Elle Fanning pulled up to the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party in a Givenchy look that switched gears from her Oscars moment earlier that night. The ankle-length caped dress, crafted from black Chantilly lace with sequins woven in, came with a red grosgrain belt cutting the waist and red patent leather pumps that stood out sharp. It’s a clean pivot from the white lace and silk tulle she wore at the Dolby Theatre, showing she’s not locked into one lane. Samantha McMillen styled her with a tight updo and barely-there jewels, keeping the focus on the dress’s quiet edge.
The Wallis Annenberg Center was buzzing with the after-party crowd—Timothée Chalamet, Monica Barbaro, and the “A Complete Unknown” cast shedding their ceremony fits. Fanning moved through it, the black lace cape trailing light, the red accents slicing through the room’s blur of metallics and cutouts.
