Elle Fanning is Jack Black‘s No. 1 fan.
The actress met Black at the Golden Globes in January, sharing selfies with him on Instagram with the caption, “Also THIS! Life made!” While on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Thursday, Dec. 12, Fanning was asked about the meetup.
“It has made my life,” the A Complete Unknown star, 26, reiterated, adding, “So, we have a group chat, my sister and all my girlfriends, and it’s basically dedicated to how hot Jack Black is. Like, he is our perfect man. Like, beyond.”

Of the Globes selfie moment, Fanning explained, “We were waiting for our cars at the valet at the same time, and my boyfriend was with me, he was like, ‘Go up to him, go up to him,’ and he convinced me to, and I did. Then my boyfriend yelled to him, he was like, ‘You’re her hall pass, by the way!’ “
Fanning, who is dating Rolling Stone CEO Gus Wenner, said with a laugh that Black, who was there with his wife Tanya Haden, “loved” the remark. “We were laughing,” she said. “I mean, I was turning bright red. I, like, still am.”

Fanning’s older sister who is also in that Jack Black–adoring group chat, The Perfect Couple actress Dakota, 30, previously spoke about her bond with Elle and how they differ “personality-wise.”

“She has her emotions on her sleeve, and people would say she’s a free spirit,” Dakota told The Cut in October. “I’m more of that stereotype of the older one who keeps everything together and is pragmatic. But the dynamics shift as you get older — there have been times when I’ve fallen apart and been wild and she’s picked me up.”

Despite the peachy hue of Pantone’s color of 2024, there was one shade that took over this year: butter yellow. The creamy color has popped up on runways for Loewe, Miu Miu, Sandy Liang, JW Anderson, Burberry, and more, while celebrities have embraced the delicate hue for seemingly every occasion.
Last night, Elle Fanning became the latest star to adopt the buttery color. The actor stepped out at the New York City premiere of her latest film, A Complete Unknown, wearing a chic custom design by Prada. Made up in the lemony hue of the season, her strapless satin dress featured an exaggerated waist, pleating around the midsection to create a bubbly column skirt. Fanning, with the help of longtime collaborator Samantha McMillen, rounded out her ensemble with a glittering diamond bracelet, as well as an impressive yellow sapphire necklace from Cartier.
Just as she had at the Los Angeles premiere of her film, Fanning leaned into a statement-making glam. She wore her blonde locks in a sleek low bun, adding a bit of drama to her hairstyle with a deep side part. Her chic look was completed with black winged eyeliner and an intense red lipstick, the latter of which contrasted her soft yellow gown.
With her latest look, the star of The Great follows in her older sister’s footsteps: Dakota Fanning co-signed the creamy yellow color earlier this year, joining Jennifer Lawrence, Selena Gomez, and Audrey Plaza in making the shade mainstream. It’s worth noting, however, that in a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Elle admitted to pulling inspiration (and sometimes outfits) from her sibling’s closet.
Elsewhere in the interview, Fanning named her older sister as her “built-in role model for life.”
“It’s just nice to know that there’s someone in your family who understands what you do,” Elle said of Dakota. “So there’s just a real mutual understanding there and love. And I mean, she’s my favorite person. I couldn’t live without her.”
