"Despite the fact that Elle Fanning is already a Rodarte-loving trendsetter and fashion world darling at age 13, her style philosophy is refreshingly on-point for an adolescent... When we first brought the adorable Elle to your attention exactly a year ago, you dolls seemed smitten by her ability to look both glamorous and age-appropriate at the same time: &amp;quot;she looks good and actually dresses her age which is refreshing!&amp;quot; commenter glittrdancr7 said. And there&amp;#x27;s a good reason for that. Elle is on the cover of Teen Vogue this month, where she shares the reasoning behind her intentionally unscandalous look: &amp;quot;Unlike the majority of her classmates, who hike up their uniform skirts and wear &amp;#x27;lots of makeup,&amp;#x27; Elle is not a fan of looking too adult. She prefers her uniform below the knees &amp;#x27;to change it up,&amp;#x27; and she never wears black&amp;amp;#8212;&amp;#x27;well, almost never,&amp;#x27; she says. &amp;#x27;I&amp;#x27;d much rather look like a two-year-old than a 21-year-old.&amp;#x27; She&amp;#x27;s obsessed with Marni shoes&amp;amp;#8212;&amp;#x27;the clunky ones,&amp;#x27; she explains, &amp;#x27;because I feel like I&amp;#x27;m too young to wear a super stiletto.&amp;#x27; Other things she deems off-limits until she&amp;#x27;s older are diamond jewels, red lipstick, and gowns. &amp;#x27;You don&amp;#x27;t want to do everything right now,&amp;#x27; she says. &amp;#x27;You want to wait for that special moment.&amp;#x27;&amp;quot; Well, how level-headed is that for a child star!? It&amp;#x27;s the same philosophy my father used on me when my friends were getting brand new BMWs for their 17th birthdays and I got a decade-old clunker--&amp;quot;What will you have to look forward to when you&amp;#x27;re older?&amp;quot; was his completely wise (in retrospect) line of thinking--and I love that she seems grounded enough to know that growing up too fast actually isn&amp;#x27;t that cool. In a world where 17-year-olds dress like this, we have to hand it to Elle for keeping it real! What do you dolls think? Isn&amp;#x27;t she adorable and darling and seriously admirable for an adolescent? Discuss!
