Elle Fanning cuts a glamorous figure in slinky black dress as she steps out during Cannes Film Festival

Elle Fanning showed off her hourglass figure at the Cannes Film Festival on Saturday.

The actress, 26, looked incredible in in a slinky black dress at the annual film festival as she made her way out of a luxury hotel.

Elle looked cool, calm and collected as she wandered through the city wearing a pair of red-framed sunglasses.

The Girl From Plainville star let her short blonde locks hang neatly around her shoulders and kept her accessories to a minimum, opting only for a black-strapped wristwatch and matching handbag.

The blonde beauty, who is the younger sister of fellow actress Dakota Fanning, finished off the look with a pair of black heels.

The whole outfit was a stark contrast to her fashion choices for the night before when she attended star-studded L’Oréal party alongide A-Listers like Dame Helen Mirren and  Viola Davis. 

For that glitzy event, Elle flashed her washboard abs in a pale pink strapless top with a stunning mesh skirt.

She teamed her look with a glitzy silver cardigan and opted for a blush pink makeup look.

Meanwhile, Helen Mirren, 78, showcased her age-defying figure in a bejewelled long-sleeve dress.

She confidently posed in her glamorous attire, flaunting her snatched waist and natural beauty.

 First Lady actress Viola looked effortlessly chic in a lime green ruffled gown and wore sparkling dangling earrings.

Cannes is the world’s biggest film festival, first conceived in 1939 as an alternative to the then-fascist-influenced Venice Film Festival.

It has been held annually since 1946 except in 1948 and 1950, when it was cancelled due to lack of funds.

The festival is known for its carefully selected programme of films that have gone on to Oscar glory or launched the careers of directors like Quentin Tarantino.

Cannes’ top prize is the Palme d’Or, or Golden Palm, whose past winners include Taxi Driver, Apocalypse Now, Pulp Fiction, The Pianist and Parasite.
