Sydney Sweeney was both praised and shamed for her 2025 Met Gala look. Looking a million dollars in a cut-out, beaded gown on Monday, the Hollywood actress dropped jaws on the red carpet, but not everyone was out to send love. Displaying her ample curves in a plunging black gown while in NYC, Sydney donned a custom, floor-length number from Miu Miu, showcasing her hourglass figure and her statement fashion sense. Noting this year’s “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” theme and thinking that Sydney had missed, some fans called her dress choice dull, but others chose to body-shame The White Lotus star.

Scroll for all the photos. Highlighting her world-famous cleavage in a “boob” dress, per InStyle, Sydney drew the eye to her curves in a short-sleeved, skintight dress with a cinched waist.

Rocking a low-cut cut-out at the chest, the Armani Beauty ambassador left little to the imagination in her retro-inspired gown, one adorned with shimmering black crystals and boasting a fishtail train. Going feathery toward the bottom of her skirt, Sydney kept eyes glued to her silhouette, with a bejeweled chest clasp adding glamorous touches.

Injecting throwback vibes from her bun hairdo and its statement wet curl, Sydney channeled Old World glam, completing her look with a heavy face of matte makeup, large diamond earrings, and a long manicure. The superstar actress had referenced icon Kim Novak in a pre-Met Gala Instagram share, hinting that she’d be recreating Kim’s look. Sydney’s dress quickly went viral, and it would seem the response was so mixed, The Daily Mail even published an article on how disappointed fans were.

Comments left to this piece both defended Sydney Sweeney and further shamed her. “I think she looks stunning,” one fan said. Others agreed, thinking that Sydney had nailed her look.

Fortunately gaining more downvotes than upvotes, another user replied: “Ok, Sydney you look like a stuffed sausage.”

Sydney Sweeney has made headlines for addressing the volume of body-shaming remarks she receives on social media, although some might wonder how given that she’s often touted as having the perfect physique. In December 2024, she clapped back at the haters, sharing screenshots of the hurtful remarks she’d been subject to, but it was her topless roof snap on Instagram that proved the ultimate revenge.

Sydney went unzipped and braless in her eye-popping IG photo last winter, showcasing her bare chest in an open cardigan and jeans combo while posing from a rooftop. “Rain rain go away,” she captioned the NYC-set snap, one also promoting the Miu Miu designer she’s signed to.

This year’s Met Gala made waves for its looks and its celeb presence. The 2025 Gala also welcomed stars including mogul Kim Kardashian, singer Miley Cyrus, Oscar winner Halle Berry, and music star Lorde.
