Elle Fanning Channels Cinderella in Sky-Blue Gucci at 2025 LACMA Art + Film Gala
Elle Fanning captivated the 2025 LACMA Art + Film Gala with a look that seemed straight out of a fairy tale. The actress, known for her graceful and ethereal red-carpet presence, attended the gala under the glow of Chris Burden’s iconic Urban Light installation in Los Angeles.
The 14th annual event, co-chaired by Leonardo DiCaprio and Eva Chow, brought together the biggest names in fashion, but Fanning stood out in a dreamy, sky-blue lace gown by Demna for Gucci.
The dress featured sheer long sleeves and a floor-length hemline, with delicate floral patterns that shimmered in the museum lights. She paired the gown with a matching oversized baby blue faux fur coat that added volume and luxury to her look.

Her beauty was soft and romantic, with a classic updo that highlighted a diamond Cartier necklace, and makeup that focused on a blush-forward, glowing finish.
This appearance comes during a busy period for Fanning. She recently starred in Sentimental Value, an independent film directed by Joachim Trier, which drew attention during the 2025 awards season. She also starred in the sci-fi thriller Predator: Badlands, directed by Dan Trachtenberg, playing Thia alongside Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi.
Fanning appeared at the 2026 Berlin International Film Festival for Rosebush Pruning, a satirical tragicomedy directed by Karim Aïnouz. She stars as Martha, navigating a wealthy family’s dark secrets, with co-stars Callum Turner, Riley Keough, and Pamela Anderson.
Fans of The Hunger Games franchise also have reason to be excited. Fanning has been cast as a younger Effie Trinket in the upcoming prequel, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, set for release in late 2026. She joins Kieran Culkin as a young Caesar Flickerman in a story set decades before the original trilogy.
Beyond acting, Fanning continues her work in television as an executive producer, including the miniseries Margo’s Got Money Troubles. Her ability to move seamlessly between high-fashion events, blockbuster films, and prestige TV underscores her versatility and growing influence in Hollywood.
Elle’s sky-blue Gucci gown was a showstopper at LACMA, perfectly blending classic glamour with a modern edge. What do you think of her icy Cinderella look? Which of her 2026 projects are you most excited to see? Share your thoughts in the comments.
