School Of Frock: Elle Fanning's red carpet winning streak continues
From the Cannes Film Festival to the ESPYs, Elle Fanning's is an old pro on the red carpet
ELLE FANNING (A)
The ESPYs in Los Angeles
Gown: Celine
Fanning never passes up on a chance to dress to impress - even at a sports awards ceremony. Then again, this is someone who tackles every red carpet like a pro athlete. This asymmetrical silver sequinned gown is edgier than her usual Disney princess, wood nymph or old Hollywood aesthetic, but stunning all the same.
ROSIE HUNTINGTON-WHITELEY (A-)
Premiere of Fast & Furious
Presents: Hobbs & Shaw in Los Angeles
Gown: Atelier Versace
Shoes: Giuseppe Zanotti
Talk about va-va-vroom. Nobody can pay any attention to Dwayne Johnson or Jason Statham when the latter's fiancee is showing everything up - supercars included - in a tight white number with sheer panels and a dangerously high thigh slit. Perfect marriage of sultriness and sophistication.
BEYONCE (C+)
Premiere of The Lion King in Los Angeles
Gown and shoes: Alexander McQueen
I needed Queen Bey to go full lioness for the big premiere, but I am not feeling the love tonight for this ageing, overworked black and silver blazer dress - even if it is crystal-embroidered within an inch of its life. It is top-heavy (adding unflattering bulk), bottom-skimpy (those are literally leg curtains) and an all-round incoherent mess.
ZOOEY DESCHANEL (C-)
Premiere of The Lion King in Los Angeles
Dress: Abodi
While almost everyone and their aunt turned up in animal print for the premiere, Deschanel falls back on her signature kooky, twee vintage look and staple black tights. While it was kind of cute for all of 10 minutes when she was in her 20s, the mishmash of polka dots, bow and puff sleeves appears clownish now that she is 39.
ALI WONG (D)
Premiere of The Lion King in Los Angeles
Gown: Phillip Lim
Another head-scratcher that goes against the dress code. The sassy comedienne loves her animal print minidresses but is inexplicably under-styled here in a wrinkly pink satin bridesmaid reject. Wong is a wild child who can roar with the best of them, but this is a toothless whimper.
