Elle Fanning may be comfortable in front of the cameras, but in front of a live audience? That’s a different story. The Maleficent actress seemed nervous during her speech at Variety’s “Power of Young Hollywood” in Los Angeles.

The younger Fanning sibling, who landed on Variety’s cover for the month, wore an eclectic Madonna-inspired dress from the Marc Jacobs Resort 2017 collection.

“I thought it’s [a bit] like Madonna, and it’s her birthday today. It’s Eighties Material Girl. That was the inspiration,” Fanning told WWD about Madonna, who celebrated her 58th birthday on August 16, 2016.

The ankle-length chiffon dress featured black spaghetti straps, a sheer corset-like top worn over a strapless purple bra, chain embellishments, and all-over appliqués and pins.

Elle appeared visibly nervous while delivering her speech, often glancing downward and pausing between sentences, but her vulnerability made the moment feel all the more genuine.

During her remarks, she reflected on the honor of being featured on Variety’s cover and expressed gratitude to the publication for supporting Real Girl, a global nonprofit that empowers young women through education and mentorship.
