She's no stranger to dazzling on the red carpet at high-profile events.

The actress, 19, pulled on a pajama-style yellow and white jumpsuit covered in multicolored patterns of a cartoon girl.

The teen star - the younger sister of Dakota Fanning - balanced on a pair of red, yellow, black and white stilettos as she teetered inside the Manhattan studio.
Elle wore her blonde locks straight and accentuated her naturally glowing features with minimal make-up.
The actress had swung by Today to plug her new movie Leap!, an animated movie about a 19th century French girl called Félicie who travels to Paris to become a ballerina.
'It’s so funny actually hearing your voice come out of a little character. You know, you’re like, “Oh, that’s me!” But it’s still interesting,' Elle said.

'I was kind of there from the beginning, before I - before she was even drawn, or before her outfits or exactly what she was gonna look like.
'So, it was actually, it was really neat to get to kinda start from the beginning and, in a way, all do it together and kinda create this world.'
Elle, who recently also starred in Sofia Coppola's The Beguiled, dished added: 'Each time I would go to the studio and have the next session, they would have new little clips to show me, or a new drawing, or something.
'They would record my face while I was doing the voice-over. It wasn’t necessarily like motion capture, but still, they would use some of the facial expressions and mannerisms that I have and put them into her.
'And when I saw the movie, I was like: "Oh, my – I totally do that! I did the voice first, and then they kinda created it around that.

Girl about town: Elle later stopped by the SiriusXM Studios in New York for an interview
'But I do think some other people had to – they came in later and they would do it to the picture.'
Elle - who has been acting since she was a child - also offered viewers her tips on voice acting.
She explained: 'You have to not be shy about it, you can’t help but get a little self-conscious, ‘cause you’re in there, and you’re like, "Oh, well, I have to make this really crazy sound."'
'You don’t have your face or your eyes or anything to rely on. You just – it all has to be through your voice.
