These days, it's not uncommon to find teen starlets dressing much older than their age in an effort to glam it up.
Not so Disney pop princess Bella Thorne.
At a Paul Frank 2013 Swim Collection launch party in Hollywood on Monday, 15-year-old Bella looked adorable - and age appropriate - in whimsical gilded accessories such as a dog charm necklace and a cascade of stars streaming down her hair.
Pretty in pink: The actress looked demure in a candy-coloured outfit at the event
She also wore what appears to be her favourite shade of pink, a confection-worthy pop of bright hot pink that she seems to favour these days.
The teen was recently seen in the same shade of pink on an outing with boyfriend Tristan Klier at a Los Angeles pottery painting studio called Color Me Mine.
The Shake It Up! TV actress wore an unstructured white blazer and black shorts with the pink top to the fashion industry event.

Proving that girls just wanna have, Bella palled around with fellow teen actresses Coco Jones, Peyton List and Jaylen Barron at the party, which took place at the W Hotel in Hollywood.
While Coco looked a tad more mature in a red mini dress, Jaylen seemed to have gotten Bella's style memo: she wore a similar unstructured white blazer, loose shorts and high heel shoes.
Peyton, a 15-year-old actress on Disney's TV show Jessie, also embraced her age in a quirky comic book-inspired frock emblazoned with colorful graphics.

The Cuban-American starlet is a home-schooled high school student who has spoken candidly about her struggles with dyslexia, and her efforts to stay ahead of the reading disorder.
'I want other kids to know that you can do whatever you set out to do,' she said in an interview with Dream Magazine.
'Keep reading. It becomes easier the more you do it and you don’t have to be afraid because you are not alone.'
Bella is a spokesperson for The Dyslexia Foundation.
