And in the caption, she humorously shared that she was "25 going on 5" as her mother had "the genius idea" of getting her a cake that was modeled after the same toy set Elle had in storage and "executed it to perfection." The actress shared a side-by-side of the toy set and the cake that was nearly identical and ended the caption with, "It's always important to keep your childlike lens on life. I hold that little girl near to me as I get older always."

After the Fanning family relocated to Los Angeles from Georgia, Dakota landed her first acting gig in a national Tide commercial in 2001, and her big break came that same year. After her audition left the director and the rest of the crew blown away, Dakota landed a role in "I am Same," sharing the screen with Sean Penn and Michelle Pfeiffer.

During an interview, Elle Fanning revealed that her sister's career took off before hers and humorously shared that she used to be the "worst" when she would add fuel to the fire whenever Dakota would be recognized during her child star days. Now the sisters share an inseparable bond and "balance each other in a very specific way."
