She's a teen style star.

But even Elle Fanning doesn't take her fashion seriously all the time.

The 17-year-old actress was spotted make-up free while wearing a silly cartoon-printed sweatshirt as she enjoyed brunch with her mom Heather Joy Arrington at Joan's On Third in Studio City on Saturday.

The Maleficent star paired her colourful zip-up with black and grey athletic shorts which were detailed with white piping.

The younger sister of Dakota Fanning completed her sporty look with a pair of fuchsia trainers, as her blonde locks flowed down, appearing to be air-dried.

After fuelling up, Elle and her mum made a stop at Michael's Arts and Crafts store.

The actress - born Mary Elle Fanning - will soon be seen as a 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 realise how many transgender people do not experience the same compassion and support, and I hope this film brings more awareness to their struggle.'

The teenage star has been keeping rather busy as she has around ten projects on the horizon.

One of the other highly-anticipated upcoming films is titled The Neon Demon as she plays a young woman who is the envy of all other models and actresses in Hollywood and is soon devoured by these beauty obsessed women.

The movie is helmed by director Nicolas Winding Refn and cast includes Christina Hendricks, Keanu Reeves, Abbey Lee, Jenna Malone and Jamie Clayton. The Neon Demon is set for release in March 2016.

Elle kicked off her career in show business as a toddler, playing the younger versions of her now 21-year-old sister, Dakota, who also was a child actress.

At age seven, Dakota had her breakout role in 2001's I Am Sam and Elle played a younger version of her character Lucy Diamond Dawson, before finding fame in Daddy Day Care and We Bought A Zoo.

In 2011, Elle went on to play the strong-minded Cleo in Sofia Coppola's film Somewhere, for which she won the Young Hollywood's Actress of the Year award.
