Dakota attended Vanity Fair’s Oscar Party, alongside her sister Elle Fanning, last night. Elle had been nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the Academy Awards for her beautiful work in “Sentimental Value”, but unfortunately lost it to actress Amy Madigan.

Dakota attended the premiere for “The Sun Never Sets” at the 2026 SXSW Festival, where she also posed for portrait sessions with the cast. Our gallery has been updated with images from the event, and two of the portrait sessions that have already been released.
The film has received great reviews so far, with IndieWire referring to it as “a masterful portrait of humanity’s inability to figure out what we actually want at any given time”. They’ve also praised Dakota’s acting, writing that she “[…] embodies a character that might otherwise come across as an annoying flip-flopper with so much intelligence and charisma that we have no choice but to empathize with her”.

Dakota attended Fendi’s Fall/Winter 2026/2027 Fashion Show in Milan yesterday, which was a part of Milan Fashion Week. She was also seemingly flooded by photographers outside of her hotel as she was leaving for the event, and we have more pictures of her there than at the actual show. In any case, our gallery has been updated with the images!
