Elle Fanning is proving that a sleek leather trench coat is a timeless wardrobe staple—whether you’re channeling Trinity from The Matrix or simply looking to elevate your street style. The actor stepped out in Tribeca on Saturday, embodying New York’s cool, understated chic with a head-to-toe black look that could easily fit into a Matrix movie scene.
Fanning wore a glossy black faux leather trench coat by Khaite, featuring structured shoulders and a sharp collar. She cinched the floor-length coat at the waist with a leather belt, which she knotted in the center for added flair. Beneath the trench, she rocked a silky, electric purple shirtdress, its cool tone providing a striking contrast to the all-black outerwear. The dress featured black buttons that perfectly complemented her accessories, including her pointy black leather knee-high boots from Stuart Weitzman. Known as the Power Boot, the pair retails for $850.
To complete the look, Fanning carried the Bottega Veneta Cobble Crossbody Messenger Bag in woven black leather, a sophisticated touch to her already polished ensemble. The bag retails for $3,100 at Nordstrom.
Her stylish outing came just a day after attending Rolling Stone’s Musicians on Musicians event at the Apollo Theater with her boyfriend, Rolling Stone CEO Gus Wenner, as her date. For the event, Fanning embraced another sultry look—a sheer black slip dress with delicate lace straps adorned with bows, layering it over a black bra and high-waisted panties for a daring, yet elegant, appearance.
Elle Fanning’s latest looks prove that she’s as much a fashion icon as she is a rising star.
