Treating herself to a relaxing afternoon, Elle Fanning enjoyed a round of retail therapy in Studio City, California on Wednesday (July 30).

Joined by a gal pal, the “Maleficent” actress looked fun and flirty in a bluish-grey crop top with a matching mini skirt as she laughed and chatted along the way.

In career news, Elle has signed on to play the starring role of Mary Shelley in the forthcoming period drama “A Storm in the Stars.”

Producer Amy Baer told the Hollywood Reporter, "Elle is amazingly smart and talented and very much relates to Mary as a young woman. She is going to do something extraordinary in this role that will transition her from a compelling young adult to a formidable leading lady."
