March 2 marked a milestone for Elle Fanning as she made her debut at the 97th Academy Awards. Known for her impeccable red carpet style, the A Complete Unknown actress brought a fresh, youthful energy to the event, stepping out in a show-stopping ensemble that combined modern elegance with vintage charm.
Fanning opted for a bold choice, steering clear of the classic black gown and instead donning an all-white lace dress from Givenchy’s 2025 collection. Designed by Sarah Burton, the ivory gown featured a striking black bow at the waist and a sharp sweetheart neckline, showcasing Burton’s vision as the brand’s new creative director. The dress was a daring yet sophisticated pick, proving Fanning’s knack for making a statement.
But it wasn’t just the dress that turned heads. Fanning’s jewelry stole the spotlight, adding a touch of timeless glamour to her look. She accessorized with vintage Cartier pieces, including a pavé diamond watch, a sparkling ring, and a breathtaking draped choker necklace from 1958. Each piece, adorned with diamonds, brought a retro sparkle that perfectly complemented her modern gown. The combination highlighted Fanning’s love for vintage-inspired elegance, a style she has mastered over the years.
White, often considered a challenging color to wear due to its bridal connotations and susceptibility to stains, emerged as a surprising trend on this year’s Oscars red carpet. Fanning joined other Hollywood stars like Jacki Weaver and Lupita Nyong’o, who also embraced the color. Nyong’o’s pearl-adorned Chanel gown, in particular, became a hot topic of conversation, further cementing white as the standout hue of the evening.
Fanning’s debut at the Oscars was a masterclass in balancing modern fashion with vintage flair, proving once again why she’s a red carpet favorite. Her Givenchy gown and Cartier jewels not only showcased her impeccable taste but also celebrated the timeless appeal of classic Hollywood glamour.
