Since the age of 7, Dakota Fanning has had a strong presence on the red carpet, always dressed in charming, age-appropriate party dresses. Now 18, Fanning has developed a taste for modern, conceptual outfits from designers like Proenza Schouler, Rodarte, and Prada. A regular at Fashion Week, the actress isn’t afraid to make runway looks her own, often going for the full, show-stopping effect — see the Valentino gown she chose for the 2011 Met Gala, for example, or the pink Lanvin number she wore to the Tribeca Film Festival. Click ahead to see Dakota Fanning’s best style moments on and off the red carpet.
