Actress Sydney Sweeney made a striking entrance at the 2025 Variety Power of Women event on October 29 in Los Angeles, wearing a floor-length, silver, completely sheer gown by designer Christian Cowan.
The gown featured a sculptural, ruched bodice, a lace-up back, and was styled with minimal accessories—a dramatic honey-blonde bob, diamond drop earrings, and silver stilettos.
Beyond fashion, Sweeney used the moment to deliver a powerful message. She addressed the audience about dealing with being underestimated, the importance of believing in oneself, and the strength needed to rise repeatedly in the face of adversity. She dedicated her remarks to the women who inspire resilience in everyday life.
In a recent interview, she spoke about how early in her career she was criticised for her appearance and emphasized her decision to age naturally, decline any cosmetic enhancements, and remain confident in her own skin.
Her appearance and speech combined fashion and empowerment in a way that resonated across social media, with many fans calling her look “show-stopping” and praising her confident message.
