Elle Fanning stuns Hunger Games screening in ballet music box-inspired headpiece

Actress Elle Fanning took ballet-core to the next level as she stunned the Hunger Games screening wearing a music-box inspired headpiece.

The 28-year-old actress stars as fashion student Effie Trinket in the sixth film of the dystopian franchise, The Hunger Games: Sunrise On the Reaping.

Fanning paid homage to her character, who was made famous by Elizabeth Banks in the original trilogy and known for her extravagant costumes, grandiose hair and bright coloured make-up.

The actress wore a light pink ballet-inspired gown with a flared ruffled skirt – imitating a tutu- sinched into a strapless corset bodice.

The dress also featured a moulded breastplate and was completed with a matching pink headpiece which had a rotating ballerina figurine positioned in front of a mirror – as if a music box had just been opened.

Meanwhile, McKenna Grace, who plays district twelve tribute Maysilee Donner, wore a landscape-inspired embroidered gown.

The dress mimicked the arena in the film and featured a bright blue sky, mountain terrain, sweeping meadow completed with brightly-coloured flowers draping to the bottom of the gown.

Meanwhile, Glenn Close, who stars as the cruel chaperone Drusilla Sickle, wore a satin green gown with a sinch bow detail creating a layered effect.

The look was completed with long black gloves with her hair curled up in a one-side hairdo.

The evening also saw Kieran Culkin – who plays a young Caeser Flickerman – wear a blue shirt with an embroidered brown blazer.

The upcoming film, directed by Francis Lawrence, is based on the novel series penned by Suzanne Collins.

Hunger Games: Sunrise On The Reaping will be out in cinemas from November 20.
