Elle Fanning Channels 1960s Glamour in Dreamy Valentino at NBR Awards Gala • CelebMafia

Fresh from her Golden Globes appearance, Elle Fanning stunned in a vintage-inspired Valentino creation at the 2025 National Board Review Gala, perfectly embodying her role in “A Complete Unknown.”

Hollywood’s enchanting ingenue Elle Fanning continues to master the art of red carpet dressing, this time transforming the National Board of Review Gala into her personal runway. Following her memorable Golden Globes appearance, Fanning delivered another masterclass in vintage-inspired elegance on January 7th.

The actress, currently garnering attention for her portrayal of Sylvie Russo in the 1960s-set “A Complete Unknown,” chose a Valentino Pre-Fall 2025 gown that seemed destined for her ethereal presence. The tiered chiffon creation, awash in a delicate palette of lilac, pink, and yellow, floated around her with an almost cinematic quality. A sophisticated faux fur-trimmed stole added that crucial touch of Old Hollywood drama.

Fanning’s accessories spoke volumes, with carefully curated Cartier pieces – including the iconic Panthère ring and Leitmotiv bracelet – complementing rather than competing with the gown’s statement-making presence. Her beauty look remained true to the retro theme while maintaining modern freshness, proving once again why she’s fashion’s favorite chameleon.

This thoughtfully curated ensemble not only pays homage to her current role but reinforces Fanning’s status as a true style virtuoso who understands the power of storytelling through fashion.
