Dakota Fanning Wore a Wedding-Worthy Pearl-Embellished Gown to the Emmys

During the week, you can reliably find me on my bed watching TV when I'm finished with work. I spend more time than I care to admit watching shows, so I always get excited when the Emmys roll around. This year, I'm rooting for Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Slow Horses, Only Murders in the Building, and True Detective: Night Country. I'll admit that I haven't watched every single nominated show, but give me some time and I'll get through all of them!
The Emmys red carpet is always fun to witness, and this year was certainly no exception. Stylish nominees include Selena Gomez, Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Ayo Edebiri, Claire Foy, and others. One attendee, however, stood out to me: Dakota Fanning. She wore an Armani Privé dress so stunning and ethereal that someone needs to get married in it ASAP. The house described the dress as a "strapless bustier gown in gold silk satin with a tulle overlay embroidered with pearls and crystals." Yes, it's as good as it sounds. Scroll down to see Fanning's 2024 Emmys red carpet look from every angle.

On the Runway

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern in 2011—back when the site only published a single story per day. (We have since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC and lives in Los Angeles. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports. She frequently contributes to WWW's social accounts and has a sizable following on her personal TikTok.
