For the Hollywood premiere of All the Bright Places on February 24, 2020, Elle Fanning embraced a retro-modern aesthetic at ArcLight Cinemas.
The actress opted for a daring Gucci Spring 2020 jumpsuit featuring a distinctive petal cutout at the midriff, a look that remains a standout example of Alessandro Michele’s era at the Italian fashion house.

Fanning was joined by co-star Justice Smith to celebrate the Netflix adaptation of Jennifer Niven’s acclaimed novel, which is available on Amazon.
To anchor the bold, wide-leg silhouette of her jumpsuit, Fanning leaned into the 1970s inspiration with towering black platform sandals that provided both height and balance to the wool jersey ensemble.

Elle Fanning’s embrace of ’70s-inspired platform sandals places her in stylish company on the modern red carpet, echoing a broader revival seen in stars like Mila Kunis, who has long leaned into disco-era platforms and flared silhouettes, Demi Moore’s sleek Saint Laurent platform boots that channel modern ’70s glamour, and Anna Kendrick’s velvet platform heels with retro nightclub appeal—proof that chunky heels and elevated soles remain a go-to styling tool for balancing wide-leg silhouettes with confidence and height.
Styled by Samantha McMillen, Elle carried a black Broadway-embellished satin clutch and accessorized with a Gucci metal ring featuring floral detailing and a bold choker formed by flower details combined with the emblematic Interlocking G logo.
