Known for her delicate and feminine red-carpet looks, the then-23-year-old actress switched up her style and channeled her inner goth, wearing a Gucci gown cut from see-through sheer fabric.
She showed plenty of flesh in the revealing number that features an open back design, diamond cutouts on the sleeves and waist, a ruffled high neck, and long fabric ribbons attached to the sleeves, which she dragged along the carpet like a cape.

From ethereal gowns to edgy gothic ensembles, here are some of her most memorable Gucci moments:
1. Ethereal in Green at Cannes
At the 70th Cannes Film Festival, Elle turned heads in a lime green Gucci gown while attending the “How to Talk to Girls at Parties” premiere. The Fall 2017 design featured crystal leaf embroidery and hand-painted silk flowers, a whimsical look that perfectly complemented her delicate beauty.
2. Gothic Glamour in London
For Gucci’s fashion show at Westminster Abbey, Elle embraced a gothic-chic aesthetic in a Victorian-inspired black velvet dress with sheer blouson sleeves and lace trim. She accessorized with a fuchsia pussy bow scarf, a Gucci GG Marmont bag, and studded Gucci “Willow” sandals, embodying timeless sophistication with an edgy twist.
3. Airport Chic with Floral Flair
Elle proved that even casual wear can be stylish when she was spotted at LAX in a black slip dress and varsity jacket. She completed the look with white leather Gucci “Ace” sneakers, embroidered with colorful floral patterns, and a red Gucci Dionysus Blooms handbag for a perfect blend of comfort and luxury.
Elle’s ever-evolving style and her close relationship with Gucci continue to solidify her as one of Hollywood’s most exciting fashion icons.
