Elle Fanning Celebrates 21st Birthday with Max Minghella!

Elle Fanning is all smiles while heading into Craig’s restaurant for her 21st birthday celebration on Tuesday night (April 9) in West Hollywood, Calif.

The actress was joined by Max Minghella, who she was rumored to be dating last year.

Max directed Elle in the movie Teen Spirit, which hits theaters this weekend. They have been hard at work promoting the film this week and will be in attendance at screenings this weekend at the ArcLight Hollywood.

Elle‘s older sister Dakota Fanning took to Instagram to celebrate the big day.

“21 TODAY @ellefanning! Hard for me to believe. It feels like yesterday that I woke up in the little cot next to Mom in the hospital, and asked ‘What is it?’ Meaning did I have a new baby brother or sister? As we know, I had a sister, and my life got better in that instant,” she wrote. “I will always be there to zip up your dress (and maybe hold your hair back tonight 😉 just kidding!!) and help you in every way I can. I LOVE YOU!”

FYI: Elle is wearing a For Love & Lemons dress.
