Elle Fanning provides examples of the following tropes:

• Follow the Leader: Takes the same kinds of roles her sister Dakota took earlier.
• Hair of Gold: Fellow actress Chloë Grace Moretz called her an "ethereal forest elf."
• Meganekko: As if she wasn't cute enough, she's near-sighted and wears glasses occasionally.
• Statuesque Stunner: At age 18 in 2016 she is 5'9" tall. When she was younger was clearly a Huge Schoolgirl.
• Younger Than They Look: Due to her height and overall appearance, she could and can appear much older than than she actually is, as can be seen in this 2011 photo shot.
  • She even looks older then her sister, who is 4 years older.
