Elle Fanning was among other notable Hollywood stars and storytellers who attended the ceremony honoring Coppola — whose works include the Godfather franchise, among others. Prolific directors like Ron Howard, Spike Lee, and Star Wars creator George Lucas also attended the ceremony.

Fanning’s style on red carpets has been a focal point over the last several months as she’s been promoting A Complete Unknown, the Bob Dylan biopic starring Timothée Chalamet. She’s leaned into the ’60s aesthetic at premieres and press events, mirroring the film’s backdrop and time period. Despite her wide range of films and success at such a young age, Fanning told Teen Vogue in December that some people tried to put her in a box after starring as Snow White in Maleficent.
“For me, it was like, “Oh, you’re the Disney Princess girl! You’re always happy and smiley.” And I was like, “Yeah, I do smile a lot, I am a pretty happy person, but not all the time. It’s a role.” You would think people would get it, but they still want to put you in a box.”
