Sydney Sweeney captivated the 2025 Emmys red carpet with a striking fire-engine red gown by Oscar de la Renta, marking the start of awards season and her press tour for the upcoming film Christy. Departing from her usual casual style of denim and Miu Miu, she embraced a glamorous, vintage-inspired look that showcased her rising star power.
Details of Sweeney’s Elegant Oscar de la Renta Ensemble
The silk gown featured a corseted bodice styled like a bow and a draped sweetheart neckline, flowing into a dramatic sweeping train. Collaborating once again with her longtime stylist Molly Dickson, Sweeney completed the classic Hollywood look with a matching silk sash. Jewelry highlights included a chunky diamond necklace and statement rings and earrings crafted by Lorraine Schwartz, adding sparkle without overpowering the outfit.
Her styling team contributed to the polished appearance: hairstylist Glen Oropeza styled Sweeney’s honey blonde hair into a sleek blowout while makeup artist Melissa Hernandez applied subtle makeup with pale pink lips and rosy cheeks, allowing the gown to remain the focal point on the red carpet.
From Previous Emmy Appearances to This Year’s Milestone
Although not nominated this year, Sweeney took her Emmys debut as a presenter, marking a new chapter after her last red carpet moment in 2022 when she received two nominations for her supporting roles in Euphoria and The White Lotus. For that occasion, she wore another custom Oscar de la Renta gown—this one backless with silver floral embroidery and a dramatic bustle train—exuding modern princess elegance.
What’s Next for Sydney Sweeney After the Emmys
Following the ceremony, Sweeney is expected to focus on promoting Christy, where she portrays professional boxer Christy Martin, signaling a bold shift into more physically demanding roles. This upcoming press tour will likely draw significant attention, showcasing Sweeney’s versatility and continued growth as an actress.
