Elle's a belle! Ms Fanning, 14, hits the right note in demure and age appropriate maxi dress at Ginger and Rosa premiere

Both she and her elder sister Dakota have been criticised for dressing in a provocative manner for their tender years.
But Elle Fanning, 14, hit the perfect balance at a screening of her new film with Christina Hendricks, Ginger and Rosa, tonight in New York.

Ethereal: Elle Fanning looked demure and rather excellent at the 50th New York Film Festival Premiere of Ginger and Rosa at Alice Tully Hall

The lovely blonde graced the red carpet in a beautiful maxi dress with long sleeves and a mish-mashed vintage inspired print.
It was fitting for the occasion and she looked stunning... but there could be no suggestion that she was dressed beyond her years.
Her make-up was simple and spun-gold locks flowed loose with a slight wave.
Ginger and Rosa tells the story of two teenage girls living in 1960s' London, and the travails of their friendship.
