Dakota Fanning joined Heidi Klum at the 6th annual DKMS Linked Against Blood Cancer gala in New York City, also looking like a real-life princess at the event.

The 18-year-old “Now Is Good” actress wore an ivory Elie Saab chiffon gown (from the designer’s Fall/Winter 2011 Haute Couture collection), which featured a transparent boat neckline and stunning Swarovski embroidery on the bodice. Dakota Fanning paired up her romantic dress with two Cartier “Love” bracelets and the gold version of Jimmy Choo’s “Cameo” clutch (From the Spring 2012 collection).

Dakota is known for two things – wearing her bright blonde hair down without much styling and opting for dresses in ivory, beige or other neutrals. She looks gorgeous every time she appears on a red carpet event, many people would even deem this combo ethereal. However, for us who have seen this look many times before, we think changing it up with more vibrant colors can help her avoid the washed out look. What do you think? Sound off your opinions below…
