Yesterday, Dakota Fanning stunned in scarlet as she made an appearance at the Empire State Building in New York City. To celebrate the International Day of the Girl, the 22-year-old actress was invited to light up the Big Apple landmark. While the seasoned star is certainly a shining example for other young women, her eternally chic style is also worth admiring.

We are loving her bright red sleeveless frock, which flatters her porcelain complexion and emphasizes her toned figure. Meanwhile, her long navy-coloured wool coat and funky nude mules add a polished effect. If you’re aiming to steal her New York City style, here’s how to get the look for yourself.

1) Calvin Klein Sleeveless Sheath Dress, $159: This classic Calvin Klein sheath dress is sure to flatter your curves and create a feminine silhouette. The high neckline and elegant above-the-knee length are also perfectly modest and suitable for either work or play.

2) Michael Michael Kors Long Belted Wool Blend Coat, $277: For a graceful and neutral layer over your vivid dress, try slipping into this belted and army inspired wool blend coat. The deep navy blue colour, A-line cut and bold buttons wrap up the design.

3) Jessica Simpson Leather Pointy Toe Mule, $80: To emphasize your legs in the timeless red dress, step out in a pair of neutral leather mules with cut-out accents. This pair by Jessica Simpson features pointed toes, stiletto heels and wide straps.
