Too sexy for 13 and 17? Elle and Dakota Fanning's controversial photo shoots

Too sexy for 13 and 17? Elle and Dakota Fanning's controversial photo shoots

Teen acting whizzes Dakota and Elle Fanning are aged 17 and 13 respectively - so naturally, people are freaking out over the above images of the blonde sisters.
Dakota is the face of new Marc Jacobs fragrance Oh Lola - and the designer wanted his model to reference Lolita, the notorious story of an underaged girl who has a sexual relationship with her much older stepfather.

"When we were speaking about who to use in the ads, I had recently seen [Dakota in] The Runaways," Marc said.

"I knew she could be this contemporary Lolita, seductive yet sweet."

The 'Lolita' frilly dress/lollipop/pigtails theme has been referenced in pop culture many times since the novel became popular in the 50's - but is Marc's image of Dakota with the perfume bottle between her legs a bit much?

Meanwhile, Dakota's lil sis Elle has appeared in a fashion spread for Marie Claire magazine at the age of 13. Most of the photos from the shoot look fresh and pretty - bar one where Elle is wearing fishnets and another (above) where she dons a pair of hotpants.

"It would be sultry if it was a 29-year-old," commented gossip blog Celebitchy.

"Because it’s a 13-year-old, it’s bordering on 'too much.'"
