Everyone's a fan of 16-year-old Dakota Fanning -- including her classmates at Campbell Hall in North Hollywood, California. The veteran actress/high school senior was named to her private school's homecoming court for the second year in a row!
In 2009, Dakota was awarded the title of "princess" while proudly wearing her cheerleading uniform and supporting her team, the Vikings, at the homecoming game, but during this year's half-time ceremony on Saturday night, the "Twilight" star ditched her school colors in favor of a funkier ensemble. The teen queen (literally) rocked black tights, boots, and a sparkly frock while accepting a bouquet of red roses, a sash with her title, and the coveted crown.
Dakota explained her decision to go to school -- at least when she's not on a set -- on "Today" last June. "I think it was really important to have the high school experience," she said. "I think that I want [the college] experience as well. I just think everyone always looks back on that time in their life. Who was homecoming princess and [did] the cheerleading ... and all the things that go along with high school? And I wanted to have that. I'm really lucky that I found a school that allows me to do both."
Hmmm ... perhaps she should call Emma Watson for some advice on making the most of her upcoming college years?
Audiences can catch Dakota on the big screen next reprising her role of the evil vampire Jane in the first installment of "Breaking Dawn."
