Elle Fanning in L.A.

Posted on Mar 20, 2013 in Celebrity

Adorbs:

Elle Fanning arrives in Los Angeles.

Acne Lia Twist Knit Sweater. Thierry Lasry ‘Sexxxy’ Sunglasses. Miu Miu Jeweled Cap-toe Sneaker.

And we NEVER say “adorbs.” We’re permanently opposed to its usage, along with “totes.”

But we can’t help it. She really does look adorbs here. Like a real teenager. A real teenager with access to 600-dollar sneakers, 400-dollar sunglasses, and a 300-dollar sweater. Basically, she looks like one of our nieces, except her clothes are worth a mortgage payment.

If we were appointed editors in chief of a fashion or celebrity mag, we’d immediately do away with those “GET THE LOOK FOR LESS” features and instead use the space for “CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS OUTFIT COSTS MORE THAN A FUCKING CAR?!?”

Which is why no one will ever appoint us editors in chief of a fashion or celebrity mag, more’s the pity.

… does this mean short-alls are back in? I totally had a pair of those when I was 11 or 12. And they were definitely white denim.

  I wore pretty much this same outfit (minus the shiny shoes and sweater) whenever I went to Six Flags as a teen. It was really handy having that pocket on top to keep stuff in. More fashionable than a fanny pack!

Awww, cute. I used to wear short overalls when I was a teenager. I’m not kidding I really did.

  I loved my “shortalls”. The only thing I disliked about them (and my regular overalls) was going to the bathroom.

    She is a celeb .. she probably has people for that.
- Eclectic Mayhem
  
  Don’t tell anyone but I had some tie-dyed ones that I bought at the Glastonbury Festival back in ’88… Brits call them dungarees.
  
  And what we call ‘overalls’ you guys call ‘coveralls’.
  
  *sigh* it’s really complicated!

“CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS OUTFIT COSTS MORE THAN A FUCKING CAR?!?”

Just spit water all over the file on my desk. Thanks, boys.

that sweater fills me with lust

My first thought was that finally she looked completely at ease, and completely the age she is.

  yes, but tinfoil bedazzled shoes should be Rasputined– poisoned, stabbed, and dumped in the river.

      Unholy shoes of vile shine

      With all of the talent on this blog, we should start a fashion/poetry mag called “Haute & Haiku”.

    I don’t hate them on her, but if any adult were wearing them, I’d completely agree with you.
  - alyce1213
    
    Perfectly fine for a 14-year-old.

      Callin’ on Hall and Oates for this one:
      I can’t go for that… no,no. no can do

    Agreed; the over all look is cute and age appropriate but those tennies are just fug…
    
    Especially for costing more than my monthly car payment.

    But you only get to wear something so foolish at her age. She should enjoy it now.

Hmmm… You could probably find this outfit at Goodwill. Just add in the purchase of a hot glue gun and some sparklies from Hobby Lobby, and you’ve got a 1.5k+ outfit for $30.

  I wondered what Hobby Lobby was for….
siriuslover

hahahahahaha! EXACTLY! I’m struggling to make my mortgage and car payment and these clothes are just tossed at celebs.

But on the relevant point: it is sooo nice to see her looking (and acting, with that giggle) her age. Don’t try to grow up too soon.

Anybody with money: Kickstarter? I’d wallpaper my house with that magazine.

See, it’s posts like this that make me wish I were an eloquent writer.
I went from thinking “awe, totes adorbs” (more or less) to trying to get over my sudden indignation at the cost of those budget looking pieces and the world in which they exist. There’s a deep social commentary in there somewhere, but I can’t extract it in pithy comment form.
Nancy Dunn

If I had a magazine, I would definitely appoint you guys editors! She does look adorbs! I am 51, and had that out about 37 years ago. She is cute and appropriate. Still has a shiny face, though. I wonder why?

And I don’t think she photographs that well, but I heard a film critic say she was breathtaking in her new movie. She seems like a nice kid from the pictures.

If I looked this cute in an uber-expensive outfit, I’d sell off the car.
MilaXX

My thoughts exactly. She looks her age and so very happy, it’s impossible to look at her and not smile.

The sweater is very 1989 The Limited shaker knit. (You know – the one everybody in your class wore.)

  I KNEW I’d seen that before! Shaker knits!
alyce1213

The entire ensemble could be duplicated top to toes for less than a hundred bucks, much less. Yeah, I know it’s her money and she can spend it how she wants, I just think it’s wasteful and indulgent. She’s 14!

She does look adorbs. And perfectly her age, in a good way.

I’ve never used “adorbs”. It reminds me of creepy things, so no. No adorbs, but she looks great.

The Uncles should be editors of a celebrity magazine. I would totes read it. Anyways, the clothes. She looks so happy, and just like a teenager should. Adorbs.
choco

she is strangely what I would imagine a child-meryl-streep to look and dress like……. is that weird?

Overalls are back? Goody!
wildemoose

Overall shorts can’t be back. I remember when they were in the first time and I don’t feel like I’m old enough to be around for the second coming of a trend.

I totally wore that outfit in 1995. Granted, it wasn’t worth a mortgage payment or two.

  I would add that I love her in this.
Imasewsure

Yes well remember, none of this cost her a thing… and I say go celebs…mere mortal financial standards do not apply… and she looks fantastically cute.
BaddestMotherEver

Your magazine would be the only one I would feel safe putting in my daughters’ hands! “Girls, you need some gay uncles…”
nancymae

Truth be told, this may be her personal best.
BrooklynBomber

Best I’ve seen her.
nannypoo

Adorable outfit. But there is no excuse for that hair with its pointy, scraggly ends. A simple trim would make a huge difference.
http://twitter.com/JoannaOC JoannaOC

She does a tremendous job in Sally Potter’s new film Ginger and Rosa. Do go see it if you get the chance.
libraangel

Cute-cute, but I had on the same thing – 20 years ago
http://onionjam.tumblr.com SkipperJane

I think I wore some version of this outfit (minus the blinged-out sneakers) for my first day of sophomore year of high school. I guess the 90s really are back.
Pterodactyl111

I can never sign off on overall on anyone, ever, for any reason. Sorry.
http://twitter.com/CaitrinofFenris Caitrin

14 year olds get to wear what they want unless it’s like laced with crack or something. Course, if that is happening, you got bigger problems than fashion, but you know what I mean. In 3 tiny short years she’s going to be torn up one side and down the other for what she wants to wear while she experiments (as we all did at that age with only our mothers and friends to agree or disagree), so this time will be all to short unless she gives up her career.
Amelia

She is too old for this and looks ridiculous. Overalls are for small children, not teenagers.
http://twitter.com/lenabena_ Elena

Pretty sure I wore this exact outfit when I was 8 years-old in 1997.
kathrineb

If you want to wear overalls and silver sneakers, your teen years are when to do it. Good on her for embracing that.

Totes adorbs.
Cathy S

Cute. But the shoes should be jettisoned. They look enough like a shiny airplane to fly. Yuck.

My God, this looks like my mid-nineties childhood.
padma sallah

Aside from the part where I’d have to sell body parts to even own one of those items, I like this look of her the best so far. She looks so adorable and age-appropriate, it is impossible not to love the outfit or her.
andreawey

haha before the cost was mentioned, I thought she had gotten this outfit from Sears……of course she looks cute and age appropriate but 300 bucks for an unremarkable cotton sweater wtf……
