Yay or Nay: Elle Fanning wears Prada at Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2 Premiere

Posted by Nicole | Monday November 19, 201283 comments


One of our major pet peeves is when young, bright Hollywood actresses dress way older than their age. Whether it's a dowdy grannie look (a la T.Swift) or a too sexy, baring all look (a la Miley Cyrus), we like it best when our favourite leading ladies dress age and event appropriate. So, we were happy to see that Elle Fanning was attempting a cute, youthful and feminine outfit and makeup for the premiere of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (Part 2). The only downside is, she didn't quite succeed. 


Dressed head to toe in Prada, Elle wore a pale pink dress that gave an unflattering shape to her body. The dress has some sort of a peplum effect; if you can call it that, because the waist was dropped and undefined. Between that and the loose hanging back and that weird ribbon action happening, it just doesn't work.

While the dress is pretty bad, my biggest concern with this outfit is the choice of platform wedged sandals. What, is going on down there, Elle? Did you sprain your ankle? Are those some sort of medical supply store shoe? We get that it's Prada Elle, but that doesn't mean it's nice. Sorry babe, but you're officially a fashion victim. 

What are your thoughts on her pale pink Prada outfit? Leave a comment below with your yay or nay vote to win a prize!

Nay!!! The colour makes her looked washed out and she looks more like a child in it! I usually love her style but this one is best left at home.

I say Yay.

At first I wasn't a fan of the shoes, but after a step back to re-evaluate this outfit I really found it great.

The dress is pale, but has a lovely blush to it, just as she has left her natural youthful complexion.

The dress also has playful folds and layers, which the shoes do follow while adding a bit more colour.

I think if she is dressing like this now, we have decades to look forward to interesting risks and forward thinking.

Nay! This dress doesn't flatter her at at! I find the skirt weird and the back, well, lacking. And the shoes didn't go with this outfit at all! (Though I'm not sure which shoes would go with this outfit...) I definitely think she should have gone with another outfit!
