It’s just a wig! Little Dakota Fanning was spotted in East London filming scenes for her new film Now Is Good and shocked us all with her new short hair. While she is able to totally pull it off, unlike some other celebs I can think of, it is indeed just a wig.Dakota’s new film sees her as a young girl dying of leukemia. The film is based on Jenny Downham’s book Before I Die. Well, this doesn’t seem like it’s going to a particularly happy flick. It’s cool. We all need a good cry now and then, right? This explains why she was missing from the Twilight Breaking Dawn panel at Comic-Con. I’m sure she was sorely missed.

So what are your thoughts on the wig? Love it? Hate it? Want it? Personally I can’t wait to see the film. Make sure to launch the gallery and take a look at the hair from all sides. Good times.

Most people probably think of actress Dakota Fanning as a child star. She has won critical acclaim for many roles, most recently as Cherie Currie in the film The Runaways. If that role did not convince folks that she is not a little girl anymore, her ad for the scent Oh, Lola! will do the trick.

The fragrance was launched recently by fashion designer Marc Jacobs according to reports. In the ad the young star can be seen posing with an oversized bottle of the scent. In other shots she nestles a small bottle against her cheek.
 
This is not the first collaboration for the pair, as indicated by this Jacobs quote from Women`s Wear Daily, “I`ve been a big fan of Dakota since the first time I saw her in a movie, and we made her a wardrobe in her size when she was 12, which was pretty incredible.” He went on to say that seeing her in The Runaways convinced him that she was perfect for the Oh, Lola! campaign.
