Sydney Sweeney made a glam appearance at Met Gala 2025, styled in Miu Miu.
According to her, her outfit was a nod to Kim Novak, whom she plays in Colman Domingo’s directorial debut Scandalous!, about her relationship with Sammy Davis, Jr. in the 1950s.
The Euphoria star, 27, on Monday [May 5] stepped out at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City looking gorgeous and glamourous in her Miu Miu outfit.
Sweeney wore a curve-hugging, sparkling black gown designed with beaded fringe down the sleeves, bodice and skirt. The design also featured a daring cleavage-baring keyhole cutout adorned with a gold flower embellishment.
She teamed the look with glittering De Beers diamonds, including a 9-carat ring she designed and purchased herself, according to a release from the brand. She wore that ring on her right hand, which, given the brand’s famous “Right Hand Ring” campaign, seemed to possibly be in response to her recent split from former fiancé Jonathan Davino.
She shared a photo of actress Kim Novak dressed in a similar ensemble, revealing the inspiration behind her look before hitting the red carpet.
Speaking with Vogue on the red carpet she revealed that the look nods to her role in Colman Domingo’s directorial debut Scandalous! in which she will play Novak opposite David Jonsson who will play Sammy Davis Jr. The film will follow the “forbidden romance at the height of Hollywood’s Golden Age,” per Deadline; their relationship in the 1950s was doomed and ultimately ended when the studio head threatened Davis in order to break the two of them up.

“ I always feel that [Miu Miu] just brings such beautiful stories to every dress,” she said. “So this is actually paying homage to Kim Novak, and I’m doing a movie with Colman Domingo … so we wanted to really just bring that to life.”
Sydney wore her hair tightly slicked down and and wore makeup featuring dark eyeliner and a nude lip to complement the ensemble.
