Nobody was happier to be on the 2026 Oscars red carpet than Elle Fanning. And who wouldn’t be in her shoes, as a first-time Academy Award nominee, in a Givenchy dress custom-designed by Sarah Burton, and with her boyfriend of three years, Gus Wenner, by her side?
The Sentimental Value star, who’s in the running for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the Lars Von Trier film, was joy personified when arriving at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 15. Dressed by her long-time stylist, Samantha McMillen, Fanning's Givenchy gown featured a strapless hourglass bodice and immaculate tulle ballgown that fanned out into a double train. Starting at her chest and trickling down to her skirt's hem, Fanning's dress was embellished with lavender-hued wisteria petals to create the effect of draping floral bouquets.
