At SiriusXM Studios in New York, April 2026, Elle Fanning wore Alberta Ferretti Fall 2026 with red Miu Miu Patent Leather Slingbacks with Buckles – and that color contrast is the whole point.
The first thing to notice is the surface of the dress. It isn’t flat pink. It shifts.
Elle Fanning attended SiriusXM’s Front Row With the Cast of Margo’s Got Money Troubles at SiriusXM Studios in New York on April 6, 2026 wearing Alberta Ferretti Fall 2026, and the fabric is doing most of the visual work. The dress falls in a soft, belted shape with a draped cowl neckline, long sleeves, and a gently flared skirt that hits below the knee. Up close, the pink satin has a tonal floral pattern woven through it, which keeps the color from turning sugary.
Notice how the neckline folds. It sits loose but not sloppy, then the waist pulls everything back together before the skirt drops into that easy A-line. There’s a little old-hollywood-in-daylight thing happening here, though the cut stays simple enough that it doesn’t feel costume-y. And the sheen matters: this kind of satin can turn flimsy fast, but here it still holds shape through the bodice and sleeve.
Then the sharp turn – the shoes. The Miu Miu Patent Leather Slingbacks with Buckles come in a deep red patent finish with pointed toes and multiple straps, and honestly, they save this from getting too precious. I might be wrong, but a pink or nude shoe would’ve made the whole look drift. The Cartier Les Berlingots De Cartier Ring and Cartier Panthere De Cartier Ring stay discreet from this distance, which was probably wise.
If you spend time with celebrity photos from this spring, you’re seeing more soft dresses interrupted by tougher or glossier accessories. Elle Fanning’s always had a way of making romantic pieces feel light rather than heavy-handed, and that holds here too.
The shoes were the right interruption.
