Elle Fanning and Michelle Pfeiffer had fans doing a double take as they stepped onto the red carpet together in Los Angeles, with the glamorous duo looking more like sisters than co-stars.

The actresses attended The Hollywood Reporter and Apple TV+'s Leading the Narrative: The Women of Apple TV+ event, where they celebrated their upcoming series Margo's Got Money Troubles.

Dressed in coordinating black ensembles, the pair perfectly complemented one another. Elle, 27, looked effortlessly elegant in a floor-length sleeveless gown with a square neckline, wearing her platinum blonde hair sleek and straight.

Michelle, 68, opted for understated sophistication in a relaxed black top paired with a shimmering textured midi skirt, sheer tights and pointed heels. The Scarface actress wore her signature blonde waves loose around her shoulders, with natural, glowing makeup completing the timeless look.

The pair smiled for photographers before sharing a sweet moment on the red carpet, with Michelle affectionately leaning in to kiss Elle on the cheek as the younger actress burst into laughter.

Later, the actresses took to the stage to discuss their highly anticipated Apple TV+ drama, which is based on Rufi Thorpe's bestselling 2024 novel.

Speaking about what drew her to the project, Elle explained that she immediately connected with the story's central character.

"I found Margo really inspiring," she said. "At every turn she picks the harder route but then faces this adversity and finds her power with optimism and positivity."

She continued: "I felt like they were people I've met before – people who could easily be judged at first glance. But in this series, it's a lot about second chances."

Created by acclaimed television writer David E. Kelley, who has been married to Michelle for more than three decades, Margo's Got Money Troubles blends heartfelt drama with sharp comedy.

The series follows Margo, a young single mother navigating unexpected challenges while trying to build a life for herself and her son, earning praise for its nuanced characters and emotional storytelling.

Michelle, who stars alongside Elle, appeared equally enthusiastic about bringing the novel's world to life, with the two actresses clearly sharing an easy chemistry both on stage and off.
