Dress recycling is getting more popular! The latest celeb to send the message that it’s cool to wear the same dress twice is actress Dakota Fanning, who got a break from the New Moon set (she’s playing Jane in the Twilight sequel) to attend her junior prom.

Dakota, who could buy any dress she wanted for prom, ended up choosing this pink taffeta silk, bubble-hemmed dress, which she wore at the world premiere of Coraline in February. Check out the pre-prom photo we spotted!

Finally, a former child star whose personal pictures leaked on the Internet send a positive message, rather than a scandalous one. Dakota reminds us that if a dress looks awesome on you, why only be photographed in it once? And it’s refreshing to see she even got to experience prom — so many young celebrities miss out on that.

Don’t forget, when you’re done wearing your dress, you can always give it a new life to a girl in need, through DonateMyDress.org. Visit the site to look up the nearest dress drop-off location or places where you can mail your dress to a prom-goer who can’t afford one.

Are you thinking of wearing an already-worn dress to prom?
