Actress Sydney Sweeney commanded attention on the Met Gala red carpet Monday evening, arriving unaccompanied in a striking ensemble that paid tribute to Hollywood icon Kim Novak.
Sweeney’s appearance follows recent reports regarding the end of her engagement to longtime partner Jonathan Davino. The couple, who began dating in 2018 and became engaged in 2022, reportedly parted ways earlier this year.
For fashion’s premier night, the star chose a dramatic black floor-length gown by Miu Miu. The dress featured intricate sequin detailing, a prominent gold brooch, and a bold cutout at the chest. Her beauty look complemented the vintage-inspired outfit, with her blonde hair swept into a refined low bun, face-framing curls, and a glamorous makeup palette featuring defined black eyeliner.
On the carpet, Sweeney explained the inspiration behind her look, noting her ongoing creative partnership with Miu Miu. She connected the design to a current film project, stating the collaborative goal was to bring a “beautiful story” to life through the garment.
Professionally, Sweeney is preparing to return to her acclaimed role as Cassie Howard in the upcoming third season of the HBO series Euphoria. In previous interviews, the actress has expressed enthusiasm about revisiting the complex character, describing the experience as thrilling and noting she welcomes the narrative’s unpredictable direction. The new season is anticipated for release next year.
While her personal life has drawn public interest, Sweeney’s focused presence at the gala underscored a night dedicated to fashion and her continued professional endeavors.
