She's no shrinking violet! Elle Fanning dazzles in beaded lilac dress at 20th Century Women screening

She has solidified her status not just as one of Hollywood's top starlets, but also as a fashionista.

And Elle Fanning once more was showing off her style expertise as she attended a screening of her new film, 20th Century Women, at the  Hamptons International Film Festival on Sunday.

The 18-year-old worked her magic in a beaded lilac mini dress that was belted at the waistline as to flatter her slim figure as she walked the red carpet at East Hampton, New York.

The intricately adorned dress was sheer at the top, had ruffled sleeves, and a flowing skirt.

But the Super 8 actress also gave extra special attention to her hairdo and makeup, both of which were minimal yet super chic.

Look lovely in a lilac Elie Saab dress like Elle

Elle Fanning rocked the red carpet at the screening of her new film 20th Century Women, at the Hamptons International Film Festival on Sunday.

Wearing a cute Elie Saab lilac embellished dress, the actress accessorised her look with a matching waist belt and silver strappy heeled sandals.

We love the fit and flare shape of this skater dress which is universally flattering; meanwhile the pretty hue and beaded embellishment exude femininity.

Elle, whose older sister is actress Dakota Fanning, slicked her blonde hair up into a neat and sleek top knot as her blemish-free complexion shone with a shimmering coat of champagne-hued eye shadow, mascara, light pink blush, and lip gloss.

Continuing on with the elegant look, the actress had on a coal of shiny gold nail polish while standing tall in a pair of strappy silver heels.

20th Century Women features the Neon Diamond star alongside Annette Bening, Greta Gerwig Lucas Jade Zumann and Billy Crudup.
