Sydney Sweeney wore an outfit so undeniably reflective of her personal style [1] when she celebrated her Variety Power of Young Hollywood cover at the publication's party in Hollywood on August 10. While the photoshoot saw her in bright, '90s-inspired cutout swimwear and platforms, Sweeney's red carpet look, coordinated by Molly Dickson [2], was a step in an edgier direction. Sweeney sported a plunging, black leather bustier top and skirt from Alexander McQueen. The corset boasted structural peplum at the hem, and the skirt featured a dramatic leg slit emphasised by a zipper that ran diagonally from the butt to the upper thigh. Finished with metallic cap-toe pumps, a diamond-encrusted chunky silver hoop, and rings from Lady Grey, Mara Paris, and Ralph Masri, the asymmetrical look was head-turning, to say the least.
All that being said, hair stylist Glen Oropeza [3] balanced out the toughness with elegant, glossy waves; Melissa Hernandez [4] employed silver eyeshadow and sweeping cat-eye liner; and Zola Ganzorigt [5] painted on a cool, textured iridescent blue manicure [6]. Sweeney looked every bit the star as she posed for photos with a copy of her own magazine.
"@variety thank you for including me in the class of 2023, it was such a great night! and also i just wanna thank my incredible team who've been by my side since day one, and my fellow cast mates who are like family now :) got so much love and appreciation for all of you," she wrote on Instagram [7] alongside a carousel of eight shots from the evening that include fellow actors Alexandra Shipp (who rocked a tailored Vivienne Westwood pinstripe set [8]), and Dermot Mulroney. Ahead, see every angle of her special night.
