The short hem makes this dress flirty, while the intricate designs on the white tulle give it a dainty and elegant vibe. The ribbon at the waist cinches this dress to create a neat waistline. Dakota normally wears her hair parted in the middle and straight down, but for this look, she spices it up with a sparkly double headband.

One-Shoulder Mini Dress.

Beige isn't the most exciting hue, but the details on this dress make the color truly enviable. This dress has it all: lace, feathers, embellishments and a sheer shoulder. Normally, mixing too many textures can look like designer ADD. But because this dress is all one color, the different textures work together beautifully.

Bustier Bubble Hem Dress.

When a few of Dakota Fanning's formal dance pictures leaked on the internet thanks to Facebook, they showed her wearing this bright pink dress-which she also wore to the premiere of her movie Coraline. It's no wonder Dakota chose to wear this dress again. The color plays nicely against her fair complexion, while the bustier top is flattering to her figure. The boning in the bustier and the oversized pleating in the skirt add dimension to the single hue. Her gold heels add a nice sparkley element to the look.

Sparkly A-Line Dress.

Sparkly A-Line Dress

Dakota is wearing a classic a-line shaped dress with bells and whistles that make it perfect for prom. The sheer top is dainty without being overly sexy, while the silver sparkle droplets over her shoulders look like a cute little sunburst. A simple black shoe was a great choice for this dress-it doesn't compete with the abundance of sparkles on her dress.
