Elle Fanning walked the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival [1] screening of "Top Gun: Maverick" Wednesday in a custom Armani Privé ball gown composed of blush-pink tulle and crystals. The dress featured a strapless, figure-hugging bodice and a subtle sweetheart neckline embellished with crystal beadwork. The airy, floor-length skirt was fit for a queen, which makes sense considering Fanning's current role as Catherine the Great [2] on Hulu's hit series about the royal. Fanning styled the look with a layered diamond bracelet, a matching necklace, a gemstone ring, and a bow that echoed a hair-accessory trend [3] that's emerged on recent red carpets [4].
After the carpet, Fanning slipped away for a private photo shoot on the balcony at the Hotel Martinez in Cannes. The hotel's ornate, sky-blue railing, embellished with gold accents, beautifully complemented Fanning's regal ensemble. The result? A set of picturesque photos that look straight from the royal vault.
Just a few months before making the scene in the south of France, Fanning walked the SAG Awards red carpet [5] in a Gucci suit [6] composed of a sheer, champagne blouse with a matching vest and bowtie, and at the InStyle Awards [7] in November, she wore a sculptural crop top that resembled one massive link in a chain. Needless to say, Fanning's red carpet style knows no bounds.
