Only days after revealing that women should “flaunt what they got,” Sydney Sweeney arrived at Variety’s Power of Women event in a sheer, barely-there dress that left little to the imagination – and jaws hitting the ground.
Sydney Sweeney has long been one of Hollywood’s most talked-about rising talents – and now, she’s one of the most talked-about fashion risk-takers.
The 28-year-old actor made waves with her revealing ensemble at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Oct. 29, just days after opening up to Variety about embracing her status as a “sex symbol,” while also pushing back on the scrutiny she’s faced throughout her career.
In the interview Sweeney told Variety that despite public perception, her confidence and image are for herself – not anyone else.
“I play a lot of very divisive characters, and I think that a lot of people think they know me, but they don’t. So, when people think, ‘Ah, she’s a sex symbol,’ or ‘She’s leaning into that,’ I’m like, ‘No, I just feel good and I’m doing it for myself and I feel strong,’” she said in the article, published Oct. 27. “And I hope that I can inspire other women to be confident and just flaunt what they got and feel good because you shouldn’t have to apologize or hide or cover up in any room.”
All natural look
The actor, who is portraying real-life boxing champion Christy Martin in the upcoming biopic Christy, also revealed she’s never had any cosmetic procedures and has no plans to. “I’ve never gotten anything done. I’m absolutely terrified of needles. No tattoos. Nothing. I’m going to age gracefully,” she said, adding that she’s often seen “comparison pictures” online.
