Elle Fanning is suiting up like Hailey Bieber . When the actress attended a photocall for A Complete Unknown , in London on Monday, December 16, she hit an androgynous note in the same Saint Laurent suit that Bieber, 28, memorably wore in October during a date-night-slash-work-party with her husband, Justin Bieber . Fanning, for her part, stars alongside Timothée Chalamet in the new James Mangold -directed film about Bob Dylan .
She plays Sylvie Russo, Dylan’s (Chalamet) one-time girlfriend, who is loosely based on Dylan’s real-life ex-girlfriend, the late Suze Rotolo . When Rotolo wasn’t working as a jewelry maker and artist, she was the muse behind many of the musician’s greatest songs, including “Boots of Spanish Leather.” She also famously graced the cover of his groundbreaking second album, The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan .
Fanning made a similarly striking statement when photographed , not on Jones Street in Manhattan’s West Village, like Russo did for Dylan’s album cover art, but rather on the red carpet at The Curzon Mayfair, the iconic arthouse cinema located in London’s West End. Her natty brown suit was a slight departure from the style originally seen on the Bieber, who wore a near-identical version in light gray. They both layered their oversize tailoring with a classic menswear-inspired oxford shirt and a patterned tie that was cut wide for a retro slant.
While Bieber’s trousers ran intentionally long for maximum swagger, Fanning kept the prop.
