Awards season fashion has a unique way of transforming a single red carpet appearance into a memorable style moment, and this year’s Emmys were no exception. With plunging necklines, dramatic trains, and bold color choices, the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards provided fashion enthusiasts with plenty to discuss before the awards were even presented.

Elle Fanning graced the ceremony with added excitement, having received two nominations this year, including Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her role as Margo Millet in Apple TV’s ‘Margo’s Got Money Troubles,’ along with a nod in the Outstanding Comedy Series category. This double nomination heightened the anticipation for her red carpet appearance.

Fanning walked the carpet at the Peacock Theater in a custom jade green Ralph Lauren gown, a sleek slip dress characterized by ultra-delicate straps and a plunging V-shaped neckline. The smooth, satin fabric hugged her waist before flowing into a bias-cut, floor-length skirt, while a dramatic scarf detail attached at the shoulder cascaded down her back into long, sweeping fringe that trailed behind her with each step.

The gown’s open-back design became one of its most striking features, with Fanning turning to showcase the low-back cut while the fringe detail moved gracefully as she posed for photographers. Curated by her longtime stylist Samantha McMillen, the dress also featured a long train that added extra drama to her silhouette on the red carpet.

To enhance the pale green hue, Fanning opted for Cartier jewelry, a fitting choice considering her role as an ambassador for the brand and the face of its Grain de Café collection. She adorned herself with Cartier platinum diamond tulipe chandelier earrings and a bold Cartier En Équilibre ring featuring emerald beads framed by diamonds, both pieces beautifully complementing the soft green tones of her gown.

Her glam followed a similarly polished approach, with hairstylist Jenda Alcorn styling her platinum blonde hair in a middle part and long, flouncy barrel curls. Makeup artist Erin Ayanian Monroe completed the look with bold brows, lined eyes, and a glossy lip, striking a balance between the gown’s soft pastel color and a more defined, radiant finish overall.

This latest Emmys moment continues a trend for Fanning, who has established a reputation for delivering unforgettable red carpet looks throughout the current awards season, including a figure-hugging silver gown at the Golden Globes and an understated black gown at the Producers Guild Awards. With her fashion choices consistently ranking among the standout looks of the night, it’s evident that Fanning has become one of the most compelling presences on any red carpet she graces.
