Dakota Fanning’s Marc Jacobs Ad Banned

A Marc Jacobs advert has been banned for appearing to "sexualize a child."

The British Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has slammed the "sexually provocative" magazine commercial, which features 17-year-old actress Dakota Fanning sitting on the floor wearing a pale-colored thigh-length dress with an Oh Lola perfume bottle between her thighs."We noted that the model was holding up the perfume bottle which rested in her lap between her legs and we considered that its position was sexually provocative. We understood the model was 17 years old but we considered she looked under the age of 16. We considered that the length of her dress, her leg and position of the perfume bottle drew attention to her sexuality. Because of that, along with her appearance, we considered the ad could be seen to sexualize a child," said  the ASA in a statement.
