expected to start shooting this June in New York and finds two lifelong best friends (Fanning, Elizabeth Olsen) in the summer after their high school. When they fall in love with the same boy (Anton Yelchin), their quest becomes much more complicated and emotionally dangerous than they ever imagined. They come out of the summer more women than girls, but in ways that they never imagined.

Elle Fanning Looks Super Cute and Sunny at the Critics' Choice Awards
Elle Fanning was among the early stars to hit the grey carpet at the 2012 Critics’ Choice Awards in LA today. The young actress looked cute in a mint Rodarte dress covered in sunflowers. She’s nominated in the best young actor/actress category today for her work in J.J. Abrams’ Super 8 last year, where she was the lead female among a group of boys. On the carpet she talked about how she steals clothes from Dakota, but that her height makes it harder to wear the same thing as her sister! Weigh in on Elle’s bright look by voting on Fab and Bella’s fashion and beauty polls.

Dakota Fanning - Dakota Fanning Is Husband Hunting At College
Actress Dakota Fanning is hunting for her husband-to-be at college after learning it's the best place to meet your life-long mate.
The Twilight star is currently studying psychology as a freshman at New York University and the 17 year old admits she's secretly scoping out the scene to find her first serious boyfriend.
She tells Cosmopolitan magazine, "There's something exciting about the idea of going to a city and meeting a guy. I've had really only one boyfriend - just someone I went to school with. It's strange when you meet people who are like, 'I met my husband in college.' It's weird to think about, like, 'Is that guy my husband?'
"(I fantasise) about meeting someone in a coffee shop, and you drop something and they pick it up, you know?"
But so far, Fanning has been too busy to let romance flourish.
She adds, "I never have enough time for anything like that."

Dakota And Elle Fanning To Leave Osbrink, Will Take Agency Meetings
As Dakota Fanning emerged as a top young actress in films like Man On Fire and War Of The Worlds, and Elle Fanning began doing the same in films like Super 8 and We Bought A Zoo, the girls had always been represented by Cindy Osbrink, whose Osbrink Talent Agency specializes in pint-sized talent. The Fannings have decided to take a step toward adulthood (Dakota turns 18 next month, and Elle will turn 14 in April), and they have decided to leave Osbrink. They will soon take meetings with the major agencies and decide the next move. The Fannings continue to be repped by JJ Harris’s One Talent Management.
The move comes as Dakota Fanning finishes up the Twilight Saga series with Breaking Dawn Part 2, and just wrapped the Ol Parker-directed Now Is Good and the title role in Effie, the Emma Thompson-scripted film that was directed by Richard Laxton. Both of those films were shot in London. As for Elle Fanning, she is starring in the Sally Potter-directed Bomb.
