Elle Fanning and Dakota Fanning at W Magazine’s Annual Best Performances Party, Chateau Marmont, Los Angeles, January 10, 2026. The sisters stand close, both in pale light, almost blending into the wall of oversized portraits behind them. Elle in a black Gucci Pre-Fall 2026 dress–short, halter neck, textured, with a flared skirt. Black tights, Larroude Linda Pumps, and a Gucci Custom Bag in hand. Red lipstick, hair down, parted in the middle. She looks like she’s ready for a night out, but not fussing over it.

Dakota in a Rodarte Cream Silk Charmeuse Bias Dress with Lace Inlays–long, soft, and a little rumpled, like she just rolled out of bed and decided to show up anyway. Manolo Blahnik Callasli Sandals peek out from under the hem. No necklace, just a few beaded bracelets, hair loose, makeup minimal. She looks comfortable, almost dreamy, like she’s wandered into the party by accident.
