There are a lot of famous families in Hollywood, but none can compete—at least to me—with Elle and Dakota Fanning. We’re rarely fortunate enough to see them together publically, but when we do, it’s always a viral moment. And tonight at the 82nd annual Golden Globe Awards, held at The Beverly Hilton, that’s exactly what we got.
The elder of the two Fanning sisters, Dakota, is nominated in the Best Performance by a Supporting Actress in a Television Series category for her performance in Ripley—and she certainly dressed for the carpet she’d be walking on. For the occasion, Dakota and her long-time stylist Samantha McMillen chose a bright red gown with a draped bodice, attached scarf, and sky-high slit. The color is daring for the red carpet (not to mention a huge trend right now), but she pulled it off with ease.

Her younger sister, who recently starred in the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown alongside Timothée Chalamet and Monica Barbara, came to support her. Like Dakota, Elle’s worked with McMillen for years, and the two always come up with something perfect and high-octane for award shows like the Golden Globes. This year, the actress went with Balmain and Cartier, choosing a champagne-colored satin ballgown with a leopard-print bodice. I guess an affinity for statement trends—red on Dakota and animal print on Elle—runs in the family.
We don’t have a photo of the duo just yet, but our fingers are tightly crossed that at least one will surface from tonight’s festivities. For now, scroll down for more angles of Elle’s bold look.
