Elle Fanning’s Fendi lace dress for the Los Angeles premiere of “Sentimental Value” failed to hit the spot and measure up to the high fashion standards she has set for herself before. On Wednesday night, the actor hit up the promotional event for her new movie in the gorgeous lace number, but failed to deliver, with the look washing her out. While the outfit in itself screamed subtle sophistication, charm, and chic in the best possible way, the shade unfortunately resulted in a tragic misfire.
Elle Fanning’s Fendi dress for ‘Sentimental Value’ premiere wasn’t the right color
A great deal of consideration and planning could go into putting together an outfit for a glamorous night out, but a simple misstep or the wrong color can make it fall flat in execution. That seemed to be the case with Elle Fanning’s Fendi lace dress for the “Sentimental Value” premiere on Wednesday night. A striking concept and an elegant idea in theory — just not the right shade. Despite having potential, the color of the look was a little off, ending in a fashion faux pas that nobody expected.
Fanning’s floor-length, sleeveless number from the luxury fashion house comprised a V-shaped neckline in a triple-layer format and intricate lace straps. Moreover, it appeared cinched around the waist, adding some structure to its rather flowy appearance. However, it was the delicate lace patterns — some geometrical, while others irregular — that stole the spotlight. The layout appeared to be spread throughout the attire, with the V-shaped detailing right at the waistline, and the artfully chaotic ones taking over the skirt, layer by layer.
Although the styling fail didn’t go unnoticed, certain aspects of Fanning’s makeup did quite a good job at covering up the misstep. Photos showed her pairing the neutral-colored ensemble with a bright red lipstick, which seemed to be the star of the show, adding a touch of vibrance to her muted appearance. Finally, the decision to add a diamond-encrusted neckpiece was the cherry on top.
