omg, people who are calling here a 'whore' and stuff why dont you just leave this page, and go back to playing club penguin. calling her names just because your all jelous of her. she is really pritty and beautiful, and such a good actoress, she's perfect.

This is a shocker to me because I remember Dakota from movies when she was really little. To go from an adorable 8 year old to a foxy 17 year old is a bit unsettling but I'm not her dad so it's really not my say. If her parents are ok with the pics then what right do any of us have to argue over it being inapropriate? Let's all just shut up and enjoy the pics and pray we don't see her as a centerfold anytime soon.

she looks gorgeous!Still cant believe she is the same girl from Uptown Girls and Dreamer!Dakota has come a long way!

Wow, she looks amazing, I love the first dress.  She doesn't look too old for her age especially when you see what other people her age and younger are wearing.  I love the vintage edge they have given her, she really suits it.  She is a very beautiful young woman and very successful in her life.  People who are being horrible about her are obviously just envious of her but there is really no point.  I think she is great and looks stunning, love the red lips :)

Haters..are jealous!!  Dakota looks GREAT!!! nothing about her looks like a hooker in fact it's just the opposite..she looks very classy!!

my god its just a girl that none of you know and never will.

Oh Just Shut up, thoes of you that have a problem with these photos...Dakota can't stay the sweet little girl from Man on Fire & Charlottes Web...Yes, she's growing up and yes she's 17, but she has to be allowed to make her own way and mistakes...THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THESE PHOTOS...IF your kid is too young to read Elle, then don't let them, simple...Dakota is a bright and talented young woman, her family did not have a problem with her doing this shoot and we do not see her making the bad headlines, like most other 17 year old actresses and actors...SO GIVE THE YOUNG WOMAN A FREAKKING BREAK AND BACK OFF!

She looks great people get over it. Has anyone been to a local high school lately. She is dressed like a school teacher in comparison. and what? next year this will be more appropriate when she 18?

What part of this is inappropriate?? She is a young adult and I think this shoot is a great combination of sexy and classy..She's not the little girl from uptown girls anymore..let her grow up. She's GORGEOUS and a lot more modest then most other 17yr olds these days!!

I think she looks great. She's not a little girl anymore. And, serious, HOOKER???    Where do u guys live?  Under a rock?   She looks classy and vintage.  ADORABLE!!!!

She is just PLAIN BEAUTIFUL IN HER OWN WAY. She looks soooooo grown and DID IT EVER OCCUR TO ANYBODY THAT MAYBE SHE WANTED TO DO IT. SHE DIDNT MATTER IF IT MADE HER LOOK GROWN OR NOT, SHE WANTED TO DO IT, SO LET HER DO WANT SHE WANTS.

Dakota looks absolutely gorgeous in these photos!!..not at all inappropriate..just beautiful..its just right for her age....most 17 year olds now a days dress like tramps and this is inappropriate??...nope! Get'em girl!! Classy and fabulous!

she needs to smile!

I completely agree!!!!! Fabulous!!

I agree she looks so fabulous in theses pics!!! These pics make her resemble Marilyn Monroe (my opinion). But very classy for a 17 year old.

gross

ok so i guess alot of you misunderstood the point of the pics of Dakota...for one they are related to a vampire movie, which if not everyone watches them they are seductive and wear relatively revealing clothing...it seems to be the vampire way...for two i would think that if she didnt like the way she looked or thought that it was inappropriate for her,  she wouldnt be in the pics..they do have a right to say no if they dont want to do them...

Why is everyone having such issues with how she looks?  Yes, she's 17.  In most states, that makes her legal, maybe not to vote, buy cigarettes, or things like that, but she's still legal.  Not to mention, Dakota is a very bright young woman, always wise well beyond her years.  Very smart and I don't think that she would make such risky moves (or take pictures) without thinking well about it or even getting feedback from someone influential on her life (like say, oh, her PARENTS).  I remember when I was 17, I wanted to dress like that (just because it looks flattering and it's very cute).  Remember, kids and young adults these days are way different than the generation that preceded them.  Now, had it been her younger sister, Elle, then yeah, I would be against it.  Truth of the matter is, that a lot of people have opinions.  And that is very good and all, but some people really need to think before they speak.  It's okay to speak your mind, but remember, you are NOT that person in the photos.  You are NOT in their shoes and you are NOT living the life they are.  She is human, and she has a right to choose whatever lifestyle she wants.  Regardless of her age.  If she wants to dress this way for a photo shoot, then let her!  She is a great actress and has a long life ahead of her.  Actors and actresses have been doing this for years.  They do what they want to do, not because they are told to, because it's what they feel like doing.  Chill out folks.  It's not like she's posing for Hustler or selling sex.  I have seen children in pageants before who look more like prostitutes and whores than the pics Dakota is in now. If she's your child, then yes, you have a say on how she dresses.  Apparently, her parents don't have a problem with it, so just chill out.  Sheesh!

She is so beautiful.

Wow I remember she was just so cute and a talented little girl, now she's all grown up.

She does not look like a whore. She just looks too grown up for her age.

I love her.  What happened to the kid in Man on Fire??

she grew up

She's so lovely! 

See she is still young and has a long life ahead of her don't make her grow up before her time.
