Sydney Sweeney is embracing whatever the opposite of the natural look is, stepping out in London in a gown that evokes Star Wars or maybe Dune. Is she up for a sci-fi role I don’t know about? Anyway, space witch is a good look on her.
The Euphoria star was honoured in British GQ’s 2022 Men of the Year issue and attended the Men of the Year Awards in a one-sleeve high-neck black gown by LaQuan Smith that features a train (or maybe cape?) and a cut-out midriff. At the bodice, she wore a metallic, reflective bustier complete with mirror nipples.
Clearly going for a dramatic look, the currently brunette starlet opted for black nails, silver jewellery, and a twisty updo, rimming her eyes with black liner and metallic eye shadow.
Oh, duh, she’s the new Barbarella! That’s what this is about! Makes sense now.
Sci-fi aside, I’m reminded of her Euphoria costar Zendaya’s Tom Ford breastplate moment at the Critic’s Choice Awards in 2020.
Don’t these things… hurt? Or is there a special kind of sticky padding that Hollywood It girls use, and if so, can they please post about it?
Another place Sweeney’s look would have fit right in was at the 2016 Met Gala, where the theme was “Manus x Machina: Fashion in the Age of Technology” (also the night Taylor Swift met Tom Hiddleston…and Joe Alwyn…but that’s a TBT for another time). Like, tell me Sweeney isn’t channelling Gigi Hadid’s look from that carpet:
In March, Sydney Sweeney told us that she still gets nervous before every red carpet, explaining, “If I’m not feeling the carpet, I just tell myself it’s a picture, and it’ll be hopefully gone in 24 hours.
I get nervous before every carpet because I get nervous when I have to be Syd. I feel more confident when I’m different characters because people are judging the characters and not me.
I get nervous before every single one, so I kind of pretend to be different characters when I go onto these carpets and do it that way.”
This is understandable. But Syd, if you’re reading this, you and your stylist knocked it out of the park. Sexy, fashion-y, sophisticated!

She even inspired the Euphoria cast and crew to buy one, too.
