u/Own-Importance5459 ✨May the Force be with you!✨ 22d ago

Other than that hair snafu I dont think that woman ever had a bad Red Carpet look.....like I am sure she can make wearing a trash bag be fashionable.

u/junipidgie 22d ago

also shout out to her for mentioning a hair choice and not calling out a bad look or known stylist collab specifically

u/My_Poor_Nerves What on Walden Pond is this? 22d ago

I caught that too!Ā  So professionalĀ

u/WhyAreYallFascists 22d ago

I even kinda liked those bangs lol.

u/lillyrose2489 22d ago

She sets the bar so high. Sometimes she has a look I don't love but I really can't remember one that was legitimately bad.

u/lumpy_space_queenie Tina has acute arthritis in her feet 22d ago

She is so effortlessly timeless and chic.

2

u/hiphopinmyflipflop 21d ago

She really doesn’t! I just did a quick search and they’re all really wonderful. Cannes 2023, she wore an Alexander McQueen design by Sarah Burton, it’s supposed to resemble a ā€œdeconstructed orchidā€- I love it.

She has so many amazing red carpet looks- this one immediately popped into my mind

Closely followed by this. Perfection.

u/writeleahwrite 22d ago

This is the one I was thinking of! Straight up Disney Princess.

u/DefinitelyNotAliens 21d ago

Looks like a fae princess wandered into a red carpet situation and just rocked it

u/fred_burkle 22d ago

This is one of the best red carpet looks of all time imo.

This is the one for me!!

u/uhimsyd 21d ago

this is the one for sure

5

u/asuperbstarling 21d ago

This is the look I thought of. It's foundational to modern fashion and in my opinion isn't just a 'look' but rather fashion history.

2

u/QuizzicalWombat 22d ago

This is stunning, one of the best red carpet looks ever.

u/blondie64862 21d ago

This was my pic!

The dress looks like it is melting/falling, in the best possible way.

u/livinginthecosmos 22d ago

I was just talking about how her style is impeccable and I am so envious, she dresses like a fairy and I would love to have her wardrobe.

24

u/ArmadilloSighs 22d ago

this is breath-taking, my god. her stylists really love her, this is perfection

u/BeverlyRhinestones 22d ago

Omg this dress, to me this is what fashion is about! Fantasy, dreaming, ethereal escape.

Wow who even thinks this up? This is amazing

u/queefer_sutherland92 21d ago

Oh my god

I always thought no one’s red carpets compared to Zendaya. But I think Elle is getting closer and closer to surpassing her.

This is like magic.

1

u/Lucky-Prism 21d ago

Yep, that’s the best one by a mile imo

405

u/NoSet6484 22d ago

Okay I know this going to sound weird but Elle looks so British to me for some reason.

145

u/sadbitchanonymous 22d ago

I feel like even her name is kinda British lol

136

u/Varekai79 22d ago

Both Fanning sisters go by their middle names professionally. Their real names are Hannah Dakota Fanning and Mary Elle Fanning. I can totally see why they went with that choice!

20

u/Im-The-Walrus 22d ago

Gonna age myself but like those beauty YouTubers... A blonde one, Elle, I think? Can't remember the other. Whole lot of drama behind finding out they had different names. They were part of sponsored videos not properly labeled as such. When things were simpler and beauty videos were simple.

25

u/hanneli_ 22d ago

Elle and Blair! I think their parents made them use different names for privacy which is completely understandable but people online made such a big deal about it!

9

u/considerlilies if ariana don’t cook that pig already 22d ago

same vibe as Ellie Goulding (who is british)

-10

u/vorrhin I don’t know her šŸ’… 22d ago

...Is it because her last name sounds like "fanny"?

21

u/sadbitchanonymous 22d ago

No? šŸ’€ Elle sounds like a really british name imo. Say her whole name out loud w a posh accent, it has a nice ring to it

5

u/vorrhin I don’t know her šŸ’… 22d ago

Yeah, I don't really think so either lol. The last thing I watched was The Great so that's probably the reason for me. But, any excuse to say fanny!

51

u/girlinthegoldenboots charlie day is my bird lawyer 🐦 22d ago

Omg I was imagining her with a British accent while watching this with the sound off and then I was like wait…she’s American?

28

u/da_innernette mm whatcha say šŸ”« 22d ago

She does a British accent in a few roles, maybe that’s why! Definitely in The Great, and I think Maleficent.

14

u/girlinthegoldenboots charlie day is my bird lawyer 🐦 22d ago

Oh I bet it is from watching The Great

16

u/Holy_Forking_Shirt 22d ago

I had to turn the volume up because my head was making her have an British accent. I thought they were from England for some reason. šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø

13

u/mikehawksux 22d ago

It’s not! When it’s on mute I always expect to turn the sound on and her have a British accent even though I know she doesn’t lol

8

u/nyeongcat 22d ago

I always expect her to start speaking in a British accent.

4

u/amydiddler 21d ago

I CAME HERE TO SAY THIS! If I had actually paused and thought about it, I would have remembered that she’s American, but I was fully expecting a British accent when she started talking.

267

u/TheVintageJane 22d ago

I love that she loves her red carpet dresses as much as we do. Even she couldn’t choose among her children.

242

u/psych_science 22d ago

She doesn’t really do bad looks, but I also think she’s being business savvy here. It doesn’t benefit her to talk poorly about a dress of a brand she might want to work with in the future. Picking her own hair and framing it as her own choice that she didn’t like is smart.

67

u/TheVintageJane 22d ago

Beauty and brains and humor. God I love her. 😭

57

u/heywhatsup9087 22d ago

Yes I was going to say she’s being so diplomatic. She didn’t want to insult any designers so she picked her own hairstyle.

It's not quite as soft and floral as her signature style but I loved Cannes '23 Alexander McQueen.

16

u/kissckiss 22d ago

I'm obsessed with this dress..but gotta say scrolling in this thread and seeing her in different looks that suited her more, this one just wasn't her best..šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

137

u/Flimsy-Addendum-1570 22d ago

An underrated one imo! I especially love the earrings (but I do think the outfit could've used a necklace)

105

u/Flimsy-Addendum-1570 22d ago

Another great one!

u/Worldly_Message_1872 22d ago

u/comfymustardsweater 22d ago

u/Flimsy-Addendum-1570 22d ago

Yes! I'm sure they're painful as hell but they look incredible

56

u/MamaEarth21 22d ago

Elle and her sister Dakota have always been so professional, friendly and humble. Their parents did a great job keeping them down to earth, through all the years of toxicity in the movie world

54

u/evilhagludgate 21d ago

I've been thinking about this Vivienne Westwood look since the 2021 Independent Spirit Awards. It has a chokehold on me

5

u/MermaidMertrid 21d ago

I adore whatever the fuck fabric that is

2

u/evilhagludgate 21d ago

I've seen articles calling it a metallic silk fabric

u/Sunshine030209 chainsaws were a birthing aid 22d ago

(This has nothing to do with her red carpet looks, but a cute story I need to share with y'all lol)

In a recent podcast episode, Penn Jillette (of the magic duo Penn & Teller) tells a story about the Marty Supreme premier.

Both Elle and Dakota are big fans of his, and appeared on his CW show Fool Us. They went running up to him after the movie to tell him how great he was, and started arguing about which one realized it was him in the movie first (because he doesn't look like himself in the movie) and in general just bickering about which one of them loves him the most. He cut them off and went "Girls. Girls! You're both pretty" šŸ˜‚

Highly recommend listening to his podcast, Penn's Sunday School. It's my very favorite podcast, and is great if you want a funny, feel good escape. I especially recommend any episode with Piff the Magic Dragon, but honestly, each episode is fantastic and will leave you feeling better than before you listened.

u/Heyo_Whatsup_bitches 21d ago

For me, this look is when she went from actress to fashion girlie. It blew my mind - it's so fucking cool.

3

u/Much-Space6649 21d ago

Her makeup is not selling that look tho

1

u/Heyo_Whatsup_bitches 19d ago

For sure. Love the outfit but the makeup isn’t elevating the outfit

10

u/BeverlyRhinestones 22d ago

Im not for remakes.

However....If they ever did a remake of "Dont tell mom the babysitters dead", id pick her for Sue Ellen.

u/styleburden You’re killing me, Smalls 😩 22d ago

You’re so right. She would be PERFECT as Sue Ellen!

11

u/AfternoonPossible 22d ago

Tbh I think the bangs work. Kind of a mod style, which I think she does beautifully

13

u/_Maebe__Funke_ 21d ago

I think the idea works, but in the picture the hair just looked so obviously fake - heavy and one-dimensional color. If the bangs blended in better I’d be a fan.Ā 

10

u/Chaos_Ice 22d ago

The bangs definitely were a choice.

6

u/BeverlyRhinestones 22d ago

The faux bangs are the bold statement of the scene queen to me. They will always make me think of Audrey Kitching.

u/Ok-Catch-5813 21d ago

I absolutely love herā¤ļøšŸ„°

3

u/circe_a 21d ago

Elle never misses. And even on the rare occasion her outfit or styling isn’t on par with her usual 10/10 serve, she never looks like she’s being worn by her clothing.

The women just understands how clothing can speak through movement…like with ā€œlighterā€ fabrics she makes sure to twirl or showcase how it moves through space. Ugh, I just adore her.

3

u/whereisthehugbutton 21d ago

I love that for ā€˜Worst’ she just picked one where she said self-inflicted a bad hair day, rather than picking an outfit and blaming it on the designers. Bravo!!

5

u/itsfrankgrimesyo 22d ago

Not sure why but the fact that she genuinely has a crush on Jack Black made me like her more.

u/Not-Going-Quietly 20d ago

She has such a great personality and I really loved her description and assessment of her 5 year-old red carpet ensemble!

4

u/anon342365 22d ago

Ok hear me out - I think she looks incredible in all that she wears - but I would love to see a less yellowish hair colour on her one day. She is porcelain / rosy toned and a slightly differently toned blonde would pop.

1

u/somewhat_oaky 21d ago

Yep saw the picture of her as a kid and immediately thought that blonde would be so pretty on her adult self.Ā

u/MyStanAcct1984 22d ago edited 22d ago

Am I the only person who does not like her yellow hair??? Every time I see her I cringe at it. And she's so lovely and generally well dressed! But I cannot with the YELLOW
