Sydney Sweeney, star of Euphoria and The White Lotus, restorer of vintage cars, and the It girl of young Hollywood, made her Met Gala debut on May 2, and she looked characteristically gorgeous.
In keeping with the evening’s Gilded Glamour theme, Sweeney wore a corseted gown with a full skirt, though she added a bit of edge with dark eyeliner. The white beautifully lights up Sweeney’s once again blonde hair, and she looks so happy.
Her outfit is courtesy of Tory Burch, an American designer if there ever was one. The Met Gala red carpet is often a showcase for designers who work closely with stars they feel best represent their brand. Yep, we can totally see Sweeney as a Tory Burch girl!
For her hair, Sydney Sweeney worked with stylist Bobby Eliot, who used John Frieda hair-care products.
Though she looked superconfident, Sweeney might have been feeling some secret jitters. As she told us in March, she still gets nervous being herself at big events. “If I’m not feeling the carpet, I just tell myself it’s a picture and it’ll be hopefully gone in 24 hours,” she said. “I get nervous before every carpet because I get nervous when I have to be Syd. I feel more confident when I’m different characters, because people are judging the characters and not me…so I kind of pretend to be different characters when I go onto these carpets and do it that way.”
So, what was that night’s character? Uh, girl who got stuck in traffic! Sweeney and her bustier got stuck in traffic on the way to the Met museum. Fashionably late, of course.

If it feels like it was just the Met Gala, that’s because it kind of was. After being scrapped during the pandemic, the big fashion fundraiser came back in September 2021 (it is, traditionally, the first Monday in May, of course), to mixed results. The theme was “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion,” and Kim Kardashian looked like a shadow. This year’s theme was “In America: An Anthology of Fashion,” and attendees were instructed to dress in “gilded glamour, white tie,” per Vogue.
White tie, white gown, memo received.
