Elle Fanning Celebrates 16th Birthday With a Bash, Not a Learner's Permit

Nothing says fresh faces like fresh friendships.

Cover girls Lupita Nyong'o, Kate Mara, Elle Fanning, Elizabeth Olsen, and Emilia Clarke were the five stars honored at Marie Claire's Fresh Faces Party at the Soho House in West Hollywood on Tuesday. Lupita, Kate, and Elle hung out inside the bash (Olsen and Clarke were not able to attend due to filming commitments), but since it was the eve of her 16th birthday, it was Fanning who truly held court.

"It's sweet 16, so it's a big deal," the "Maleficent" star smiled, while talking to reporters on the red carpet. "I went back to school on Monday, so I'll be in school tomorrow — which is kind of exciting too, because your friends will bring you cupcakes."

Elle also celebrated the big 1-6 earlier this year, just so sister Dakota could be in attendance.
