Elle Fanning’s2022 Emmyslook is as regal as ever.
She continued, “I’m filming season three right now, so we would have fittings after work and Katherine Shaw — she’s the seamstress who has all of Catherine the Great’s clothes on the show’s seasons two and now three. She handmade this dress, she’s the seamstress and cutter and Sharon designed it.”
The custom design featured a statement skirt and train with pale pink lining and an embellished bodice. She teamed the look with a diamond choker and retro pinned hairstyle.
Indicating how “proud” she is to wear the gown, Fanning said she believes it’s “so important” to “pay homage to the creatives” of her series.
“They transform you so much, especially with characters,” she explained of the show’s hair, makeup and wardrobe teams. “You get up in the morning and you feel like yourself. You’re all tired in sweatpants and then boom! In my case, I put my corset on, I have this tall wig. I feel like a queen. I get to play Catherine the Great.”
