Jamie Lee Curtis Praises Sydney Sweeney's Dress

At Variety’s Power of Women event on Oct. 29, 2025, at the Beverly Hills Hotel, Sydney Sweeney turned heads in a largely sheer, form-fitting Christian Cowan x Elias Matso silver/crystal gown worn without a bra. Jamie Lee Curtis, who was also being honored, reacted playfully on the red carpet — pointing up and down at Sweeney’s look, hugging her and whispering in a clip that went viral. The moment drew mixed online reactions, with some calling the gown "unclassy" and many praising Sweeney's confidence and glamour. Both actresses were honored for philanthropic work: Curtis for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and Sweeney for the National Center on Domestic and Sexual Violence. Sweeney defended her natural appearance amid speculation, saying she has never had cosmetic procedures, is "absolutely terrified of needles," and plans to "age gracefully."
