Elle Fanning Wore Loewe To The 2025 SAG Awards

For those who were expecting Elle Fanning to deliver either a vintage masterpiece or another ethereal, neutral-hued gown for the 2025 SAG Awards—surprise! She gave us neither.

Instead, the A Complete Unknown nominee opted for a custom Loewe black strapless gown featuring a structured peplum silhouette. And honestly? I love this unexpected departure from her usual aesthetic.

Elle is no stranger to weaving a story through her red carpet choices, but this time, she let the gown speak for itself. No elaborate embellishments, no overt theme—just sharp tailoring, modern elegance, and a hint of drama. The major talking points? That sculptural peplum detail, her stunning Cartier necklace, and of course, a bold red lip that added the perfect touch of old-school glamour.

Now, I can already hear the debate brewing. Some might say this is too muted for Elle, lacking the whimsy we’ve come to expect. Others will find it refreshing—a sleek and sophisticated shift that proves she doesn’t need a fairytale gown to command attention.

Which side of the fence are you on?

As for me, I’m completely enchanted. Elle has once again seduced me with her effortless elegance.

Stylist: Samantha McMillen.
