New Moon star Dakota Fanning celebrated her 16th birthday with a low-key party in Los Angeles on February 20 at Beverly Hills, Villa Blanca.

Her actually birthday is not until February 23, but her birthday party was filled with 40 guests made up of friends and family.

Fanning later enjoyed a 3-tier birthday cake, but when asked about driving soon she stated, “‘I don’t even have [a] permit.”
