Coming Into My Own

Elle Fanning is on the cover of the May issue of Marie Claire magazine. The young starlet joins Elizabeth Olsen, Emilia Clarke, Kate Mara, and Lupita Nyong’o as this month’s cover girl. Highlights from her interview are below.

On one of her quirks: “I love to do my homework in the doll room. It’s where we keep our collection of Madame Alexander dolls! We get one every Christmas and every birthday.”

On choosing to audition for Aurora in Maleficent: “You know how each [Disney] princess has a different hair color and dress? I identified with Aurora and her long blonde hair, so to get to play her was a huge thing, because she’s mine! My princess.”

On her take risk style: “When it comes to what I wear, I always try to choose something no one’s seen before. I at least try to create a look that’s interesting, even if someone hates it!”
