ELLE FANNING CONTINUES to turn up on the red carpet season after season and year after year in the perfect jewelry for her frame, her gown and the trends that are happening, or as a style-setter for those that are about to happen.
Fanning has set trends as far back as I can remember. She can easily wear a modern independent jeweler’s handful of rings and sunflower earrings, like when she wore Irene Neuwirth’s jewels at the 2023 Critics Choice Awards. She has given new life to hair jewels by wearing renowned houses’ high jewelry or heritage brooches, whether she’s donning a shorter bob or long locks. She has also worn antique and vintage jewelry, showing that pieces from the past can look chic and modern.
This was the case at the 2025 Oscars when she dazzled in a vintage Cartier Tradition necklace from circa 1958, crafted in 18K white gold and diamonds. The stunning piece beautifully complemented her white lace Givenchy gown with a black bow, designed by Sarah Burton. Notably, Fanning wore the gown just before Burton’s debut runway show as Givenchy’s designer. The necklace exemplified 1950s evening jewelry, featuring white metal and diamonds, often inspired by the Edwardian/Belle Époque or Art Deco eras.
