Why the sheer dress mattered

The gown was floor-length, body-hugging, completely see-through. She went braless and looked completely confident. Glittering silver fabric, ruched waist, the sleeve, every detail was sharp. Sweeney kept the rest simple: nude lips, rosy cheeks, pearl earrings. The new bob made her look fresh, different. She walked in like she owned it.

Sydney Sweeney’s speech

On stage, she got emotional. She spoke about women’s strength and rising even when no one believes in you. She dedicated part of her speech to Christy Martin, the boxer she plays. “Every one of us has our own fight,” she said. “Christy’s strength isn’t loud. It’s in getting up again and again.”

What’s next

Sweeney is prepping for Christy, out on November 7. She trained hard, gained 30lbs, and learned boxing for the film and there is already buzz about awards. Off-screen, she’s still experimenting with looks. At AFI Fest, she rocked a pink halter dress with lace, hair waved, and short bob. Changing, evolving, but always grabbing attention.
