The Great (2020). Catherine the Great (Elle Fanning) is a young white woman in her 20s, with pale blonde hair done up in neat curls at the back of her head. She wears a pale grey-blue dress of the 18th century with elaborate sleeves, a deep neck-line, and large skirt. She is standing behind a large wooden table strewn with papers and framed by two large candelabras. Catherine is leant forwards with her palms planted on the table, assertive.
