Dakota Fanning’s Instagram Selfie Game is on Point!

Check out some of Dakota Fanning's best selfie looks!

2016 was Fanning’s first year on the popular photo-sharing app, and it was a particularly busy one for selfies. This post from March allowed Fanning to play with filters like this Easter-related one, which she would repeat a few years later for her 2018 Easter pic.

A selfie from April 2016 found the actress in a pair of cool Miu Miu Wink sunglasses. In early 2016, Fanning appeared in a number of photos around New York City, always wearing a different pair of shades. (She is a fashion icon after all!) This selfie also began Fanning’s habit of sticking her tongue out in selfies.

Fanning shared a far more alluring selfie in May of 2016, proclaiming: “?When your eyes, choker puffs and shirt match?” There isn’t a ton of context to this post except that Fanning was seen out and about in New York … wearing different shades each time.

This is just one of a number of IG pics that featured Fanning with her furry friends. In this case, the “cotton ball” was named Lewellen, which is oddly the same as the name of Fanning’s character in the controversial 2007 drama, Hounddog. Fanning was also seen regularly walking a black pug.

“Miami, it was nice to meet you and you will be seeing lots of me in the future,” was Fanning’s message in June 2016 while wearing a fetching green dress. We have no idea what she was doing in Miami or what that cryptic message means, so we can assume maybe she was filming something in Florida?

Fanning was just hanging out for some “?summer sips?” when she shared this candid selfie as she sipped from a coconut. The actress was bouncing back and forth between New York and Los Angeles a lot during the summer of 2016.

Fanning's tongue was back out in September of 2016 when she took this selfie modeling an elegant red dress she had worn the night before at a Hollywood Foreign Press party at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). Fanning was at TIFF for the premiere of Ewan McGregor’s American Pastoral, in which she costarred.

It was election day in November 2016, and Fanning showed off her “I Voted” sticker on that infamous tongue we had seen so much on her Instagram feed. A few nights earlier, Fanning attended the opening of the posthumous Anton Yelchin photography exhibit at Other, and she’d remain in Los Angeles for a few more days.

Fanning celebrated her 23rd birthday in February of 2017 with a different kind of animal, a balloon unicorn she made herself. “This balloon kween (who I just made) encapsulates my birthday mood. #goldenbirthday #23onthe23rdwudup”

In April 2017, Fanning took another candid selfie before hitting the hay with the thought, “Forever bruised knee caps, Mario Badescu pimple cream and a semi-sexy colonial nightgown = A BANGING TUESDAY NIGHT.” Less than a month later, Fanning would appear at the TV Upfronts in New York for The Alienist.

Fanning was back in London aka “Lon Don” in July 2017 showing off a sheer pink blouse and enjoying a cocktail a few days after she had been seen attending Wimbledon. “??#whisperingangel #spiritdrink#rosévibez ??

In a rare selfie video in October 2017, Fanning pimped the Gabriela Hearst handbag collection that would be selling online to raise awareness for famine relief. Just two weeks later, Fanning would be back at Save the Children’s annual gala, helping to promote one of the actresses' preferred charities.

After a short respite from the selfies, Fanning posted a less glamorous shot in March 2018 while relaxing and getting a facial for a very special day. “Taking care of myself on this #internationalwomensday All ladies should do the same! We work hard ??”

In October 2018, Fanning was showing off a “sparkly sweater” with no real context except that she seemed to be doing a ton of traveling at the end of 2018.

In November 2018, Fanning showed off a green dress and lamented her natural blonde hair coming through after having a redder tint for much of the year. “?I miss my red hair?”, she posted.

As November 2018 came to an end, Fanning’s travels over the previous few months finally caught up with her. She shared, “How I felt after a 24hr. travel day. A little spotty, eyes a little wonky, hair a little greasy, but still cute ?” A few weeks later, The Alienist would receive a Golden Globe nomination just as Fanning would be in Ethiopia starring in her next movie, Sweetness in the Belly.

“What’s more offensive, the toilet in the bg or my pants with different waistbands?” Fanning asked in her first selfie of 2019, referring to the odd blue jean waistband countering her otherwise black outfit. “I love them very much and will continue wearing them even though they make some uncomfortable,” she added unapologetically.

The day after Valentine’s Day in 2019, Fanning was “Keeping the Valentine Vibes going over here ?” in a chill black and pink sweater. At this time, Fanning had been dating fellow New Yorker Henry Frye for a couple years, so hopefully he did something special for his gal a day earlier.

In early September 2019, Fanning shared a dry cleaning faux pas with “Before the dry cleaners shrunk my sweater, more of a crop top now. ??‍♀️” A few days later, she was defending her casting as a white Muslim Ethiopian in the movie Sweetness in the Belly, which debuted a clip before its Toronto International Film Festival debut.
