Elle Fanning practices her catwalk strut on the banks of the Seine as she joins the star-studded L'Oreal rehearsal at Paris Fashion Week

She's the younger sister of actress Dakoda Fanning.

And while Ellie Fanning has established her name in the acting world, she is now turning her hand to modelling, as she was spotted rehearsing on the catwalk ahead of her appearance in La Defile L'Oreal in Paris, France, on Sunday.

The Malificent star, 20, oozed androgynous chic in a monochrome ensemble as she strutted down the purpose-built runway in the middle of the River Seine during Paris Fashion Week.

Elle slipped into a crisp white shirt which she fully buttoned up to the nape of her neck, and featured an eye-catching black print on the breast pocket.

She tucked the oversized shirt into a pair of slinky black cropped wide-legged trousers, and practised her walk in skyscraper peep-toe heels.  

The actress smiled widely as she sashayed along the catwalk, and was greeted half-way through by Eva Longoria, who was filming the run-through on her mobile phone.

The beautiful blonde,styled her hair into dishevelled waves, and displayed dramatic black eye make-up, which stood out against her flawless, pale skin.

A day earlier, Elle took to Instagram to post a video of last year's La Defile L'Oreal, which means L'Oreal Parade in English, which shut down the Champs-Élysées.

She captioned it: 'ARE YOU READY? So proud to be walking Le Défilé L’Oréal Paris alongside some of my favorite lorealistas - September 30, Paris, open to all #lorealpfw @lorealmakeup @lorealhair.'

This year the cosmetics brand has moved the venue to a floating runway on the River Seine, meaning the models will literally be walking on water.

L'Oreal boasts it's the first time such a thing has been staged on the river, and it's designed to be visible to as many people as possible crowded on to the river banks and bridges.

'Le Défilé L’Oréal Paris is our opportunity to share, during Paris Fashion Week, an extraordinary experience with everyone,' said Pierre-Emmanuel Angeloglou, L’Oréal Paris Global Brand President in a statement.

'We are delighted to invite thousands of members of the public to a celebration of every element of our brand’s DNA - Paris, beauty, creativity, fashion and diversity - with the River Seine as our majestic backdrop.

'Our goal, as ever, is to lead the way in making fashion and beauty trends for all.'

Aside from models, a host of celebrities walked last year including iconic 79-year-old actress Jane Fonda and Brits Dame Helen Mirren, 72, and pop star Cheryl Cole, 32.
