Sydney Sweeney turned heads at the Los Angeles premiere for Season 3 of Euphoria on Tuesday, April 7, and the actress, who portrays Cassie Howard on the HBO series, looked truly angelic for the occasion.

The 28-year-old actress and entrepreneur wore a white Pierre Cardin mini dress from the archives, which cinched her waist beautifully. Sweeney’s dress, which was from the designer’s 2007 collection, featured an oversized bow detail at her navel, while the caped shoulders of the dress connected to the front of the gown.

While her dress was a statement-maker, Sweeney’s glam for the event at the TCL Chinese Theatre also deserves a second look. The actress worked with her go-to hairstylist, Glen “Coco” Oropeza, and makeup artist Melissa Hernandez, the latter of whom broke down Sweeney’s look on Instagram.

As it turns out, Sweeney’s glam all starts with an incredibly important skincare step: An anti-aging skincare tool that stimulates the body’s natural collagen production in just five minutes a day.

“To sculpt and prep Sydney’s skin ahead of the premiere, I used upLift 5 for five minutes at the start of glam,” Hernandez explained in a press statement. “It uses NASA-inspired, gentle, hands-free High Frequency Low Magnitude Vibration that work a bit deeper to help tone the skin and support facial structure over time. I love it because I can pop it in and keep moving through glam while it does its thing—the skin looks more lifted, more sculpted, and really fresh before makeup goes on.”

In addition to the tool—which the brand notes is “like a facial lift in five minutes per day without needles or surgery”—getting Hernandez’s stamp of approval, Emily in Paris actress Lily Collins has also worked the device into her pre-red carpet glam routine. With regular usage, the upLift 5 helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while toning skin from the inside out.

Clearly, it’s working for Sweeney, as Hernandez’s Instagram followers piped into the comments section of her April 8 Instagram post with plenty of praise over the star’s glam for the Euphoria premiere.

“Great job, she looked stunning!!! 🥰,” one fan wrote of Sweeney.

“She is the moment ❤️,” someone else declared.

“Stunning! So honored to be included in your kit! ❤️,” the official upLift 5 account added.
