Unlike the corseted women of the Victorian era, modern women rarely require fainting couches. Still, one actress says her too-tight outfit led to a “dramatic” dizzy spell at the Cannes Film Festival.
In a new interview with W Magazine, actress Elle Fanning, 27, was asked about her famous fainting incident. The episode occurred at the Chopard Trophy dinner during the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, where Fanning, then 21, served as a juror.
“My dress was too tight,” the Sentimental Value star said in the interview, referencing the nude Prada dress she wore to the event. The gown featured a long tulle hem, colorful floral embellishments, and a snug corseted bodice.
