Dakota Fanning's Awkward Stage

61. She is still a child. Would you rather she follow Britney Spear's example? You really have to get a grip on reality. Children don't need this type of snarky comment!

62. She really looks sweet and age appropriate in this outfit.

Now, if you want to bash a child, why didn't you bash Tom Cruise' s daughter. She really looked gawky in her dress for their wedding. But, even there, she is a kid. ALL kids go through that stage. She looked very happy, so she, too was dressed fine. She will just find all those pictures and tear them up in about 2-4 years!

63. It appears that Hollywood's young women are damned if they do, damned if they don't. If a 12 year old wants to actually dress like a 12 year old, we should be applauding her! Too many young girls/women are dressing beyond their age - I think she's sweet and refreshing. HOWEVER, give her time, she will be showing her skin at some point, I'm sure! :)

64. So we can't comment on the way a 12-year old dresses? Some one needs to get this girl some normal clothes because she looks like a fool. While you're at it, throw in some acting lessons and she might be able to stay in the spotlight past 13.

65. TMZ shame on you! Thank god no one of importance (including myself) visits this site. If you really think they do, you're fooling yourself. Celebrity handlers read this trash and discuss with their clients when appropriate!

I'm ashamed of myself for reading this!

66. I'll admit that D. Fanning is screechingly annoying in some films, but she is a CHILD actor who (thank god) is dressing appropriately for her age. Most people would rather see her take this route than anything along the lines of Lindsay Lohan's rapid progression into whoredom. Let her have a childhood and not worry about how sexy she looks, at least until shes old enough to vote.

69. Court Jester/MC Hammer look????? Are you guys looking at the same picture as we are??? Those aren't MC Hammer pants, idiots........that's a DRESS.....and a lovely one at that. I think you guys (TMZ Staff) have been up too long and drinking too much following the bimbo pak around (Britney, Paris, Lindsay). Get some sleep and oh yeah, leave Dakota alone.....she's only 12 for God's sake!

70. TMZ, this article does not reflect well on your website and you should remove it. Dakota's dress is lovely, she looks pretty, happy and confident, and she is dressed appropriately for her age. Would you prefer she had some cleavage on show? Are you trying to make her feel insecure about her appearance? Shame on whoever wrote this.

71. No way does she look cute or age appropriate. I don't see leg or cleavage. She is 12, time for her to slut it up!!!

72. TMZ isn't there enough trash to bash in HOLLYWOOD without trying to drag a child down for her innocence in style?!*&@^^? What's a matter ya'll bored with bashing the 3 HOLLYWOOD trash whores that you have to revert and pick on a 12 year old. Isn't she a little too young for you people to trash?

Come on ya got Brit flashing her naughty parts all over the place and hangin on to Paris for dear life. There's enough celebrity gossip to keep ya'll busy between those 2 and the latest LOHAN disasater to last for at least another week.

Leave Dakota alone she's just a little gurl and it's too soon to throw her in the tabs and abuse her. Let her keep her innocence for as long as she can before the MEDIA eats her up and spits her out alive!!

73. You guys are so mean! She's only 12, for God's sake!
It's not as if she out flashing her crotch like Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears. She's dressed completely appropriate for a 12-year old.

And as for BJ, who couldn't get her daughter into an outfit like this, perhaps you should try some parental control. If your daughter is telling you what she will and will not do now, you are in for some rough times when she hits puberty!

74. Im sure shes already banged half the producers in hollywood.

75. Leave her alone! If you are or ever will be a parent, you will be happy your daughter is dressing like a little girl and not like a hoochie! Get off her back!
