Dakota Fanning's Awkward Stage

1. Making snarky meanspirited comments about adult celebrities' attire is one thing.

But would you please leave the children alone.

There are some lines of decency, even in the trash-journalism trade, okay...

3. Why are you picking on a 12yr old girl? I mean you have a endless list of people who deserve it!

4. Child bashing is never acceptable.

5. I'm in agreement with the first two comments.

6. Give the girl a break. She's only a mere 12 years old. it's nice to see someone who's young, innocent and a little naive and not caught up in all the bull sh*t of fashion, being painfully thin and tangled up with a fast partying crowd.

7. She's 12 and she probably likes this dress. I really don't think it is THAT bad At least she isn't trying to dress older than she is. Why not pick on somebody who really deserves it.

8. At least she isn't trying to dress like a streetwalker!

9. You people ought to be ASHAMED of yourselves for making fun of a sweet 12 year old girl. If people were picking on your children how would you feel?

I think that what she is wearing is fine and totally appropriate for the movie. The main character girl (in the book) wore a dress like this on the cover. If she was dressed like so many other 12 year olds running around this country that try to look 18 years of age or older, you would have written that she looked like a whore. Instead you insult her and say that she needs a makeover. Unbelievable.

10. I think its refreshing to see a star who isn't letting it all hang out, she looks age appropriate in that dress and let's not forget she is ONLY 12!!!

11. TMZ is right. My daughter is 13 and you couldn't get her to put that on past the age of 6.

12. GEEEEEEEEZE TMC
STOOPING PRETTY LOW TO BE ON THE ATTACK OF A 12 YEAR OLD
Pretty pathetic when you have nothing to post about to go to such measures.
She's a cutie and does not deserve a punch like that

13. I like the dresses Dakota wears to movie premieres. She always looks ladylike and is adorable.

Lindsay Lohan this is not. Leave CHILDREN alone!!!

15. Aw leave the girl alone. I think she looks sweet. Like a twelve-yr-old should. What did you expect her clothes to be like? A fashionista like Victoria Beckham?
