Elle Fanning looks regal as she hits the red carpet at the 2022 Emmy Awards on Monday night (September 12) at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.

The 24-year-old actress and first time nominee wore a stunning black gown that featured a light pink lining, pairing the dress with a diamond choker. Her look was designed by Sharon Long, who also acts as the costume designer for Elle‘s show The Great.

“I’ve always been inspired by the old Hollywood glamor of the 50s and specifically when costume designers would design actresses’ gowns, like Edith Head would always design Grace Kelly‘s Oscar dress. It’s so special and you can see that those dresses are made with love,” she said during E!‘s Live from the Red Carpet special. “And Sharon Long, who actually won an Emmy last week for our show The Great. Once I got nominated, I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be amazing if she designed my dress?’”

“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,” Elle continued, per People.

Elle is up for Best Lead Actress in a Comedy for her work in The Great. Check out the full list of nominees here!
