Top 10 Best Sydney Sweeney Red Carpet Looks

Every year, GQ honors the best and brightest talent in the entertainment industry for its Men of the Year Awards, and in 2022, Sydney Sweeney made the list of honorees. The “Euphoria” star hit the UK red carpet in a custom LaQuan Smith sleek black maxi dress with an asymmetric long sleeve and mock turtleneck. The bodice cutout featured the look’s statement piece – an eye-catching silver breastplate. Makeup artist Melissa Hernandez matched the piece using metallic liner to give Sweeney a sultry smokey eye. Meanwhile, hair stylist Glen Coco Oropeza went with a simple messy bun to complement the overall edgy vibe she served.

At the NYC premiere of her 2023 film “Reality” at the Museum of Modern Art, star Sydney Sweeney donned a strapless black sheer Schiaparelli gown. Straight from the designer’s spring 2023 haute couture collection, the boldly baring dress was accented by tiered velvet, chiffon, and tulle panels with ruffles. We only got a glimpse of her matching black platform heels but they were sheer perfection underneath this floor-length gown. Sweeney’s blonde tousled tresses and the Fred Leighton jewels stayed light, allowing for the Morticia Addams-worthy dress to really take the spotlight.

Given her impeccable fashion, Sydney Sweeney is no stranger to photoshoots. In 2023, she graced the cover of Variety’s Power of Young Hollywood issue sporting a colorful vintage Guess bodysuit and fun beach waves. For the annual fundraiser event, she went back to black for a biker chic vibe because the covergirl’s got range. She posed on the red carpet wearing an Alexander McQueen leather bustier top with a plunging neckline and peplum hem, paired with a similar skirt sporting a slit and diagonal zipper detailing. Completing the head-to-toe edgy ensemble were metallic capped pointed pumps also by McQueen. Oropeza styled Sweeney’s locks in sleek waves, showing off her dazzling diamond hoops.

Over the years, Sydney Sweeney has rocked several swoon-worthy looks in Italy, from her custom Dolce & Gabbana green chiffon dress to a pink tulle Miu Miu midi. In 2023, the actress had two custom Giorgio Armani fits. For the designer’s “One Night in Venice” show, Sweeney channeled iconic Hollywood glam in a gorgeous black ball gown with floral embroidery and a draping shawl. At the Armani Beauty event, she donned a shimmering black dress with a studded red rose at the neck. To go with the “La Dolce Vita”-esque aesthetic, Hernandez gave Sweeney a classic winged eye and red lip, while nail artist Zola got creative with her French manicure by adding red gemstones.

In 2018, Sydney Sweeney attended her first Primetime Emmy Awards as a cast member of Hulu’s dystopian hit series “The Handmaid’s Tale.” She arrived wearing a beautiful Reem Acra pale pink lace dress with a strapless sweetheart neckline, exuding regal, feminine energy. Just a few years later, the “Euphoria” and “The White Lotus” star returned to the Emmys red carpet as a dual Emmy nominee in two different Outstanding Supporting Actress categories. For the momentous occasion, Sweeney turned out in a custom-made soft gray gown with silver floral embellishment and a dramatic bustle train designed by Oscar de la Renta co-creative director Fernando Garcia. The ceremony also took place on her 25th birthday. What a way to celebrate in style!

Sydney Sweeney proved her bombshell status early on and she continues to leave us stunned. She absolutely dominated the red carpet at the 73rd Berlin International Film Festival’s “Reality” premiere in a Miu Miu ruby red form-fitting spaghetti strap dress with top-to-bottom crystals and a modest train. Sweeney even called it the “dress of [her] dreams.” Accessorized with diamond bracelets, studs, and rings, the already amazing all-over sparkle was elevated under the lights, evoking major Jessica Rabbit vibes. She also slightly debuted darker locks and curtain bangs that perfectly framed her naturally glowing face, courtesy of her go-to hairstylist Glen Coco Oropeza.

While her steady rise to stardom began around 2019, 2022 was a great year to be Sydney Sweeney. Among award nominations and brand ambassadorships, she had the opportunity to work with American designer Tory Burch on a custom piece for her inaugural Met Gala. People were in awe as Sweeney made her debut in an angelic ivory gown with a corseted bodice. The newbie was all smiles when she ditched the full skirt on the Metropolitan Museum of Art steps, revealing a fun mini dress beneath. Her hair and makeup team gave her an unexpected smokey-eyed Cinderella look that fit the night’s “Gilded Glamour” theme. Sweeney’s bubbly and bright personality made it a truly magical evening in fashion.

By 2023, Sydney Sweeney had established herself as a style icon on and off the red carpet, meaning her Met Gala look was guaranteed to turn heads. The previous year saw the first-timer in luminous white but she went in a more colorful direction for her return, rocking a custom Miu Miu blush gown in a mermaid fit, featuring silver and gold embellishments. Adhering to the night’s theme honoring late designer Karl Lagerfeld, Sweeney embraced a more maximalist aesthetic with two oversized black chiffon bows, one above the hem and one atop her beautifully coiffed hair. Each intricate detail is fabulous on its own like Zola’s “crystal ombre” manicure. Put together, the entire look is to die for!

Sweeney’s role in “Anyone But You,” earned her a nod for Comedy Movie Star of the Year at the 2024 People’s Choice Awards, along with her co-star Glen Powell. Before she made her way to the stage to present the award for Female Country Artist, the actress sizzled on the teal carpet in a scarlet red Mônot column dress with a plunging halter top and knee-high slit up the back. The daring look made headlines, topping many a best-dressed list, and for good reason. Rounding out the red hot look, she added understated yet sparkling De Beers white gold and diamond jewelry, simple and sultry eye makeup, and a voluminous blowout.

During the “Anyone But You” press tour, Sydney Sweeney delivered one fierce look after another, including multiple sheer fits. At the premiere in Sydney, Australia, stylist Molly Dickson put her in a lovely Givenchy Grecian goddess ensemble. The ever-evolving fashionista is clearly a fan of see-through looks, because she wore yet another – this Miu Miu lavender silk column dress with a crystal-encrusted netted bodice – to Vanity Fair’s 2022 Oscar Party. The go-to designer later outfitted her in a separate crystal creation for the NYC premiere that had our rom-com leading lady “dripping in diamonds” like a chandelier. The cinched waist stunner is hands down one of Sweeney’s most jaw-dropping red carpet appearances. No notes!
