Elle Fanning has been known for her portrayal of whimsical characters, even paying homage to them with her red carpet style.
The actress — dubbed “Unicorn Elle” — has pulled off a whole lot of tulle and flower dresses on the red carpet with the help of her stylist Samantha McMillen.
And for her most recent red carpet appearance at the Cannes Film Festival, the actress went for the innocent peasant-girl-next-door look at the photo call for her latest film, “The Beguiled.”

During the interview, Elle talked about how close she ended up becoming with co-star Kirsten Dunst.
Despite the 16-year gap, the two revealed that they shared a lot of similarities with each other — including their taste in fashion. The two showed up on the red carpet in similar dresses without notifying each other.
Elle also talked about how fond she is of director Sofia Coppola, who, Elle said, has a certain quality to her films that cannot be replicated.
