She loves to experiment with fashion and Dakota Fanning pulled out the stops once again on Monday.

The 21-year-old wore a show-stopping prom style dress to the presentation of the Cruise 2016 Resort collection by Christian Dior at the Palais Bulles in Theoule-sur-Mer, France.

The strapless white gown was fitted in the bodice and had a black design running throughout, with a full-skirted section which had an origami detail at the front.

In a nod to fairytale glamour, the dress was given extra volume with layers of black netting underneath it which gave the design some oomph.

She was in good company on the day with French actress Marion Cotillard also in attendance.

The 39-year-old went for a edgy collarless coat worn with statement platform heels which had an elegant ankle strap.

Also there to show her support was Mad Max actress, Zoe Kravitz, 26, who showed off her slim physique in a white crop top and matching mini skirt.

Dakota was seen arriving in France earlier on in the day ahead of the Cannes Film Festival, which is set to kick off on May 13.

The actress was spotted making her way through Nice airport as she touched down in Southern France to prepare for her part in the annual festival.

Dakota is also a part-time student at New York University as well as having thriving acting career.

And though she appears mature and clearly has progressed professionally, many still see her as the adorable little girl from such movies like I Am Sam (2001) and Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat (2003).

Dakota admitted to Nylon magazine that she understands people may forever see her as a child star - and has accepted the fact.

'I've made my peace with the fact that there will be some people, for the rest of my life, will believe I'm nine-years-old.

She added: 'I have this joke that I'm literally going to be 35, married, and pregnant and people are still going to say, "Oh my god, you grew up so fast! I can't believe it!"

'And sometimes when you're 21 years old and people are still saying that, you just want to rip your hair out.'

But all in all, she feels comfortable in herself for it not to matter. 'I'm OK with it. I know who I am,' she added.

She also admitted that she frequently gets mistaken for an Olsen (as in Mary-Kate, Ashley, and Elizabeth Olsen), and she does not intend on having a presence on social media.
