Sydney Sweeney has nothing to hide.
Shortly after sitting down to discuss a myriad of topics, from plastic surgery to controversy, she stepped out onto the red carpet.
Her ensemble is flawless. Her look is bold and stunning.
And the gown itself is fully see-through.
Sydney Sweeney stuns in a sheer silver gown
Recently, Sydney Sweeney walked the red carpet at Variety‘s 2025 Power of Women event.
This was her most jaw-dropping red carpet look, ever.
Sweeney wore a floor-length Christian Cowan silver gown.
The ensemble hugged the actress’ phenomenal curves, accentuating the effect with a cinched waist.
The gown itself was silver, and completely sheer.
Obviously, Sweeney has worn less for the camera — but only when she is filming, from intimate scenes on Euphoria to (even) more traumatic moments in Immaculate.
But this is a bold and inspiring look for the red carpet. She looks incredible and she knows it.
Over the years, Sweeney’s body has made her a target for critics and for some deeply weird people.
To be blunt, she is extremely good-looking.
Some people simply refuse to be normal about her. It’s like something in their brains short-circuits when they see her, and not in the sensible, horny way. More like a vindictive lobotomy.
Her speech is, dare we say it, even more worthy of your attention
Speaking of being weird about Sydney Sweeney, she had more to share than her jaw-droppingly gorgeous ensemble on Wednesday night.
She addressed how she is too often “underestimated” in the entertainment industry.
“I know what it feels like … to have people define you before you’ve had a chance to define yourself,” she acknowledged to attendees.
“I know what it feels like to have to prove that you deserve to be here,” she continued.
Sweeney has had to prove herself repeatedly in order “to be seen, to be taken seriously.”
“Every one of us has our own fight,” Sweeney continued in her speech, which she shared to Instagram.
“Strength doesn’t look loud sometimes,” she suggested.
“And sometimes it’s about getting up again and again,” Sweeney emphasized, “no matter who is watching.”
She went on to conclude with advise to women to never “shrink themselves” for the benefit of others.
Sweeney encouraged women to embrace that their “power is already within.” That’s good! A little self-help in terms of vibes, but otherwise very good!
Her speech came with a dedication
By the way, Sydney Sweeney dedicated her powerful speech to boxer Christy Martin.
As we know, she portrayed the sports legend in the recent Christy biopic.
She also dedicated her speech to “all the women who inspire us in big and small ways.”
That is much more vague — but is also conveniently inclusive.
We’ll admit that many people probably never listened to the speech, and only paid attention to her mind-breakingly gorgeous red carpet look. We suspect that Sweeney knew this already.

Ariande Grande has an important message to send.
To fans. To followers. To pretty much everyone out there.
The actress and singer seemingly addressed ongoing body-shaming remarks late this past week by revisiting a note she shared amid the press tour for the first Wicked movie nearly one year ago.
“Resharing this from last year,” Grande wrote in a post on her Instagram Stories November 29, “as a loving reminder to all.”
Along with these words, the 32-year old posted numerous clips from a 2024 interview in which she explained how she deals with unsolicited commentary about her appearance.
“I’ve been a specimen in a Petri dish, really, since I was 16 or 17, you know?” Grande begins in the footage.
“So I have heard it all. I heard every version of it, of what’s wrong with me. And then you fix it, and then it’s wrong for different reasons — from what you’re wearing, to your body, to your face, to your everything.”
The Wicked: For Good superstar went on to say that she feels as though saying things about other people’s bodies is normalized in our culture… despite the fact that it can cause real harm.
“There’s a comfortability that we shouldn’t have at all — commenting on other’s looks, [their] appearance, what [we] think is going on behind the scenes or [their] health … It’s like, that is something that is uncomfortable and horrible, no matter where it’s happening, no matter the scale that it’s happening on,” she said in this interview.
Later in the interview, the artist — who has often had to blast body-shamers — said she thinks the phenomenon is “dangerous,” while also stating that she feels “lucky” to have a strong support system behind her amid her rise to stardom.
“I think that I’m really lucky to have the support system that I have, and to just know and trust that I’m beautiful, you know?” Grande said.
“But I do know what the pressure of that noise feels like. It’s been a resident in my life since I was 17. And I just don’t invite it in anymore. It’s not welcome … I just don’t invite it in anymore … I have work to do. I have a life to live. I have friends to love on. I have so much love.”
Grande may be done with music forever. Or at least a VERY long time.
She recently admitted that dealing with the pressures that come with her status has presented challenges for her in the past.
“Until quite recently, it was really hard for me to navigate,” Ariana told The New York Times in an interview published Nov. 5. “And I think it stripped a lot of joy out of this for me.”
In April 2023, meanwhile, Grande posted a rare, three-minute confessional on TikTok in which she addressed comments about her body.
“There are many different ways to look healthy and beautiful. And personally, for me, the body that you’ve been comparing my current body to was the unhealthiest version of my body,” she said back then.
“I was on a lot of antidepressants and drinking on them and eating poorly and at the lowest point of my life when I looked the way you consider my healthy, but that, in fact, wasn’t my healthy…
“The second thing is you never know what someone is going through, so even if you’re coming from a loving place or a caring place, that person probably is working on it or has a support system that they’re working on it with. You never know, so be gentle with each other and yourselves.”

It’s been ten weeks since the shooting death of Charlie Kirk, and for the loved ones of the late podcast host, the pain likely feels just as fresh as it did on day one.
Charlie’s widow, Erika Kirk, has been quite open about her grieving process, hosting podcasts, meeting with politicians, and addressing large crowds on the topic of her husband and his legacy.
Charlie leaves behind two children who might be too young to understand the permanence and circumstances of his death, but who are certainly not too young to miss their father.
And that truth was underscored by a video that Erika shared on Instagram recently:
Footage of Charlie Kirk’s daughter leaves fans devastated
The clip, presumably shot by Erika, shows the Kirks’ daughter, Gigi, reacting to signs featuring photos of her father.
“Her…saying your name, as she witnesses all you’ve built and continue to build, proves that love never dies, just changes form. It breathes through our children. This is her legacy also,” Erika captioned the pic.
“And as she grows up and continues to say your name, I’ll be reminding her that each time Heaven leans in to listen,” she continued, adding:
“I love you Charlie baby, I’m so proud of you. We all are so proud of you.”
Not surprisingly, Erika’s followers were deeply moved by the post, and many of them shared words of support in the comments:
“Oh, my Mama heart hurts for you and prays understanding over her,” one commenter wrote.
“Absolutely heartbroken. What a sweet and precious little girl,” another added.
“This is at once beautiful & heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing this intimate moment with us,” a third chimed in.
Erika Kirk introduces J.D. Vance at Ole Miss event
Erika has stayed busy in the wake of her husband’s murder, and she recently introduced Vice President J.D. Vance at a speaking engagement at Ole Miss.
“When our team asked my dear friend, Vice President JD Vance, to speak today, I really prayed on it because, obviously, it’s a very emotional, emotional day,” Kirk told an arena packed with students, adding:
“But I could just hear Charlie in my heart. I could just hear him say, ‘Go reclaim that territory, babe.’
“The battle’s already won. God’s love conquers. And that’s why I’m here today,” she concluded.
Footage from the event will reportedly be featured in an upcoming Fox News documentary about the Kirks.
