Never afraid to court controversy with her sartorial choices, Sydney Sweeney has made headlines with a series of daring looks. At the Variety Power of Women Event in October 2025, she wore a floor-length sheer silver gown that became the most talked-about dress of the year. The dress, which draped strategically, sparked global discussion, and with a potential Oscars nomination buzz, censored images were covered with trophy emojis.
Just after Valentine's Day 2024, Sweeney wore a plunging red dress, accessorised with loose waves and a smoky eye. The look prompted her grandmother to praise her as having 'the best tits in Hollywood', and Sweeney proved she is not afraid to flaunt her figure.
For a screening of her boxing biopic Christy in Toronto, she opted for a tight, ribbed cream corset with a soft velvet trail, embracing a more traditional style. She later wore a classical long red dress with a corseted bodice, which she described as 'playing dress up', with her team creating a moodboard for each look.
At the Vanity Fair Oscars Party, Sweeney delivered a seductive look that sparked rumours of her being the next Bond girl. Addressing the speculation, she said, 'Depends on the script. I think I'd have more fun as James Bond.' Another Oscars party look saw her take inspiration from Elizabeth Hurley's iconic 'staple dress', using diamante buttons on a thigh-split gown.
At the LA premiere of her erotic thriller The Housemaid, Sweeney wore a bridal white 1950s-inspired dress, leading fans to label her the 'modern day Marilyn Monroe'. Before becoming a blonde bombshell, she rocked a brunette look at GQ magazine's red carpet, wearing a metallic corset with sculpted nipples, fully embracing a rock chic style.
