Sydney Sweeney Shines in Sheer Silver at Variety’s Power of Women — and Pays a Moving Tribute to a Fighter Who Inspired Her
Love it or hate it, Sydney Sweeney owned the moment. Her message about confidence and resilience landed powerfully — even if her outfit sparked more debate than applause.
That’s the beauty of modern femininity: power doesn’t always come wrapped in perfection. Sometimes it comes in sheer silver and controversy.
Sydney Sweeney knows how to make an entrance — and a statement.
The Euphoria and White Lotus star stunned in a dazzling, semi-sheer metallic silver gown by Christian Cowan at Variety’s 2025 Power of Women event in Beverly Hills on October 29. The 28-year-old actress shimmered under the lights, her figure-hugging dress catching every camera flash while radiating elegance and confidence.
But it wasn’t just Sydney’s look that captivated the room — it was her message.
💬 “I’m Doing It for Myself”
Sweeney has become something of a modern icon for self-expression and self-assurance, unapologetically blending sensuality with strength. “I play a lot of very divisive characters,” she told Variety earlier this week. “People think they know me — but they don’t. When they say, ‘She’s a sex symbol,’ I think, No. I just feel good and strong.”
Her words echoed through the crowd of powerful women, as she urged others to embrace confidence without apology. “I hope that I can inspire other women to flaunt what they’ve got and feel good — because you should never have to hide who you are.”
🥊 The Fighter Within
During the ceremony, Sweeney turned emotional as she paid tribute to Christy Martin, the legendary boxer she portrays in her upcoming biopic Christy, directed by David Michôd.
“I’m not a fighter in the ring,” she said, “but I recognized something of myself in Christy. I know what it feels like to be underestimated, to have people define you before you’ve had a chance to define yourself.”
Sweeney trained rigorously for the role — gaining 30 pounds of muscle and spending months in the gym to capture Martin’s physical and emotional strength.
💖 A Powerful Reunion
On the red carpet, Sydney and Christy reunited — the actress in her shimmering silver gown, and the boxing legend in a light gray suit that beautifully mirrored Sweeney’s look. The two smiled side by side, embodying resilience and mutual respect.
“Every one of us has our own fight,” Sweeney said during her speech. “Christy reminds us that strength doesn’t always look loud — sometimes it’s just getting back up again and again, no matter who’s watching.”
🌟 A Star Who Refuses to Be Defined
With her new platinum-blonde bob and her commanding presence, Sydney Sweeney continues to push boundaries — not just in fashion, but in the way she defines womanhood in Hollywood. From Euphoria’s raw vulnerability to Christy’s fearless determination, Sweeney’s power lies in her authenticity.
Her message was clear at Power of Women: confidence isn’t arrogance, vulnerability isn’t weakness, and surviving is just the beginning.
