The actress avoids the pressure with professionalism, naturalness and confidence
“Beauty to me is a form of self-love,” Elle Fanning reports, sitting on a sofa in a suite at the Hôtel Le Majestic in Cannes. “Even if it’s about your makeup or how you do your hair, it means finding time in your day to look at yourself in the mirror and give it… a moment».
The ambassador of the perfume “Fame” by Rabanne she is a special actress of her generation. Her presence makes her look like a little fairy. Her professionalism is the key to becoming a respected actress in an industry she has been working in for as long as she can remember.

“In the first movie I did, I Am Sam, I played my sister (Dakota Fanning) at a younger age, when I was two years old. I don’t remember much from it. I know I visited her on set and they said, “You look so much like your sister.”».
Two years ago they founded their own production company, Lewellen Pictures, following in the footsteps of many of their colleagues who decided to take the reins of stories: “We are very good partners. We balance each other out in the business world».
Fanning has grown up on the set – at the age of 15 she had already worked with them Sofia Coppola, David Fincher, Alejandro González Iñárritu and JJ Abrams – and has attracted younger generations in turn “The Great”, in which she plays Catherine the Great of Russia. “”The Great” has given me so much! I feel like I’ve grown as an actress, but also as a person playing Catherine, because Catherine is such a strong, honest leader. Especially in my role as a producer, I’ve learned to develop my confidence and be a little more honest in that position».
She herself knows the fame game well. “There’s a responsibility that comes with it, especially now that I’m a young woman and have younger girls who admire me. You want to use your fame wisely and in a good way. Of course, there is the dark side of fame, which I feel both my sister and I have avoided. We were child actors and you hear those stories, but we had such a great family and really good people around us. We had a normalcy in our lives. So now there’s the fun side of fame, like being in Cannes and walking the red carpet. I do what I love».
Being a star also comes with the pressure of beauty standards, which Fanning has endured both in Hollywood and with her classmates. “I think everyone feels that way, whether you’re in front of a camera or not, because we have social media. You compare yourself to other people a lot of times and you see all these images. No one is immune to feeling this way. It gets better as you get older, because when you’re young, it can overwhelm you».
Today, she has enough experience to stand tall and trust her instincts. This is how she chooses her next jobs:If you have to think long and hard about a project and if you really try to figure out whether you should do it or not, I end up not doing it. I really like the gut reaction from the first time I read something and the feeling that I can’t let anyone else play that role».

She feels very comfortable playing with fashion: “I have always been very fond of fashion and felt that I could express myself through clothes. From a young age, I would go to thrift stores and mix them into my own wardrobe and I just loved putting things together. So it’s just a part of my identity. It’s like a creative extension of who I am and what character I want to be that day“, adds the famous actress.
