Back to bare! Makeup-free Elle Fanning touches down at LAX after stepping out in dramatic eyeshadow for 2013 Met Ball

She stunned in dramatic eye makeup at Monday evening's Met Ball.
But Elle Fanning preferred to go bare-faced as she arrived in Los Angeles on Tuesday afternoon.
The 15-year-old actress was returning from a weekend in New York City, where she attended the star-studded gala with older sister Dakota, 19.

Despite forgoing cosmetics, Elle still traveled in style.
The Super 8 star slipped into a relaxed grey sweatshirt, loose leather pants cropped at the ankles and a pair of metallic platform trainers.
She added a neon yellow knit hat and a white structured shoulder bag to the ensemble as she strolled through the terminal with a floral-printed tote in hand.

Just one evening earlier, Elle appeared at the Met Ball in a tie-dye Rodarte gown and graphic eyeshadow.
Sister Dakota and Rodarte designers Laura and Kate Mulleavy accompanied the Ginger And Rosa actress down the red carpet.
The Hollywood newcomer has received praise for her daring sartorial choices and is considered something of a muse to a range of key players in the fashion industry.

But for now, Elle seems keen to focus on her acting career.
She has been filming futuristic sci-fi flick Young Ones since February.
The film, written and directed by Gwyneth Paltrow's younger brother Jake, also features actors Michael Shannon and Nicholas Hoult.
In addition, Elle will play Princess Aurora in 2014's Maleficent, a dramatic re-telling of Sleeping Beauty from the perspective of the sinister villain, opposite Angelina Jolie.
