Sydney Sweeney Stuns on the Red Carpet — and Jamie Lee Curtis Can’t Stop Complimenting Her ✨
At Variety’s 2025 Power of Women event in Los Angeles, Hollywood stars turned heads, but all eyes were on Sydney Sweeney. The Euphoria and Anyone But You actress rocked a daring, crystal-studded Christian Cowan x Elias Matso gown, going braless and letting her sleek blond bob frame her face. The look immediately drew the admiration of legendary actress Jamie Lee Curtis.
In an Entertainment Tonight clip, Curtis is seen giving Sweeney an appreciative once-over before wrapping her in a hug — a moment fans quickly called “iconic” on social media. Curtis, who earned the nickname “The Body” early in her career, has always emphasized that true recognition comes from who you are, not just your appearance — a sentiment that aligns with Sweeney’s own journey in Hollywood.
Sweeney, 28, has long faced pressure in the industry about her looks. She recalled being told at 16 to “fix her face” with Botox — advice she rejected.
“I’ve never gotten anything done. I’m absolutely terrified of needles. No tattoos. Nothing. I’m going to age gracefully,” Sweeney told reporters.
Online critics have often compared her teenage photos to her current look, claiming she’s had cosmetic work, to which Sweeney responds with humor and honesty:
“It’s really funny… I’m 12 in that photo. Of course, I’m going to look different. I have makeup on now, and I’m 15 years older.”
Despite controversies — from her bathwater soap line to an American Eagle campaign that sparked debate over “genes vs. jeans” — Sweeney has maintained her confidence and poise, demonstrating that being authentic and embracing your individuality is what makes her a standout star.
At the gala, Sweeney was honored as one of Variety’s cover stars, a testament to her rising influence and talent. Fans loved seeing the playful, heartfelt moment with Curtis, highlighting a cross-generational celebration of women in Hollywood.
💖 From bold fashion choices to standing firm in her natural beauty, Sydney Sweeney proves she’s not just a star — she’s a role model for authenticity, confidence, and fearless self-expression.
