She may be known for vintage-inspired dresses and princess-y pastels, but Elle Fanning has a ready-to-wear-everything attitude. "I'll try anything if it doesn't wear me," the actress tells me over the phone from London, where she's just touched down for press surrounding the latest installment in the Predator sci-fi franchise. "I always try to be pretty experimental. I don't like to get too stuck in my ways when it comes to fashion."
Fanning and her longtime stylist, Samantha McMillen, live up to that ideal even when they're pulling looks from a single designer rack. Coach has been Fanning's go-to designer for bags and head-to-toe looks of late, but none look exactly the same. (She's been a brand ambassador since 2024.) She attended the Cannes Film Festival in a wispy teal chiffon dress and a coordinating Tabby bag this summer; by the time Coach's Spring 2026 fashion show rolled around in September, she'd sample a denim military jacket and extra-long jeans. Some celebrities find a single mood and run with it, but not her.
