Elle Fanning rocks a dress with metal pasties for night out at Cannes Film Festival

Cannes she get more risqué?

Elle Fanning went with a bold choice last night as she headed out to party in France during the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, wearing a silver Paco Rabanne dress covered in metallic feathers and held up by a metal necklace with attached pasties.

“Now THISSSSS is a partyyyy dressss @pacorabanne” the newly single star captioned her post, adding five disco ball emojis.

“The Great” actress, 25, glimmered in the dramatic look, which was covered in tinsel-like fringe and featured metallic silver flowers that barely covered her breasts.

Elle Fanning looked like a disco ball as she headed out for a night in Cannes yesterday.
The silver gown included a choker-style necklace that attached to the bodice.

She added metallic silver heels and wore her blond hair in a long, straight style for the evening, going jewelry-free to let her dress do the talking.

Stylist Samantha McMillen shared a video and several photos of Fanning in the sexy outfit, with Kate Bosworth commenting, “The Great! Such a good look :).”

Others jumped in on the actress’ post, like one fan who wrote, “you have so much trust in that dress lmao. it’s a stunning look though!”

Actress Lucy Boynton added, “Deceeeeeeased” and Lily Aldridge simply left five heart-eye emojis in the comments.

Her disco-ready look follows the fairytale ballgown she wore on the red carpet earlier this week, with the star sporting a custom Alexander McQueen look to the premiere of “Jeanne du Barry.”

“This creation by Sarah Burton is a work of art,” she posted on Instagram, adding that the silver-and-pink look was “femininity and strength combined in one deconstructed orchid.”

“I can’t thank Sarah and the McQueen team enough for making my dress of dreams,” Fanning wrote on Instagram, referring to designer Sarah Burton. GC Images
