Elle Fanning Looks Stunning in a White Marilyn Monroe Dress

Last night, the 2025 Gotham Awards hosted an unforgettable gathering of Hollywoods elite in New York City. Stars such as Jennifer Lawrence, Kristen Stewart, Jacob Elordi, and Julia Roberts were among the attendees, celebrating the most influential films and remarkable talents of the year. Even Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were spotted joining the festivities.

Elle Fanning, whose co-stars Stellan Skarsgrd and Inga Ilbsdotter Lilleaas from Sentimental Value were nominated for Outstanding Supporting Performance, appeared alongside Kristen Stewart to present the Outstanding Lead Performance award. For the occasion, Fanning chose a Ralph Lauren gown that seamlessly combined timeless elegance with a subtle homage to Hollywood history. The floor-length, sheer white pleated dress evoked the iconic Marilyn Monroe moment from The Seven Year Itch in 1955.

Fanning, styled by Samantha McMillen, completed her look with a daring open-back design, accented by bold Cartier jewelry, including layered diamond bracelets and an emerald necklace that highlighted her eye color. Hair stylist Jenda Alcorn gave her a sleek, straight blowout, while makeup artist Erin Ayanian Monroe emphasized her natural glow with soft rosy tones.

Sharing a fun birthday coincidence, Fanning and Stewart revealed they both celebrate on April 9th while announcing the award winner. Stewart noted, Her big sister is my best friend, prompting Fanning to quip, and Im finally cool enough to hang out with you, before congratulating Sop Drs for his work on My Fathers Shadow.
