At the 2024 Governors Awards, Elle Fanning went full sheer in a see-through Valentino gown with jewels, crystal embellishments, and a fur cape. For the annual event that the Academy calls a “kickoff” to the Oscars season, Fanning channeled an ice queen persona in the floor-length mint green dress just in time for the holiday season. She paired the look with her classic blonde hair that seemingly suited the occasion and accessorized with heavy rings. The 15th Governors Award happened on November 17 at the Ray Dolby Ballroom at Ovation Hollywood in Los Angeles.
Elle Fanning exudes glamor in see-through Valentino gown
Elle Fanning’s see-through Valentino gown for the 2024 Governors Awards was a sensational contribution to the ongoing sheer fashion trend. Like many actors, she dived into the nearly nude style in a glamorous gown from the luxury fashion house’s Spring/Summer 2025 Ready-to-Wear collection. The plunging dress made its debut on the runway before Fanning rocked it at the red carpet event. She appeared straight out of a family tale in the heavily embellished, royal-looking ensemble that comprised a more dramatic addition — a cape.
The actor’s gown had rows of crystals stemming out of the torso of the outfit. The full-sleeved dress had fur linings on the wristband part and the bottom as it almost touched the floor. In addition, Fanning completed the ensemble by adding the adorned cape, which included a fur lining and was tied in the front.
Cosmopolitan reported that she also accessorized the look with two diamond rings and Cartier’s unique Mandragore 79.38 carats necklace. The 26-year-old kept her makeup modest to accentuate the allure of her outfit with only lush lips and her side-parted shoulder-length blonde hair.
Celebrity stylist Samantha McMillen masterminded Elle Fanning’s look and later shared photos of the actor’s look on her Instagram. In the caption, McMillen provided details regarding Fanning’s attire and also credited stylists who helped her create the exquisite appearance including hair and makeup.
