Is disco-ball-core a thing yet? If not, Elle Fanning might make it so.
The Great star delivered yet another extravagant look at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival on Thursday night, when she put a futuristic spin on French Riviera style with a bold statement dress from Paco Rabanne’s fall/winter 2023 ready-to-wear runway.
The incredible metallic piece was completely covered in silver, feather-shaped fringe, which glimmered and swished to and fro as Fanning moved about. The dress’s bustier additionally featured ornate metalwork in the form of a circular choker holding up a metallic floral adornment, as well as matching metallic floral pasties.
More metallic pieces finished off the look, including strappy silver stilettos and a chainmail handbag.
Meanwhile, Fanning’s glam was comparatively minimal, with the actor simply wearing shimmery eye shadow, dusty pink blush, and a rose-colored lip. Her long platinum blonde hair was styled straight and worn down across her shoulders.
Fanning shared a snippet of the look with fans on Instagram. “Now THISSSSS is a partyyyy dressss @pacorabanne 🪩🪩🪩🪩🪩,” she wrote in the caption.
The actor, who has long worked with celeb stylist Samantha McMillen, has been enjoying a sartorially successful run in Cannes.
For the premier film festival’s opening night, Fanning walked the iconic red carpet in a custom-made Alexander McQueen ball gown. The magnificent dress included an intricately beaded bodice designed in the shape of orchids, which topped off a voluminous blush-pink skirt embroidered with even more matching silver beads. She completed the look with diamond jewelry, including a choker necklace, bracelet, and ring.

She also writes on social movements, connecting with activists leading the fight on workers' rights, climate justice, and more. Offline, she’s probably spending too much time on TikTok, rewatching Emma (the 2020 version, of course), or buying yet another corset.
