The actress dazzled at the 97th Academy Awards in a Givenchy dress reminiscent of the one Grace Kelly wore at her last gala before becoming Princess of Monaco.
Elle Fanning is always a safe bet on international red carpets. If at the last Golden Globes she dazzled in a vintage Haute Couture dress created by Pierre Balmain in 1953 , now, at the 2025 Oscars , the actress has once again paid tribute to 1950s fashion with a choice that evokes the real spirit and style with which Grace Kelly attended the same gala in 1956 . In addition, it is a very special night for Fanning, since this is her first time attending the great film event at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles , which she attended with her co-stars Timothée Chalamet and Monica Barbaro in the great nominee for Best Film, A Complete Stranger .
For such a distinguished occasion, Fanning has once again relied on her go-to stylist, Samantha McMillen . Together they have opted to wear what is already Sarah Burton ‘s first design for Givenchy , who will present her debut collection for the French house at the upcoming Paris Fashion Week. The piece, made of French lace and white silk tulle, features a delicate heart-shaped neckline , a cinched waist with a black bow and a long skirt . However, the most special detail is its spectacular Watteau back , an element that evokes the ethereal romanticism of the great divas of classic cinema . In addition, to reinforce this aesthetic, the actress added a spectacular vintage diamond choker signed by Cartier .
In this way, Fanning’s look picks up the baton from the dress that Grace Kelly wore to the same Oscars gala, but in 1956. A night that marked her farewell to Hollywood before flying to Monaco to marry Prince Rainier III and make history by becoming a princess. In addition, at that ceremony, the star was presenting one of the biggest awards of the night, just a year after winning her first golden statuette for her role in The Angst of Living . So, she opted for a white chiffon dress with a flared skirt worthy of a fairy tale , which she accompanied with a simple updo, short gloves and a light shawl over her shoulders. A combination that exuded sophistication and grace, then and now.
However, this is not the first time that the actress has paid tribute to the eternal princess of Monaco . Her link to the glamour of the south of France and the golden age of cinema was reflected in the Grain de Café campaign that Cartier launched in 2023 and in which Fanning, as the firm’s global ambassador, embodied the timeless elegance that has always defined Grace Kelly. Now, with her choice for the 2025 Oscars , the actress not only reaffirms her status as one of the most elegant figures of her generation , but also consolidates her title as one of the best dressed on a night marked by minimalism and neutral colors .
