Sydney Sweeney is no stranger to sparking a fashion conversation, and her latest look is likely to do just that. The “Euphoria” star, who set off a cultural firestorm earlier this year with her American Eagle denim campaign, was honored at Variety’s Power of Women event on Wednesday, Oct. 29, 2025. Sweeney, 28, wore a metallic silver Christian Cowan x Elias Matso dress with a semi-sheer finish and form-fit.
“I play a lot of very divisive characters, and I think that a lot of people think they know me, but they don’t,” Sweeney told Variety (Oct. 27, 2025). “So, when people think, ‘Ah, she’s a sex symbol,’ or ‘She’s leaning into that,’ I’m like, ‘No, I just feel good and I’m doing it for myself and I feel strong.'”
While promoting the sports biopic “Christy,” Sweeney debuted a bleach-blonde bob at AFI Fest on Oct. 25, 2025 (WWD styling confirmation). On Oct. 29, an Entertainment Tonight clip recorded Jamie Lee Curtis reacting on the carpet. Event photos and captions are available at People.
These highlight figures provide quick reference points about Sydney Sweeney’s recent appearances and preparation for her role in “Christy”.
