Elle Fanning Goes ‘Retro’60s in Slingbacks, Flats and Boots on Set of Bob Dylan Biopic, ‘A Complete Unknown’

Elle Fanning was spotted stepping into character for her role in the upcoming Bob Dylan biopic, “A Complete Unknown,” on Tuesday. The actress plays Sylvie Russo, an artist and university student with whom Dylan (played by Timothée Chalamet) was romantically involved in the early ’60s before rising to fame.

Fanning was captured filming scenes in several different looks throughout the day. One outfit saw her in a simple black sleeveless top, dark denim jeans and black flats. She wore a casual loafer style with an apron toe and subtle detailing across the vamp.

In another shot, Fanning donned what appeared to be the same jeans paired with another black top and a brown embroidered jacket featuring a furry trim. On foot, she sported black leather boots that hit just below the knee and featured a slouchy silhouette.

The “Somewhere” star then slipped into a black pencil skirt, a striped button-up shirt with a printed cardigan on top, and black leather slingback pumps. The shoes featured a round pointed toe with a tiny bow detail on the vamp and delicate straps that fastened via a small buckle at the heel. A low, block heel with a subtle curve finished off the look.
