Elle Fanning Flaunts Sculpted Hourglass Silhouette in Striking Black Ensemble for Vanity Fair Shoot

by

Elle Fanning turned heads at the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscar Party with a striking black Givenchy dress. The outfit was a departure from her typically delicate and light-colored style.

Makeup artist Erin Ayanian Monroe shared photos on Instagram showing Dakota Fanning arrived wearing a uniquely designed, strapless dress. The dress featured a structured, modern shape with clean lines, and a fitted bodice that emphasized her waist and created a classic hourglass figure.

A large bow across the hips added fullness and visual interest to the dress’s fitted skirt. This created a striking yet polished look, combining sophisticated style with sharp tailoring.

She finished her look with classic black heels, letting her dress be the focus. Her hair was pulled back into a tidy low bun, drawing attention to her shoulders and the jewelry she wore. A striking Cartier diamond necklace with a red stone provided a pop of color against the dark material of her dress. Her makeup was subtle and natural-looking.

This comes at a particularly active time for Fanning, who recently starred in Joachim Trier’s film, Sentimental Value. The movie was highly acclaimed at the Cannes Film Festival, earning a lengthy standing ovation and several award nominations, including at the Golden Globes and Critics’ Choice Awards.

Elle Fanning will star alongside her sister, Dakota Fanning, in the upcoming movie The Nightingale. The film is based on Kristin Hannah’s novel about World War II, and it will be the first time the sisters have acted together as adults. They will play sisters in a story set in France during the Nazi occupation.

In addition to her acting career, Fanning also produces projects with her sister Dakota through their production company, Lewellen Pictures. They’ve been working on turning books into movies and TV shows, such as the series All Her Fault.

Her outfit at the Vanity Fair event highlighted how her fashion sense has developed, as well as her increasing success in movies. The black Givenchy dress represented a more sophisticated and polished style than she’s worn on the red carpet before.
