There’s something about Elle Fanning—the way she floats between vintage romanticism and modern femininity—that feels like a perfect match for Mae Threads. Whether she’s on the red carpet in a custom couture gown or photographed off-duty in something playful and polished, Elle always displays elegant, regal, and feminine notes in her style. She’s either a light summer or a light spring in the 12 seasons system and a medium-long-straight in the body matrix system, so I kept that in mind.
If we had the chance to dress her in our favorite Mae Threads pieces, here’s what we’d choose—five looks that feel true to her understated yet regal, feminine aesthetic and wearable for the rest of us, too.
Look 1 – Flower Market Fancy
Main piece: The Willow Floral Dress in French Blue
This look captures Elle’s signature vintage sweetness. With delicate floral print and a flowing silhouette, the Willow Dress feels like something she’d wear for a countryside escape or a quiet afternoon at a flower market. We’d style it with ballet flats, a ribbon-tied straw hat, and a tiny woven bag. Soft blush and a cat-eye flick would finish the look.
Look 2 – Off-Duty in Paris
Main pieces: The Fienna Ruffle Blouse in Yellow + The Tina White Bow Denim Pants
Elle’s casual looks still feel polished and playful. This outfit pairs the Fienna blouse’s gentle structure and romantic ruffle with the Tina pants’ soft bootcut shape, side ribbon details, and delicate bow accents. It’s giving gamine gone girly. Add heeled Mary Janes and tortoiseshell sunglasses for a breezy café moment.
Look 3 – Sunday Morning Softness
Main piece: The Norea Lounge Set in Pool Blue
Even Elle’s loungewear whispers elegance. The Norea Set—a vivid blue quarter-zip pullover with dainty snap buttons and joggers with a softly cinched waistband—is made for journaling in a sunlit room or walking through a sleepy neighborhood with matcha in hand. Add cozy socks, a silk hair scarf, and clear gloss for an effortless look.
Look 4 – Quiet Luxury, Elle Style
Main pieces: The Lizeth Button-Up Floral Midi Skirt in Cream and Black + The Gael Ribbed Tee in Black
Elegant, subtle, and full of texture. The Lizeth skirt’s creamy background and black floral print feel refined and timeless, while the Gael tee adds softness with lace trim and a sweet bow neckline. We imagine Elle in this for a press brunch or gallery visit, with slingbacks, a vintage handbag, and her hair pinned into a twisted chignon. The black color is not in her light season, but Elle embraces the dramatic contrast of darker colors with a bold red lip and confidence!
Look 5 – Premiere Night
Main piece: The Willa Shoulder Bow Dress in Sky Blue
A red-carpet stunner. The Willa Dress’s oversized shoulder bow and soft blue hue feel like something Elle would wear for a premiere—elegant, youthful, and quietly dramatic. We’d keep the rest minimal: silver heels, pearl drop earrings, a clean low bun, and flushed cheeks. Pure modern princess energy.
Elle Fanning’s style lives at the intersection of modern fairytale and effortless chic—which is exactly where Mae Threads shines, too. Whether you’re heading to brunch, curling up at home, or chasing little ones through a garden, there’s a piece (and a little bit of Elle Fanning magic) waiting for you here.
