Paco Rabanne announced that Elle is the ambassador of their new fragrance, FAME.

Playful. Sensual. Empowered. Irresistibly Parisian. She’s an icon. She’s a star. She’s FAME, the covetable new feminine fragrance by Paco Rabanne. A future classic, this 90% of natural origin fragrance matches airy jasmine, succulent mango and addictive incense. Its ultra-desirable bottle reprises the brand’s iconic chainmail dress. The quintessence of avant-garde luxury.

“I am thrilled to be an ambassador of a brand as iconic as Paco Rabanne. I was completely taken by the concept, and felt like it was a perfect fit and really reflects my personality. Being part of this new chapter was an immediate yes!” expresses Elle Fanning.

“Multifaceted and multitalented, Elle Fanning couldn’t be a better choice as the face of FAME”, says Paco Rabanne Vice President Jérôme Leloup. “She embodies the very essence of Paco Rabanne’s ultramodern femininity, and we are very happy to have her as the ambassador for our new fragrance.”

FAME Eau de Parfum will be available as of July 1st, 2022, at pacorabanne.com, and at all the brand’s points of sale in September 2022.

We’ve added the first images of Elle in the campaign to our gallery, including a couple of behind the scenes shots shared by Erin Ayanian Monroe, her makeup artist.

Hi everyone! I hope you’re doing well. 🙂

We’ve changed the look of our site entirely – it was about time! The new layouts were designed and coded by me, so please let me know if you see anything weird anywhere. I hope you like them!

You can now access Totally Elle through ELLE-FANNING.NET and ELLEFANNING.NET!

Since Twitter suspended our old account, we’re back with a new one: @totallyelle_, please follow us for site updates! Our old Instagram account is active again, too: @ellefanningnet.

Last, but not least, we have an announcement to make: We’ll be removing the entire Out & About section of our photo gallery within the next couple of months. We’ve never liked updating it, but did so out of respect for the previous webmasters. Since we’ve been running Totally Elle for several years now, we’re finally pulling the plug on that, and focusing on the reason this fansite exists to begin with: Elle’s career! So here’s a fair warning, in case there’s anything in there that you’d like to save in your own archives.

Elle is on the cover of Teen Vogue’s Special Edition! She talks about her latest movie Teen Spirit, her love for singing and functioning under pressure. A new photoshoot was released along with the issue, and we’ve uploaded it to our photo gallery.

There’s a scene near the end of Elle Fanning’s new movie Teen Spirit where she performs Sigrid’s “Don’t Kill My Vibe” in the finals of a singing competition. Her character, Violet Valenski, the young daughter of a Polish immigrant, sees the contest as a way out of her small town, where her days are spent going to school, working in a restaurant to support herself and her mother, and taking care of her family’s goats and horses.

As Violet belts the song’s chorus, she tears the mic off the stand, throwing herself around onstage like Dua Lipa or Gwen Stefani (who has a song on the soundtrack). Violet puts those years of dancing in her room to “Just a Girl” to good use, eventually rising to the top, where she is confronted with the stakes of her burgeoning fame.

Violet is trying to achieve a lifelong dream, but in the finals, Elle transcends her character, fulfilling her own lifelong dream of being a singer. And as she loses herself in the song, wailing lyrics like “I throw myself from heights that used to scare me” with wild emotion, she’s also, well, us, embodying that hidden part of ourselves that yearns to be seen, to be recognized for what we can do and to be adored for it — and as we encounter success, to maintain some semblance of what made us unique in the first place.

That’s the conflict at the crux of Teen Spirit, a pop movie-musical that follows the introverted-outsider Violet’s journey through the rounds of an American Idol–type singing competition until she makes it to the finals. Written and directed by The Handmaid’s Tale actor Max Minghella, executive-produced by Jamie Bell, and produced by La La Land’s Fred Berger, Teen Spirit is a gritty commentary on what it takes to become a star while retaining some part of your original self.

Elle is aware that this kind of story is captivating for audiences, as evidenced by the number of films with similar arcs, like the aforementioned La La Land and the recent Lady Gaga–led remake of A Star Is Born. See also: Burlesque, Almost Famous, and even one of Elle’s other movies, The Neon Demon, where a young girl becomes a supermodel to terrifying consequences.

“It’s a fairy tale. A girl or boy from a small town enters the big city and has their first experience with stardom,” Elle tells Teen Vogue. “I don’t think people will ever really stop telling that story.”

Surprisingly, Teen Spirit was Elle’s first time really singing in a movie, in an already prolific career filled with indie flicks like How to Talk to Girls at Parties and 20th Century Women, Sofia Coppola’s The Beguiled and Somewhere, and big-budget Disney hits like Maleficent, and its sequel slated for release later this year. At first Elle wasn’t considered for the role of Violet; she heard about Teen Spirit from a press release announcing Minghella as the director — not a traditional agent or casting call — and she reached out to set up a meeting.
