Dakota Fanning Does Easy Elegance in a Tailored Black Velvet Dress

She brought her signature minimalism to the red carpet. A little black dress goes a long way, and no one knows that better than Dakota Fanning. The actor is partial to minimal looks, whether she’s running errands or on the red carpet. Stepping out for the festivities in Beverly Hills, Fanning wore an elegant black dress, elevating her outfit both literally and sartorially with a pair of satin platform heels.

Cloaked in black velvet, her ensemble took on a sophisticated feel that fit well within her personal style. Its inky color allowed the garment’s refined tailoring to truly shine, spotlighting a boatneck, slim cut, and a tapered hem that ended just above the actor’s knees.

A similar chiseled effect took hold in Fanning’s makeup, where a thick black cat-eye emphasized her blue eyes and sculpted brows framed her face. Even the actor’s blonde hair was worn in a sleek straightened style, making every part of her look put-together. A natural mauve lipstick pulled it all together.

Down below, she completed her outfit with a pair of matching black heels. The pointed footwear boasted a sizable platform, adding an edge to Fanning’s chic ensemble. Elsewhere, she accessorized sparingly with a small diamond-encrusted ring, flaunting a barely-there nude manicure and matching pedicure.

Simple and smart, the velvet dress is totally in character for the actor—at least according to her younger sister, Elle Fanning, who recently spoke to George V Magazine about her sibling’s style. “I think Dakota’s very classic. I’m classic too, but with a twist,” she said of their differing looks. “She’s a little bit more laid-back. There have been times when she’s looked at me and she’s like, ‘Okay, you’re going to wear that?’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah.’ And I think she loves me for that, but I kind of make a bolder choice, whereas she just wants to look beautiful and clean and chic. I get to be the crazy one. I think that younger-older sister dynamic is classic.”
