They are two of the most famous sisters in Hollywood with equal beauty and talent.

And teen siblings Dakota and Elle Fanning have teamed up for a beautiful pictorial for the latest edition of W Magazine where they talk about their careers and boys.

Dakota, 17, and 13-year-old Elle grace the cover wearing gold but looked glowing and ethereal in the image.

The gorgeous girls posed for photographer Mario Sorrenti in a variety of set ups.

One image shows Elle whispering into her big sister's ear as if telling a much guarded secret.

Although she's the younger sibling, Elle towers over her sister and touches up her lipstick in a striking black and white shot.

In another monochrome image, the sisters get dressed up in pencil skirts and top their long blonde manes with boater hats as they strike a pose while hugging each other.

During the interview, Elle talks about her relationship with Dakota and how she feels now that the War of the Worlds star has gone off to college.

'She is a nice older sister. But it's not like we always get along,' Elle shared about their typical sibling conflicts but says that she missing Dakota now that they no longer live together.

'Now that she's going to college, it's different. I went into her room in California, and all her clothes were gone!

'Her closet was empty! I don't get to go in there and steal clothes anymore. It's really strange. It's sort of like she's off making a movie, but this time she's not coming back.'

Elle also opened up about her first love scene with a boy in Super 8.

'I didn't have to kiss him. But it was a boy-girl scene, and we had to like each other in the movie,' Elle shared. 'All the boys made fun of us because we had to like each other.'

Meanwhile, Dakota shared why she decided to enroll in college rather than just focusing 100% on her acting career.

'For the same reasons I wanted to go to a high school,' she said.

'You hear people say, 'Oh when I was in high school' or 'When I was in college.' That defines a lot of who people are, and I didn't want to miss out on that.'

But she says that she is not having the typical collegiate living situation and actually has her mother staying with her for a while as her roommate.

'She's teaching me how to wash clothes and such,' Dakota revealed. 'But I'm so excited to be on my own. In my house in L.A., we all feel that everything is everybody's and so doors are never really closed.

'My sister and I share a bathroom, and when you have a sibling, nothing is actually your own. I've never really had anything or any place that was just mine.'

Dakota added that she is trying to stay grounded despite becoming famous at such a young age.

However, the young starlet was recently embroiled in controversy after her perfume advertisement for Marc Jacobs was banned in the UK for 'sexualising a child.'

The actress looked younger in the magazine ad for 'Oh Lola!', where she was pictured sitting on the floor with the perfume bottle between her thighs.

The Advertising Standards Authority said that the 'length of her dress, her leg and position of the perfume bottle drew attention to her sexuality.'

They added that although Dakota is 17, she looked younger than that and the ad could be seen to sexualise a child.
