Elle Fanning and McKenna Grace stunned at the Sunrise on the Reaping premiere

The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping isn’t out in the US until November 20, which is such a letdown to me. We’ve been seeing McKenna Grace out so much that I assumed it would come out the first week in November. McKenna, 20, has looked amazing during this press tour. The last time we checked in with her she was wearing a recreation of Katniss’s wedding dress from Catching Fire.

There was so much great fashion at last night’s London fan screening. McKenna, who plays lead Maysilee Donner, wore an incredible Almée Couture hand-beaded gown featuring a mountain scene and floral embellishments. The scene looks like a Van Gogh. Red Carpet Fashion Awards points out that the dress is just like the poster for the film, but that this wasn’t custom made! This gown was already part of the collection and was expertly sourced by McKenna’s stylist, Molly Dickson. McKenna’s makeup, hair and jewelry are perfection.

Elle Fanning channeled her Effie Trinket character in a pink Robert Wun gown with a tulle ballerina skirt and dropped sculpted bodice. The mirrored ballerina headpiece is part of the original look, and this is also a runway dress. Red Carpet Fashion Awards has a photo of it on a model. Elle can work any look and I love how fun this is. My only complaint is that the hat makes her look like a 60s stewardess.

Whitney Peak, 23, plays Haymitch Abernathy’s girlfriend, Lenore Dove Baird. She was in a Chanel gown featuring a stretchy patched top and a multicolor chiffon skirt. This is lovely. I’m not familiar with her, but she’s been in the Gossip Girl revival, Hocus Pocus 2 and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

Glenn Close (chaperone Drusilla Sickle) was in Simone Rocha. She just had a hip replacement.

Bonus Kieran Culkin (host Caesar Flickerman). Does he look high or does he always look like that?

Here’s a photo of the younger cast together. Joseph Zada (Haymitch) was in a Gucci suit.

    I need Mckenna Grace’s gown in my life *now*, please and thank you.

    It would compliment Mr N’s Starry Night socks perfectly.

    Not that I have any events planned for which the dress might be appropriate — but… always be prepared, right?

    Elle Fanning’s dress suits her so much, even if it’s much too pink for my taste. But she can pull it off.

  2. SIde Eye says:

    McKenna’s gown is exquisite! Perfect fit and colour. Omg it’s gorgeous. She looks incredible.

    Re-reading the book now just so I can be disappointed with the movie! 😂 will wait for it to stream.. as far as the fashions… they fit the characters and story. But that horrible green on Glenn Close…🤮🤢

  4. M says:

    The dress is good til you get to the “soil” part. It could be a richer brown instead of that dirty sewer water color. I like Elle’s dress, but the headpiece is just too silly.

  5. KC2 says:

    I wasn’t going to see it then saw there trailer. Glenn Close is frightening in the best way.

  6. Chaine says:

    I love all of it, even Glenn Close in that wacky upside down look

  7. Bqm says:

    McKenna is so grown up! I still picture has as the little girl in Gifted with Chris Evans. And if you want a smile go watch her Wired video with Chris. Added bonus for his confusion as some of these Google queries were obviously meant for the British Chris Evans.

    I don’t like the double bosom effect on Elle’s dress. It kinda freaks me out. The color is lovely.
