As the oldest of four sisters, I have a theory: Big sisters are the family's in-house style influencers. Take the Fannings, for instance. Being the oldest, Dakota Fanning paved the way for fellow fashion girl Elle Fanning on Hollywood's street style scene. If she's anything like me, Dakota texted Elle before dinner on January 21 saying to wear 2026's new It bags.
L.A.'s Chateau Marmont welcomed the Fannings back following the 2026 Golden Globes after-party last week. This time, they traded red carpet gowns for all-black attire, beginning with Dakota in The Row's $2,950 Polli Coat. The pea coat's matte, wool-blend finish let her Balenciaga Le City First Bag shine. It started out as a slouchy, cult-collected silhouette 25 years ago, before it relaunched under former creative director Demna in 2024. The $2,300 top-handle tote comes in neon green, lavender, white, and black; the Coraline actor chose to go moody and neutral.
