Happy it's spring! Dakota Fanning models rose-tinted sunglasses and floral minidress as she carries an iced coffee in NYC

The first day of spring came last week.

And Dakota Fanning is clearly ready for the new season as headed to the Today show in New York City on Monday morning in a floral mini dress with rose-tinted glasses and cute purple platform heels.

The blonde, 24, was also wearing a bright smile, probably because her new TV series, The Alienist, is a hit.

The Twilight star wore a plunging printed dress, despite the fact that it's still cold on the East Coast.

She matched the print with a pair of electric purple platform heels and a leather trench coat with a fur pink collar.

The Hollywood it-girl made her exit in a fun pair of accessories including round frames with pastel pink lenses.

She paired the vibrant look with a pink, blue and green Chanel PVC shoulder bag to hold her belongings.

The glasses and trench were also seen on the former child star later in the day as she made a cross-city trek in a much cozier look.

Her outfit for this afternoon was much more weather appropriate for the frigid New York City temperatures.

She traded in her heels for a pair of white sneakers and covered her legs in a pair of floral print leggings. Dakota also wore a hoodie to add an extra layer of warmth. 

The sister of Elle Fannning also made sure to let her skin breathe as she stripped herself from her makeup that she wore for the 'Today' Show taping.

Dakota recently made her directional debut for Italian fashion house, Miu Miu. 

She was asked to create her own short film which followed Ava DuVernay as she moved into her first loft in Brooklyn. 

When speaking to Vanity Fair on what it's like working behind the camera, rather than in front of it Dakota said: 'The post-production and the magic that happens in the editing room with color timing and sound mixing and talking with the composer and the music supervisor—that’s where it all kind of comes together.'
