Dakota Fanning looked every bit the prim and proper Victorian lady on the set of her new film Effie in Venice, Italy. The 17-year-old actress plays the title role in the film, which tells the story of the infamous love triangle between 19th-century art critic John Ruskin, his young wife Effie Gray, and artist John Everett Millais. The film was written by Emma Thompson, who also co-stars.
For Fanning, Effie gives her the chance to take on a role that she has never played: wife. “I think actually in films I’ve done more adult things in other ones than I have in this one,” Dakota told the Associated Press. “But this is my first time being a wife and all of that, which is actually kind of exciting and very fun.”
The film's period costumes are also new to the experienced young actress. "Wearing a corset every day has been...interesting," she revealed. "It really does make you feel like you are someone else in a different time. It takes a while to get dressed in the morning and to take everything off, and you kind of get a glimpse into what it was like not being able to take your own clothes off."
Effie will hit theaters sometime in 2012.
