Last night Dakota swapped the showbiz world of Hollywood for the altogether more down-to-earth location of her high school graduation.
Dakota Fanning attends her high school graduation ceremony at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, Dressed in her blue gown and mortar hat, the smiling blonde posed alongside her classmates.
Her 13-year-old sister Elle, star of the upcoming Super 8, was there to watch as Dakota received her diploma.The pair were joined by their parents Steve, an electronics salesman, and Joy, along various other relatives.
Dakota is more happy with sister Elle, left, and parents Joy and Steve pose with her at her graduation, along with a younger family member.
Despite Dakota's fame she has continued to attend classes, although at £19,000-a-year the private Campbell Hall Episcopal in North Hollywood is not the average high school.Last year she was crowned Homecoming Queen, with the school's star quarterback named King.
Dakota first shot to fame as she starred alongside Sean Penn in the 2001 film I Am Sam at the age of seven, a role which made her the youngest person to receive a Screen Actors Guild award nomination. When not at school Dakota can be found on Hollywood film sets; seen here playing Jane in Twilight.
From being crowned both homecoming princess and homecoming queen to now receiving her diploma, the 17-year-old Breaking Dawn actress is definitely reminding us that, despite all the Hollywood movie star stuff, she's still your typical teen.
Dakota has since built up an impressive celluloid resume, starring alongside Tom Cruise in Steven Spielberg's 2005 remake of H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds and in Twilight as Volturi vampire Jane. But despite her Hollywood career Dakota inists that she is a down-to-earth normal teenager.
She said: 'I have such a normal life when I’m not working. It’s just nice to be around people you care about and who know you best.'
She is more serious about her career with her study.
