Elle Fanning showed once again why she’s considered one of Hollywood’s most stylish stars at a special screening of her latest film, Sentimental Value, on February 22. She joined costar Eva Victor for the event, which celebrated the critically acclaimed drama as it makes its final push during awards season.
Fanning wore a classic and sophisticated outfit that drew attention without being flashy, showing her mastery of understated elegance. Her appearance alongside Victor also highlighted the strong bond between the cast, who have spent the past year earning praise from critics worldwide.
In Sentimental Value, Fanning plays Rachel Kemp, a Hollywood actress who becomes entangled in the story of a fractured family. The character navigates complex emotions while starring in a movie directed by a man trying to reconcile with his estranged daughters.
Fanning told reporters that her role was challenging, saying it involves pushing the emotion out while discovering her own talent on screen. She also praised director Joachim Trier, explaining, we talk with Joachim during the rehearsals, and it creates a memory that stays with the actors through filming.
The film features a strong ensemble, including Stellan Skarsgård as director Gustav Borg and Renate Reinsve as his eldest daughter, Nora. The story explores how art can heal but also exploit the people involved, especially when dealing with inherited trauma.
Looking ahead, Fanning has a busy 2026. She will lead the Apple TV+ series Margo’s Got Money Troubles, acting alongside Nicole Kidman and Michelle Pfeiffer. She is also set to appear in the Hunger Games prequel, Sunrise on the Reaping, playing a young Effie Trinket.
Fans are also eagerly awaiting her collaboration with her sister Dakota Fanning in The Nightingale, based on Kristin Hannah’s novel about siblings during World War II, a project both sisters have described as a dream come true.
Off-screen, Fanning has been enjoying a productive and happy period in her life. She often attends events with her partner, Gus Wenner, and has maintained a reputation for professionalism and grace since her early years as a child star.
The Sentimental Value screening reminded audiences why Elle Fanning is one of Hollywood’s most reliable and admired talents. Her mix of elegance, skill, and charm continues to make her a standout on both the red carpet and the screen.
