A masterclass in layering, Sweeney wore a long-sleeved gray sweater with a quasi-ruffled hem, which she paired with a vintage-inspired black leather jacket with a built-in furry dark chocolate vest, giving it the illusion of layering. As for the bottom half of her ensemble, she wore an itty-bitty brown miniskirt with a slit. Sweeney has a particular affinity for a Miu Miu mini, rocking various iterations while out.

"I was honestly surprised by the reaction," Sweeney explained. "I did it because I love the jeans and love the brand. I don't support the views some people chose to connect to the campaign. Many have assigned motives and labels to me that just aren't true."

On Sunday, Nov. 30, the Euphoria star shared snaps from a recent themed Friendsgiving celebration. And the motif? Shrek. Everyone got the memo and showed up dressed as a character from the franchise, repping everyone from Fiona to the Gingerbread Man. Sweeney, however, gifted with the magic touch of making anything - including a fictional, swampy ogre-led crew - look spicy, used her Midas touch on her chosen character in a teeny, tiny bodysuit.

You kissed me during an SNL sketch and then apologized afterwards for opening your mouth too much. Be honest, did you do that on purpose?

The original Christy Martin script was incredible. Life changing. I was attached to play Cherry. Everyone had experience with the core material. Most of us were actually gay. It's part of why I stayed in acting. Rose then decried Sweeney and her team's statements about the film's box office. Rose claims Team Sweeney said they made the movie for "the people," meaning gay people, but that "None of 'the people' want to see someone who hates them, parading around pretending to be us.

Truly the tabloids and journalists just created it and kept going. I think people just truly saw a really beautiful pairing.

Although the actress didn't elaborate on her connection with the topic, Sweeney went on to share why she relates to Martin's career. For Christy, the ring was her escape. It's almost like you're a caged animal inside this ring, but it's a place where she feels the most free, she said. I am definitely a caged animal in a sense. Acting is my ring. It's where I feel freedom. The set is where everything else goes quiet.

There's a criminally underrated song on an Ariana Grande album circa 2019 that begins by paraphrasing what Neil Armstrong said after first touching down on the moon: "One small step for woman, one giant leap for woman-kind." For some reason, a version of the phrase was my first thought upon seeing photos of Sydney Sweeney's space-themed birthday party. Allow me to paraphrase the paraphrased: One small party for woman, on giant loss for humankind.

Over the weekend, as the music industry celebrated talent at the MTV VMAs and the fashion world has been gearing up for NYFW, some of Hollywood's finest flew to Canada to attend the Toronto International Film Festival, including Natalie Portman, Jodie Foster, and Cillian Murphy. While several attendees tore it up on the red carpet, it was Sydney Sweeney's bustier numbers (yes, plural) that now live in my mind rent-free.

At the core, Labubu and Sydney Sweeney aren't radically new; they're evolutions of age-old marketing patterns. History is repeating itself. Labubu mirrors the Beanie Babies craze of the '90s: collectible, emotionally charged, and driven by hype cycles.

"Even after working on a hit HBO show, which did allow her to buy a house in LA, money was tight. They don't pay actors like they used to, and with streamers, you no longer get residuals."
