Elle Fanning isn’t just starring in movies anymore. She’s starring in her own fashion era. For i-D’s Fall/Winter 2025 digital cover, photographed by Ilya Lipkin and styled by Georgia Pendlebury, she turns quiet confidence into a visual statement. Leather jackets, oversized brown frames, and a perfectly timed wink make her look both untouchable and entirely in on the joke.
The story moves through sleek urban spaces where light hits like intention. Sculptural shapes meet glossy finishes. Marc Jacobs and Chanel collide with Coach in looks that balance structure and softness. Every outfit feels like a new mood board of who Elle is becoming.
Between shots, she talks about the shift from actor to multi-hyphenate. Producing under Lewellen Pictures with her sister Dakota. Choosing projects that feel strange, smart, or a little risky. It’s the energy of someone who’s grown up in front of a camera but is now directing her own frame.
What comes through most is the ease. Elle looks like she belongs anywhere she stands. And that might be her real power style as self-knowledge, fashion as language, and playfulness as a form of control.
