Dakota Fanning has thus far built a whole career out of appearing unsettlingly wise for her age on screen. Now, she aims to befuddle in a whole new way.

We'll admit that when we clicked on the HuffPo headline "Dakota Fanning Dons Jumpsuit For Letterman (PHOTO)," we were expecting some wacky Stupid Human Tricks that might involve harnesses and velcro walls. However, we'd forgotten that it's Dakota Fanning 2.0 that we're dealing with now, and that the actress is vamping it up in hopes of landing a role in the Twilight sequel. Behold, then, Fanning rocking this navy jumper to tape a Late Show with David Letterman appearance that will air on Friday. Abigail Breslin, your move!
