Spokesperson for Miu Miu, Front row at Fashion Week’s best shows and starring in the summer’s must see movie, Maleficent alongside Angelina Jolie, we can’t even believe that the young and beautiful Elle Fanning is only 16 years old! Covering FASHION Magazine‘s Summer issue and Photographed by Mark Williams and Sara Kirahawa, Fanning looks dainty and more sophisticated than her age in these stunning images.

Princess Aurora sits down with FASHION Magazine and discusses her new role as a fairytale character, working alongside actor heavyweight Angelina Jolie, and her love for acting.

On her distaste for uniformity, and recalling her role in Phoebe in Wonderland as a character living with Tourette Syndrome:

“Who wants to be the same? It’s so boring. One of the lines I love is about not being one of the ‘awful normals.’ You have to have diversity in the world or we’d be clones. That would be terrible—especially in fashion!”

On her Maleficent costar, Angelina Jolie:

“When she walks in the room, everyone notices her presence. She’s really that powerful. I was nervous to meet her at first, but after we hugged, I was fine.”

On the stereotypes that exist in films today:

“There are still a lot of movies where women are dependent on the guy. We don’t always need a love interest. We can stand on our own. There are so many movies where guys are alone, doing their own thing, so I don’t see why we can’t have that too.”

On her love of acting:

“I always think of it as make-believe. That’s why I love this job, and think I’ll never get tired of it: You are creating something you haven’t felt or experienced before.”
