Sydney Sweeney has been giving other 2025 press tour looks a run for their money the last few weeks, often turning the red carpet into her own personal runway.

In case you’ve missed it, the Euphoria star has been on the road promoting her latest film, Christy, for which she’s already won several awards, including the Achievement in Acting Award at the 2025 Hamptons International Film Festival and the Spotlight Award from the SCAD Savannah Film Festival. This week, she was also honored at Variety’s 2025 Power of Women event.

For each and every outing, Sweeney has upped her style game, rocking looks that range from sultry-chic to ultra-feminine and sweet. With this in mind, let’s take a look back at a few of our personal favorites—oh, and a massive shoutout to her longtime stylist Molly Dickson, of course!

2025 Toronto International Film Festival

Kicking things off with this dreamy ERDEM number, the actress was a vision in this fitted corset gown. According to the designer, the piece was “bespoke,” crafted in a delicate pastel pink with a “hand-draped skirt.” The boning in the corset helped to cinch Sweeney for the perfect hourglass silhouette, while her cascading blonde locks sat in soft waves on her bare shoulders.

Switching things up with this precious vintage Thierry Mugler mini, Sweeney dazzled at the 2025 Hamptons International Film Festival, where she also took home the Achievement in Acting Award. The crisp white blazer sitting atop the spiky tutu underskirt was a fun “business on the top, party on the bottom” aesthetic, made sweeter by the star’s decision to switch out her white pumps for matching sneakers halfway through the evening.

2025 BFI London Film Festival

It’s impossible not to love a custom piece crafted by icon Alexander McQueen, and this interesting ensemble is no exception. The pastel pink shade added a feminine touch to the structured chaos of the unique gown, with delicate lace details on the shoulders matching the dramatic skirt. The silk bodice in the middle broke up the two components with a welcome sheen, creating a balanced mix of textures that was classic McQueen.

5th Annual Academy Museum Gala

Mixing it up from the pastels, Sweeney took a sultry turn in this custom Armani Privè gown, which she donned for her night out at the Academy Museum Gala. The high neckline of the all-black ensemble created an elegant aura, while the keyhole cut-out provided a flirty pop of skin. The look was tied together by her sparkling, bejeweled earrings, which took center stage thanks to the decision to tie her blonde tresses back into a messy bun.

2025 AFI Fest

Switching back to her pastel pink theme, Sweeney sported another lace ensemble for her visit to the 2025 AFI Fest—but this time, she fully embraced the fabric for an all-lace extravaganza. The feminine-forward Miu Miu piece was a balletcore dream, with a stylish halter-neck cut, a ballroom-style skirt and an adorable matching belt. This was also the red carpet where Sweeney debuted what would become the chop heard ‘round pop culture, as the actress cut her long tresses into a spunky, blunt bob.

The actress then took her talents to the 28th SCAD Savannah Film Festival, where she wore a Y2K-inspired mini dress from Mimchik, featuring another belt (we’re noticing a theme here!). Sweeney combined the designer duds with a sheer pair of brown tights and a set of cocoa knee-high boots for a look that absolutely screamed autumn-ready. She went on to win the Spotlight Award at the event for her role in the film—and she also won the only slightly less-prestigious honor of being our personal favorite use of houndstooth this season.

And it turned out that the 28th SCAD Savannah Film Festival was an occasion so special, it called for an outfit change! Sweeney also rocked this white Stella McCartney mini dress for the showcase, accessorizing with matching pumps. The corset-style bodice created a beautiful shape, while the sheer draping overlay gave off an angelic, ethereal vibe, which combined the glamour of Old Hollywood with an unexpected modern flair.

Variety’s 2025 Power of Women

Last but absolutely nowhere near least on our list (like, how could it be?!) was the actress’s daring Christian Cowan gown, which she just wore on to Variety’s 2025 Power of Women event on Oct. 29. This was easily Sweeney’s most daring look to date—and not just for this press tour, but perhaps of all time. From the chainmail-style shine to the sheer fabric to the snug silhouette, you can absolutely count on seeing this red carpet moment popping up on every fashion lover’s end-of-2025 favorites list.

Christy hits theaters nationwide beginning Nov. 7, which means Sweeney probably still has a few incredible red carpet looks up her (likely sheer) sleeves. Needless to say, we can’t wait to see what she has in store next!
