Elle Fanning joined her fellow cast members for the premiere of “Sentimental Value” during the Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday. The actress also joined her co-stars and director for the film’s photo call on Thursday. Fanning costars in the Joachim Trier-directed film alongside Renate Reinsve and Stellan Skarsgård.

For the red carpet premiere of “Sentimental Value,” Fanning opted for a strapless custom design courtesy of Armani Privé. The gown featured a plunging sweetheart neckline with a formfitting silhouette and allover ornate sequin detailing.

The shimmering elements of Fanning’s gown cascaded down the design of her dress. A springtime element was added to the look with embroidered soft pink flowers adorning the bodice, skirt and flowing train of the dress. The pink tones set against the muted silver dress added color contrast.

Fanning’s blond hair was styled with a middle part and worn straight and down courtesy of stylist Jenda Alcorn. Her makeup featured bold brows and a soft lip by artist Erin Ayanian Monroe. Fanning’s look was curated by stylist Samantha McMillen, who also works with Jodie Foster, Ana de Armas and Fanning’s sister Dakota.

The Thursday following the “Sentimental Value” Cannes premiere, Fanning joined her costars for their photo call. For the occasion, Fanning opted for a more casual, ’60s-inspired look with contemporary references. The actress wore a pair of wide-leg, high-waisted blue jeans with a Gucci belt at the waist.

She also wore a loose white T-shirt with the phrase “Joachim Trier Summer” embossed on the fabric in black. The shirt, created by 11-year-old streetwear designer Dylan’s T-shirt Club, features a two-pronged reference: one to the “Sentimental Value” director Trier, and the other to Charli XCX’s viral “Brat Summer” aesthetic from summer 2024. Fanning completed the look with a blue scarf featuring pastel florals wrapped around her head.

The 2025 Cannes Film Festival concludes on Saturday. Films premiering at this year’s festival include Wes Anderson’s “The Phoenician Scheme,” Julia Ducournau’s “Alpha” and Lynne Ramsay’s “Die, My Love.” Berry and Jeremy Strong, among others, serve on the 2025 jury alongside jury president Juliette Binoche.
