Before Elle Fanning hits the big screen as Princess Aurora opposite Angelina Jolie in Maleficent, she’s playing a fashion princess in Paris during fashion week. The star of Miu Miu’s spring campaign, the 15-year-old (soon to be 16-year-old!) actress was all smiles in the front row yesterday.

We caught up with her to talk getting older (as in turning 16) and learning to drive.
Hi Elle, do you mind answering a few questions for… ELLE?

Ha, sure, Elle for ELLE!

I know you’re a big fan of the brand…

This is the first Miu Miu show I’ve ever been to. I got to do the campaign, so I’m so excited to be here.
What was the experience like of shooting the campaign?

It was very fun. That collection in particular I loved, it all looked like sherbet. It was so girly, and I’m a fairly girly girl, so I love it.

How would you describe your style– has it evolved?

I’m getting older: I’ll be 16 soon.

Sweet 16!

Yeah, it’s a big deal! And I feel like I’m dressing a bit older, but it’s kinda just how I feel. I haven’t been analyzing it. I just put on what I want to put on. It’s like, ‘I don’t hate that today.’ I’m discovering some things in my closet that I used to wear and bringing them back. I never get rid of anything. I always keep it all.
Are you an organized closet person?

Messy organized. It’s very messy but I know where everything is.
So, any birthday plans?

I might not be in town for my sweet 16 so I had a dinner with my friends already, so now I’m just going to be with my family.
If you could get anything for your birthday…

That’s so hard! I haven’t even thought about what to get. I like really weird gifts. Someone already gave me antique opera glasses made out of pearl. They’re really cool.
And are you driving?

Nooo! I don’t have my permit because I haven’t had time to learn the stuff. I mean, it’s hard. They ask you things, that, like, my mom doesn’t even know the answer. But I’m definitely going to learn. [Source]
