Elle Fanning: Sentimental Value star on Cannes Film Festival, Hunger Games prequel casting
Don't miss out on the headlines from Celeb Style. Followed categories will be added to My News. EXCLUSIVE: Whether she was wearing a powder-blue Chanel gown or a white T-shirt with the words 'Joachim Trier Summer' on it, Elle Fanning was the toast of the recent Cannes Film Festival. Nevertheless, Fanning confesses that fronting the press at the Palais des Festivals for the premiere of her upcoming film Sentimental Value – and as an ambassador for L'Oréal Paris – was 'nerve-racking' in the best possible way. 'My heart is pounding,' Fanning tells Stellar, recalling the moment she stepped onto the red carpet. 'It's like I have so many butterflies because it's just so magical. [Cannes] is a special place for me, I've been here with many films, I've got to be on the Jury. There's no feeling quite like it on the giant carpet at the Palais.' Elle Fanning in CHANEL at the closing ceremony of the 78th annual Cannes Film Festival at Palais des Festivals. Picture: Getty Images Picture: Getty Images Picture: Getty Images At 27 years old, Fanning is already a Hollywood veteran. She made her film debut at two in 2001's I Am Sam, playing the younger version of her actor sister Dakota Fanning's character. After that came a string of roles. There was Sofia Coppola's dreamy 2010 drama Somewhere, and Maleficent with Angelina Jolie in 2014. In 2017 she co-starred with Nicole Kidman in The Beguiled; and last year, she featured in the Oscar-nominated Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, opposite her close friend Timothée Chalamet as Dylan ('we had such a fun time', Fanning recalls). She will work with Kidman again in the upcoming TV series, Margo's Got Money Troubles, and was recently cast to play the role of Effie Trinkey in Hunger Games prequel, Sunrise On The Reaping. She was back in Cannes to promote the Joachim Trier-directed Sentimental Value, in which she fittingly portrays a young Hollywood star. Picture: Getty Images Picture: Getty Images The movie – already earning raves as an early Oscars contender – won Cannes' coveted Grand Prix after receiving a reported 19-minute ovation. Fanning says that working with the Danish-born Norwegian director was on her 'bucket list'. But like Kidman, who has famously vowed to work with a female director every 18 months, she is also keen to increase women's representation in Hollywood. 'There's so much more progress to be made,' she tells Stellar. 'But we're having these conversations and there are, hopefully, more opportunities being opened up for these talented female filmmakers.' When asked how she feels about being a role model to young women herself, Fanning pauses to consider those who have inspired her.

'I'm trying to learn from [them], and how they treated me, and try to kind of emulate that to younger girls that I work with. 'It's funny not being the youngest person on a film set now. 'I had a lot of people who were kind to me growing up and gave me advice. I just want to be that for people that I work with. 'It's so important for young women to have stories that are told from a woman's point of view. 'To show that you can express yourself and have the confidence to share your stories.' Part of that confidence, Fanning says, comes from her ambassador role with L'Oréal Paris, whose slogan is famously 'because you're worth it'. Picture: Getty Images for L'Oreal Picture: Getty Images for L'Oreal Musing on the sentiment, she says: 'It has nothing to do with stereotypical beauty as we see it. It really has to do with beauty from the inside, which comes from [having] the confidence to love yourself entirely and to treat yourself [with respect]. 'We are worth it to feel our feelings. We're worth it to be messy. Especially as women, we have the power. It's such a strong message.' While public appearances are now old hat for Fanning, she says it still takes her hours to get ready for events and premieres. Elle Fanning, right, with her sister Dakota in 2019. Picture: Getty Images As Fanning points out, it's about more than just how she looks. 'It's a three-hour situation to get ready for a red carpet for me,' she says with a laugh. 'I get up, I have coffee, I have breakfast – I put a face mask on. I put ice over the face mask that I use to de-puff from jet lag and travelling. I have a [L'Oréal] Revitalift serum that I use for my skin. 'I also try to calm myself because I know it's going to be nerve-racking. It might be a stressful day, so [it's important to] just kind of have the morning to yourself – and get going.'

‘My heart is pounding': Elle Fanning on Cannes, red carpet routines and women in Hollywood

Screen Talk's Winners and Losers of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival
As IndieWire wraps up our Cannes Film Festival coverage — see our favorite films of the festival here and our annual critics survey here — so does the Screen Talk podcast. This week, hosts Anne Thompson and Ryan Lattanzio debate the late-breaking premieres like 'The History of Sound' and 'The Mastermind,' finally get a chance to gush over 'Sentimental Value,' and speculate on what countries might submit Cannes premieres for the International Feature Oscar. Since Iran will never submit its dissident director Jafar Panahi, who's back in his home country post-Cannes despite legal battles and decades of censorship attempts by the Islamic Republic, for Palme d'Or winner 'It Was Just an Accident,' we're going with Luxembourg as the country to pick this film for the Oscars. Both France and Luxembourg have production stakes in the film, though France will have plenty of other contenders to work with. More from IndieWire Cannes 2025 Films Sold So Far: Kino Lorber Buys 'Amrum' from Director Fatih Akin Ariana Grande Joins 'Meet the Parents 4' Cast with Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro Norway, no question, will submit Grand Prix winner 'Sentimental Value' from Joachim Trier, which Anne says has one of the great onscreen sister bonding moments of all time shared by actresses Renate Reinsve and Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas. Both could be in the Oscar running with the right Neon campaign. (Check out our no-holds-barred interview with Tom Quinn on the ground here.) Anne finally saw 'Sîrat,' the French-Spanish co-production directed by Oliver Laxe, another late-festival Neon pick-up, despite watching some of it with her hands over her eyes. She compares the film to 'The Wages of Fear' and its remake 'Sorcerer' as a road odyssey in which trucks plow across the Moroccan desert. The great Sergi López stars as a father who, traveling with his young son, searches for his missing daughter amid marauding throngs of drug-fueled ravers. Ryan rewatched the film and has a better grasp of what it's trying to say now. That morning in Cannes, he just wasn't in the mood for this particularly fatalistic, dance-until-we-die apocalyptic vision. The hosts are split on Kelly Reichardt's anti-heist movie 'The Mastermind,' which rigorously stages with impeccable 1970 detail a story of a clumsy art thief (Josh O'Connor) falling down the hole of his own poorly hatched plan. Anne points out that Reichardt is 'slow as molasses' as ever, while Ryan lapped up the period elements and casting, even if the charismatic Alana Haim is gravely underused. Also, we wanted more heat (i.e. sex) from Oliver Hermanus' 'The History of Sound,' which features a great O'Connor performance as well as another moving turn from Paul Mescal. Ryan likes this film more than Anne, though they both admit it's a perhaps too handsomely made period love story. Finally, we share thoughts on the season finale of 'The Last of Us,' which ends with a soap-operatic-level cliffhanger that will keep us on edge for the show's return more than a year from of IndieWire Nightmare Film Shoots: The 38 Most Grueling Films Ever Made, from 'Deliverance' to 'The Wages of Fear' Quentin Tarantino's Favorite Movies: 65 Films the Director Wants You to See The 19 Best Thrillers Streaming on Netflix in May, from 'Fair Play' to 'Emily the Criminal'
