She enjoyed a night out on the tiles with pals on Saturday night and it looked like the fun was continuing the following day for Elle Fanning.

The actress was all smiles - and giggles - as she headed to The Six restaurant in Studio City with a male companion.

Wearing a cute sundress with floral print, Elle, 17, was perfectly dressed for the California sunshine.

For a casual touch the We Bought A Zoo star donned white trainers and carried a stylish matching handbag.

She left her lightened locks loose in a centre-parting and went make-up free for a fresh-faced look.

Elle showed no signs of tiredness even though she was up until the early hours of Sunday hanging out with her pals at trendy West Hollywood spot Chateau Marmont. 

Much like her daytime outing, the teen star couldn't contain her giggles as she left the celebrity hot spot.

The actress - born Mary Elle Fanning - will soon be seen as transgender teen called Ray in the indie drama Three Generations alongside Naomi Watts, Susan Sarandon, and Tate Donovan.

Elle told Teen Vogue of the flick which hits theatres September 18 'Taking this special journey with Ray showed me the human capacity for love, courage, and acceptance,'

'Along the way, I came to realize how many transgender people do not experience the same compassion and support, and I hope this film brings more awareness to their struggle.'
