Elle Fanning Looks Fierce in YSL Power Suit and Whimsical Wedge Pumps at ‘A Complete Unknown’ London Event
Elle Fanning is dressing to impress throughout the press run for “A Complete Unknown,” the Bob Dylan biopic set for release on Christmas Day. Venturing into the menswear realm again for a photocall in London on Dec. 16, the actress dressed up in a crisp YSL suit and a pair of ultra-sharp black shoes.
Fanning’s ensemble included a pinstriped button-down neatly tucked high-waisted wide-leg trousers with a crease down each leg; the pants were cinched at the waist with a belt and a navy tie with a pattern was fastened at her neck. For some of the photos on the red carpet, Fanning unified the suit look with a double-breasted blazer with strong shoulders and a dramatic sharp lapel; the jacket was in the same taupe shade as her pants. Meanwhile, her hair was parted to the side and styled in sleek blonde waves while a singular pin contributed to her posh aura.
Her chic business vibe was enhanced by a pair of striking black pointed-toe wedges. The shoes featured an elongated pointed toe which curved into a narrow square-edged tip; the dramatic silhouette only emphasized the commanding nature of her outfit. The shoes appeared to be a design from Saint Laurent’s Spring 2025 Ready-to-Wear Collection.
Her stylist Samantha McMillen shared photos of the look on Instagram. The heels piqued a fan’s interest, who asked in the comments, “I’m curious about the shoe. Sling back kitten?” to which McMilled responded, “It’s a sling back metal wedge.” In another photo the stylist shared to her Instagram Story, Fanning’s shoe was visible revealing a thing slingback strap, an exaggerated pointed toe and a sleek, metal wedge.
Stella McCartney also makes a vegan black pump with a similar pointed toe; the brand’s Elsa style retails for $860 from Bergdorf Goodman.
Fanning has certainly been turning heads as she promotes “A Complete Unknown.” She wore a different menswear look hailing from Bottega Veneta last month which included hardware-adorned loafers. More recent footwear choices of Fanning’s have included black pumps from Shushu/Tong and off-white mules from Betzabe.
