"For years, Sydney Sweeney has been called the "modern-day Marilyn Monroe" thanks to her string of outfits that evoked the late, great actress. Apart from her general affinity for Old Hollywood glamour on red carpets, the Anyone But You star has worn several iterations of Monroe's infamous halter dress, as well as a cone brassiere (another Monroe fave) on a magazine cover."
"Styled by her go-to, Molly Dickson, Sweeney attended the 41st annual film fête at California's Arlington Theatre wearing a figure-hugging oat dress by designer Ceil Chapman. It featured an off-the-shoulder neckline with a deep, cleavage-baring plunge, elbow-length sleeves, and a cinched waist. The biggest design detail was its ruching throughout the bodice, sleeves, and ankle-grazing skirt. The elegant number was also accented by a bejeweled C-shaped brooch tacked onto the center."
Sydney Sweeney received a Virtuosos Award at the 2026 Santa Barbara International Film Festival. Styled by Molly Dickson, she wore a figure-hugging oat Ceil Chapman dress with an off-the-shoulder neckline, a deep cleavage-baring plunge, elbow-length sleeves, a cinched waist, and extensive ruching across the bodice, sleeves, and ankle-grazing skirt. The gown was accented with a bejeweled C-shaped brooch at the center. She paired the look with pointed-toe patent leather pumps in matching beige featuring a dainty bow. The dress recreated the outfit Marilyn Monroe wore on the April 1950 black-and-white LIFE Magazine cover. The look aligns with Sweeney's recurring Old Hollywood glamour references and Monroe homages.
