Sydney Sweeney Steps Out At Venice Film Festival In Sheer Lace Top And Bermuda Shorts
The Venice Film Festival is fully underway, and some of today's biggest stars are touching down in the iconic city in order to promote their noteworthy movies.
The Euphoria star was spotted in Venice on September 2nd, the opening day of the 2026 Venice Film Festival, where she made a particularly eye-catching arrival while representing Armani Beauty. The actress, who has attended the festival several times in the past, embraced a very different take on summer dressing with a head-turning ensemble that showed plenty of skin.
For the outing before the festival's red carpet, Sydney wore a nude-colored, sheer lace halter top featuring a floral pattern, ruffled detailing, and a high neckline. The top had a diamond-shaped opening at the chest and mesh cutouts that exposed much of her torso. She and her team decided to pair it with low-rise, loose-fitting khaki Bermuda shorts cinched with a matching fabric belt. She finished the look with clear peep-toe heels, a small Fendi purse, rectangular sunglasses, and diamond stud earrings.
Social Media Users Slam Sydney's Outfit Online
While the Christy actress appeared confident in the revealing look, not everyone was impressed by the outfit. Fans quickly took to social media to weigh in on the unusual combination, with some criticizing the lace top and questioning the styling choices behind her Venice outfit.
Some commenters went as far as to joke that the top looked like a napkin, while others questioned why Sweeney's stylist would put her in the outfit at all. The reactions also led some fans to jokingly speculate that her stylist "doesn't like her," suggesting they felt the actress deserved a more flattering look for such a high-profile appearance.
"Her stylist really doesn't like her," commented an Instagram user, as another wrote, "Her stylist hates her."
"This looks like such an uncomfortable outfit to wear on a plane," a user joked.
"Why is she wearing a napkin?" one asked. "Ugh."
"Trashy as always," one user slammed, with another adding, "Yikes."
