Moments before her fainting spell, Elle looked glamorous as she posed for photos wearing a beige tulle dress that was adorned with red, pink and blue flowers.
The incident took place at the Chopard Trophee dinner just as Festival director Thierry Fremaux was introducing actor Francois Civil onstage, according toVariety.
Without warning, the actress suddenly collapsed and fell off her chair, the outlet reported.
Luckily, Elle’s sisterDakota Fanningwas seated next to her and was able to help her to her feet. The two were then escorted out, according toVariety.
A representative for Elle did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
Of course, this isn’t the first time Dakota, 25, has had her sister’s back.
Last month, Dakotastepped out to support her younger sisterat the premiere ofTeen Spirit, which stars Elle as a shy teenager who sets out to win a local singing competition as a way out of her small town.
Dakota and Elle have always been supportive of each others’ careers, which grew out of a mutual love for acting since childhood.
