Sydney Sweeney doesn’t just walk red carpets—she owns them. The Euphoria and White Lotus star reminded the fashion world exactly why she’s a red carpet force this week in New York City, stealing every flashbulb in sight at the premiere of her new thriller, Echo Valley. Her weapon of choice? A jaw-dropping, custom Vera Wang gown that didn’t whisper glamour—it roared it.
Crafted from opulent Italian silk, the crimson creation felt like a love letter to classic cinema. With its strapless, sweetheart neckline and sculpted corseted bodice, the gown was pure drama. The ruched peplum and voluminous skirt elevated the silhouette into ballgown territory, but it was Sweeney’s confidence and poise that turned the look into a moment worthy of the big screen.
Choosing to let the dress speak for itself, she kept her accessories minimal: a timeless pair of Kwiat diamond studs and effortlessly tousled blonde hair that cascaded over her shoulders. There was no need for embellishment. The message was clear—this was a power play.
Flanked by co-stars Julianne Moore and Kyle MacLachlan, Sweeney lit up the premiere not just with her fashion, but with an undeniable star presence. Moore brought her own brand of sophistication in a structured black gown, while MacLachlan exuded classic cool. Together, the trio set the tone for a film packed with emotional heat—and Sweeney, quite literally, led the charge in red.
But she wasn’t done yet.
Following the screening, the Madame Web actress gave us a second act worth waiting for. Still on theme, she swapped into another red-hot look—a fiery off-the-shoulder dress with a dramatic side slit and a similarly cinched waist. It was sultry, sculpted, and another home run styled by her go-to fashion collaborator, Molly Dickson.
And let’s not forget the Echo Valley press tour leading up to the premiere. Sweeney, embracing bold textures and rich tones, delivered a masterclass in modern power dressing. In one standout look, she channeled early-2000s fashion archives in a cocoa-toned pinstripe blazer dress from Jean Paul Gaultier’s Fall 2005 collection—complete with a built-in tie and sharp, asymmetrical tailoring. Paired with chocolate slingbacks and a suede Magda Butrym handbag, the look nailed nostalgic chic with a business edge.
In another, she shifted into a silk pant set from Oscar de la Renta, patterned in a brown-and-blue check. It was a Working Girl fantasy made fresh, polished, and editorial-worthy.
Through it all, Sweeney is proving herself not just as a red carpet darling, but as a style chameleon who knows how to dial up glamour when it counts—without losing the cool-girl edge she’s fast becoming known for. With Echo Valley stirring up buzz and her fashion profile rising, Sydney Sweeney isn’t just attending premieres—she’s leading them.
