Sydney Sweeney Masters Modern Glamour in Jimmy Choo and Vintage Mugler at Hamptons Film Festival
Sydney Sweeney has never been one to shy away from a fashion risk—nor has she ever missed the mark. On Saturday, the Euphoria star brought her signature blend of contemporary edge and vintage romance to the 33rd Annual Hamptons International Film Festival, attending the U.S. premiere of Christy in a look that was both evocative and exquisitely detailed.
Sweeney stepped onto the East Hampton carpet in one of Jimmy Choo’s most elegant archival nods to date: the Lotta pump. A masterclass in textural nuance, the Lotta 100mm heels—retailing at $975—are crafted in Italy with ruched tulle layered delicately over soft leather. Designed with a sharply pointed toe, a translucent upper that gently wraps the foot, and a sleek stiletto heel just under four inches, the silhouette feels like a whisper of a shoe—light, almost ethereal, yet grounded in refined construction. In short: transparency, done right.
It was a deliberate and stylish choice that perfectly complemented her main sartorial statement: a vintage 1990s Thierry Mugler tutu dress set. The ensemble paired a tailored white jacket with the exaggerated femininity of an organza skirt, giving the moment a subtle theatricality Mugler was famous for. The architectural edge of the vintage piece, contrasted with the softness of the Choo pumps, spoke volumes about the kind of fashion fluency Sweeney continues to demonstrate on red carpets.
With soft waves cascading down her shoulders and jewelry kept to a thoughtful minimum, the look radiated a kind of modern-day screen siren energy—one foot in the archive, the other in now.
Sweeney’s affinity for Jimmy Choo is well-documented, and far from incidental. She fronted the brand’s Spring 2024 and Fall 2025 campaigns, embodying what creative director Sandra Choi describes as “glamour as a feeling.” Whether donning the structured Tylor loafer or the more delicate Scarlett 95 and Isa 80 pumps, Sweeney has redefined the brand’s image through a lens of quiet luxury and hyper-feminine cool.
Her choice of the Lotta for this particular event speaks to more than trend forecasting (though the sheer shoe movement has indeed swept the runways of Prada, Alaïa, and Gianvito Rossi). It’s about brand synergy and storytelling. This is a continued narrative—one that links the performer’s red carpet evolution with Jimmy Choo’s ongoing exploration of femininity, structure, and sensuality.
Christy, the film in question, chronicles the life of trailblazing boxer Christy Martin, navigating a male-dominated world with power and vulnerability—a narrative not lost on Sweeney, who arrived in a look that echoed the same dichotomy: strength in tailoring, delicacy in detail.
In today’s crowded celebrity fashion landscape, few navigate it with the clarity—and strategy—of Sydney Sweeney. And if fashion is a language, consider this appearance fluently spoken.
