Actor Elle Fanning was an apparition straight out of old Hollywood glamour, appearing at the Cannes 2019 screening of Quentin Tarantino’s highly-anticipated film ‘Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’, wearing a jaw-dropping tribute to Christian Dior’s New Look.

Fanning walked the red carpet in a white organza shirt, dark blue tulle skirt, and a wide-brim hat. Her entire outfit was compliments of Dior Haute Couture . According to Dior, 450 hours of work went into creating Fanning’s ensemble. 200 hours were spent on the skirt alone — which required 50 meters (164 feet) of tulle — and 150 were spent on the pussy-bow blouse 

The 21-year-old Fanning is the youngest juror in the history of the Cannes Film Festival and doesn’t appear in ‘Once Upon A Time in Hollywood’. The film tackles the summer of 1969, a tumultuous moment of American unrest and the Manson murder of pregnant actor Sharon Tate (played by Margot Robbie). At the time, the pregnant Tate was married to besieged director Roman Polanski.
