Two is always better than one, and when you get two Fanning sisters together on the red carpet, it’s undoubtedly going to be a fashionable sight to behold.

Practically since the day they were born, Dakota and Elle Fanning have been stealing the spotlight at Hollywood events. It all started at premieres for movies like The Cat in the Hat and Uptown Girls, where the two were unbelievably cute in tiny blouses, babydoll dresses, and overalls. But since splashing onto the scene as child actors, the Fanning siblings have not only developed into virtuosic performers, but also stylistic chameleons, showing off their various tastes at fashion show front rows, fundraisers, and more.

And while the sisters have each blazed their own careers, they’ve still managed to spend many a red carpet by each other’s side. Ahead, see all of Dakota and Elle Fanning’s best joint style moments over the years.
