Sydney Sweeney dazzled in pink as she embraced a feminine aesthetic during her promotional tour for the boxing biopic “Christy.” The actress made an eye-catching appearance in a soft pink gown by Alexander McQueen at the movie’s premiere during the BFI London Film Festival.
Expertly styled by Molly Dickson, the gown was perfectly adapted to Sweeney’s 5’3″ frame. It featured a sequin-adorned lace neckline and a flowing skirt with a ruffled hem, complementing her stature.
The dress boasted a corseted bodice made of dusty pink satin with intricate boning and a ruched bust detail. The lace skirt gathered at the back, adding volume and fluidity to her red carpet walk.
This marks the second time Sweeney has chosen a pale pink ensemble for a premiere. She previously wore a custom Erdem gown in a similar hue at the Toronto International Film Festival’s debut of “Christy” earlier in September.
This is the star’s second pale pink red carpet look; she wore a custom Erdem gown in a similar shade for the premiere of “Christy” at the Toronto International Film Festival in early September.
Earlier this month, she opted for a vintage Thierry Mugler tutu dress that was more suitable for a ballet stage than a boxing ring. Worn with a cropped suit jacket with curly lapels, the ’90s-era outfit featured a plunging neckline and a basque waist bustier. She added a white mini skirt under the sheer, structured tutu, which had bows on both hips.
The actress’ London look is an interesting combination of her previous red carpet ensembles. Corsets continue to be a mainstay in her red carpet wardrobe, with her enviable bustline a focal point. However, her well-toned legs are increasingly visible, whether via short hemlines or sheer skirts.
Notably, Sweeney gained 30 pounds of muscle for the film in just three and a half months. “I weight-trained in the morning for an hour, kickboxed midday for about two hours, and then weight-trained again at night for an hour,” she told W in a special summer issue.
No wonder she’s excited to show off her lean legs.
Sweeney channeled a different superstar for her 28th birthday bash last month. She wore a star-studded silver mini dress from The Blonds’ Spring/Summer 2009 collection. Britney Spears first wore this out-of-this-world, star-studded design during her Circus album era nearly two decades ago.
Whomever Sweeney decides to portray next, we’re sure she’ll do it with her signature snatched style. And possibly in pink, too.
