Sydney Sweeney Channels Julia Roberts in a Glittering My Best Friend’s Wedding-Inspired Gown
From Euphoria to the GLAAD Media Awards red carpet, Sydney Sweeney continues to cement her status as a true style icon. The 26-year-old actress arrived at the 2024 ceremony in a dazzling custom Miu Miu gown that paid glamorous homage to one of her favorite romantic comedy films, My Best Friend’s Wedding.
Sweeney shimmered in slinky satin, her silver dress featuring a showstopping crystal-embellished bustier reminiscent of the iconic lavender bridesmaid look donned by Julia Roberts in the 1997 classic. While Roberts’ character Julianne Potter rocked a halter-style beaded neckline, Sweeney’s modern interpretation featured dazzling rhinestone straps that seductively draped off her shoulders.
