Elle Fanning put on a stylish display in a strapless sparkly black dress as she attended the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Beverly Hills on Sunday.
The actress, 26, who is best known for her role as Briar Rose in Maleficent, turned heads as she wore a strapless sparkly dress on the red carpet.
The black gown with cape detailing featured a pop of colour in the form of a red belt, which was cinched around her svelte waist.
In keeping with her red theme, she added inches to her petite frame and slipped into a pair of red stilettos.
To accessorise, she kept it simple with a diamond droplet necklace and a chunky diamond ring.
She finished her glamorous ensemble with a red lip and styled her blonde tresses into a side-parted bob.

The party kicked off once the awards have wrapped up, where this year Anora took home Best Picture as well as Best Actress for Mikey Madison.
Anora’s writer and director earned three awards including: Best Original Screenplay, Achievement in Film Editing, and the coveted Best Director. Adrien Brody won Best Actor for The Brutalist.
Demi Moore was left crushed as Mikey beat her to the coveted Best Actress award at the 2025 Oscars, on a night when Anora dominated with five wins including Best Picture.
Demi, 62, had been a clear front-runner and her fury was palpable as 25-year-old rising star Mikey’s name was called out in front of a stunned audience at the 97th Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
Other big winners on Sunday night included Zoe Saldana, who took home the Best Supporting Actress award for her role in the controversial Emilia Perez and Adrian Brody, who triumphed over Timothée Chalamet for the Best Actor award with his performance in the The Brutalist.
Kieran Culkin kicked off the evening with a Best Supporting Actor win for A Real Pain.
Demi could be seen with a clenched jaw as her name wasn’t called, but she did say ‘nice’ to herself as she applauded Mikey’s big win.
It was a particularly surprising upset because Demi had won the actress award at most of the major pre-Oscar events for her role in The Substance.

Mikey portrays an escort in Anora, an independent film with a $6 million budget for which Sean Baker won Best Director. She recognized the sex worker community in a touching acceptance speech.
She said: ‘I also just want to, again, recognize and honor the sex worker community. I will. Yes. I will continue to support and be an ally.
‘All of the incredible people, the women that I’ve had the privilege of meeting from that community has been one of the highlights of this incredible experience.’
At the end of the night the film earned top prize Best Picture Award over The Brutalist, A Complete Unknown, Conclave, Dune: Part Two, Emilia Pérez, I’m Still Here, Nickel Boys, The Substance, and Wicked.
Anora’s writer and director Sean Baker also earned three awards including: Best Original Screenplay, Achievement in Film Editing, and the coveted Best Director.
The film is centered around a young escort named Ani (played by Mikey) from Brooklyn meets and impulsively marries the son of a Russian oligarch. Once the news reaches Russia, her fairy tale is threatened as his parents set out for New York to get the marriage annulled.
Adrien Brody took home his second ever Best Actor award earlier in the night.
The 51-year-old actor stopped the exit music from playing as he was recognized for his work in The Brutalist.
