Elle Fanning is looking fly.
Continuing her avant-garde streak for The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping press, Fanning arrived at a London photocall today dressed in a look that would make Effie Trinket proud. The actor and her stylist, Samantha McMillen, turned to Alessandro Michele and the Valentino team to create a custom, vintage-inspired skirt suit: a pale salmon jacket and pencil skirt, both outfitted with micropleated hems. For an extra flourish, Fanning’s tailored jacket featured a crisp white ruffled collar.
But a character as over-the-top as Effie demands an extra dose of theatricality. Luckily she came to the right place: Michele helped Fanning achieve her method dressing dreams with butterfly-laden accessories: a pair of semi-sheer wrist-length gloves and a matching cream-colored beret, both adorned with three-dimensional and multicolored butterflies. (Fans will recall the Alexander McQueen butterfly dress that Elizabeth Banks wore as Effie in the original Hunger Games series.)
