Sydney Sweeney may be an up-and-coming fashion icon, but she recently had a faux pas in Paris, at least according to fans.
On Thursday, the 26-year-old star of Anyone But You was seen in France’s capital dressed in a cream-colored outfit that drew mixed reactions.
The Euphoria actress sported a strapless corset adorned with a floral design, paired with matching short shorts and a coordinating shoulder bag (you can see the photos published by The Sun here).
To inject some color into her ensemble, she opted for sheer light blue socks and matching pumps. Her look was completed with accessories like gold-rimmed sunglasses, rings, and earrings.
That evening, Sydney was seen arriving at an Italian restaurant with her fiancé, Jonathan Davino, still in the same outfit but adding a loose-fitted jacket for extra warmth. Throughout both appearances, Sydney wore her blonde hair down, with some strands falling in front and others behind her shoulders. But despite her effort to showcase a unique style, not everyone appreciated her fashion sense.
Fans Didn’t Love Sydney’s Fashion-Forward Look
Photos of Sydney were shared in a pop culture-themed Reddit forum, where users didn’t hesitate to express their honest opinions about her outfit.
One user questioned, “Does this not fit? Or is this just ugly?” Another bluntly commented, “It’s ugly af.” A third critic remarked, “Major diaper vibes. So odd [for] such a gorgeous woman.” A different person added, “I’m so confused, like, she’s so gorgeous, does her stylist secretly hate her?!”
A fifth commenter noted, “That’s certainly a choice,” while another harshly concluded, “This is one of the worst outfits I’ve ever seen.”
Despite the criticism, Sydney continues to make bold fashion statements, demonstrating her confidence and unique sense of style. For now, the actress hasn’t responded to the backlash.
Widely considered a burgeoning style icon, Sydney is known for her roles in several high-profile television series and films. She first garnered widespread attention for her role as Emaline Addario in the Netflix series Everything Sucks! in 2018. However, it was her portrayal of Eden Spencer in The Handmaid’s Tale and Cassie Howard in HBO’s Euphoria that solidified her status as a rising star in Hollywood.
How Sydney Established Herself As A Style Icon
Beyond her acting prowess, Sydney has made a name for herself in the fashion world. She has been celebrated for her red carpet appearances, consistently making headlines with her bold and chic fashion choices. One of her standout fashion moments was at the 2021 Primetime Emmy Awards, where she wore a stunning custom-made gown by Miu Miu, turning heads and earning praise from fashion critics. She’s since become an ambassador for the company.
Sydney’s influence extends to major fashion campaigns and collaborations with high-end brands. She has been a brand ambassador for companies such as Guess and has worked with fashion powerhouses like Tory Burch.
In addition to her brand endorsements, Sydney has also graced the covers of numerous fashion magazines, including InStyle, Marie Claire, and Glamour. Her presence in the fashion industry is marked by her willingness to experiment with different styles and her ability to pull off both classic and contemporary looks with ease, even if not all her outfits are a hit with fans, as her latest look showed.
