Sydney Sweeney Dazzles in Daring Sheer Gown at Power of Women Event
Hollywood actress Sydney Sweeney turned heads this week at the Variety Power of Women 2025 ceremony, arriving on the red carpet in a bold, sheer silver gown that left little to the imagination.
A bold fashion statement
The 28-year-old star wore a figure-hugging, translucent number that accentuated her silhouette and embraced the daring side of red-carpet fashion. Alongside the dress, she debuted a fresh, shorter blonde hairstyle and opted for minimal jewellery, keeping the attention firmly on the gown.
Why was she there
Sweeney was being honoured at the event as one of Variety’s cover stars. On the red carpet, she posed with esteemed veterans like Jamie Lee Curtis and Sharon Stone, and also with boxer Christy Martin, whom Sweeney is set to portray in an upcoming biopic.
Speaking out: confidence and authenticity
In a candid interview tied to the event, Sweeney revealed how early in her career she received criticism about her appearance, including being told at age 16 to “fix my face.” She took the opportunity to clarify that she has never undergone plastic surgery, and addressed the label of “sex symbol” that often follows her. “I just feel good and I’m doing it for myself,” she said, “and I feel strong.”
Personal life front and centre
Adding to the buzz: Sweeney made a public next step in her personal life. She and music executive Scooter Braun were seen holding hands during a date in Los Angeles, making an official appearance as a couple. This adds a romantic headline to her already headline-grabbing outfit.
What it all means
Between the daring gown, the confident message of self-empowerment, and the personal milestone, Sweeney’s moment at the Power of Women event feels like more than just a fashion highlight. It’s a statement about image, agency, and transformation, showing that she’s fully owning her space in Hollywood, both on the red carpet and off.
