By now, we think everyone has caught Sydney Sweeney‘s jaw-dropping look at the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscars Party. But, if you thought she was giving off major Marilyn Monroe vibes, guess again! She was actually channeling the iconic Angelina Jolie on the red carpet!

The Anyone But You star rocked an old Hollywood glam vibe in a stunning cream-colored, satin Marc Bouwer gown. With a plunging neckline and a matching scarf gracefully draped over her arms, Sydney lit up the scene with timeless elegance.

But here’s the twist: this dress isn’t just any gown; it’s a piece of Oscar history! Originally donned by Angelina Jolie back in 2004, this dress made a spectacular comeback, thanks to the actress who just recently hosted SNL.

To top off her ensemble, the Madame Web alum sported a chic side-parted lob, a fresh cut she recently debuted. Her makeup radiated with shimmery eyeshadow and glossy lips, adding to her glow.

Completing the look, she dazzled in a layered necklace and earrings from Messika, adding that perfect finishing touch of sparkle.

Marc Bouwer himself took to Instagram to applaud Sweeney and her stylist for recreating the look into a modern version.

He captioned the post, "From the archives. Worn to the Oscars in 2004 by Angelina Jolie, and now on the beautiful @sydney_sweeney. On its 20th anniversary I couldn’t ask for a better revival. Thank you @mollyddickson for your impeccable styling & @paulmargolin for helping to make this happen!"
