Soft Elegance Is Trending—Dakota Fanning Looks Like She Stepped Out of a Pre-Raphaelite Painting in This Dress
Australian brand Zimmermann touched down in Los Angeles last week, gathering dozens of stylish people at the Chateau Marmont for a riotous dinner party on a rainy night. Founders Nicky and Simone Zimmermann hosted the event to celebrate the cruise 2026 collection, dubbed Twisted Romance. Guests included Dakota Fanning, Rita Ora, Zoey Deutch, Emma Roberts, Halle Bailey, Bella Heathcote, Anna Diop, and others, all of whom were dressed from head to toe in the new pieces.
While everyone looked spectacular in their Zimmermann pieces, I immediately zeroed in on Fanning's ethereal dress. Her Rebellion Lantern Gown features painterly ocean motifs like shells, waves, and ships. While sequins, leather, and lamé are everywhere during the holiday season, they're far from your only options. If you prefer pastels to paillettes, consider emulating Fanning by wearing romantic, breezy pieces with watercolor-like prints. Scroll down to see what Fanning and other attendees wore to the party and shop their outfits.
