Even when she’s not busy crusading around the halls of Euphoria high as bombshell Cassie, Sydney Sweeney seems to have found her own recent style niche in the Geek Chic look. On Tuesday in Paris, the actress pulled out her latest scholarly style that, of course, did not go without some very on-trend details (and at least one that’s an elevated version of gym class mainstays).
Sweeney attended Miu Miu’s post Fashion Week dinner wearing a collared shirtdress that was dripping with black sequins. Fittingly, like many fashion girls these days, Sweeney styled the piece sans pants, making the top into a tiny evening dress.
The majority of the garment was in a glitzy black fabric, aside from the white collar and wide button placket that traveled down the front. Sweeney is no stranger to the prep style—she had a fascination with Thom Browne’s skirt suits earlier this year—but the flashy composition of her Miu Miu look offered a more night-out approach to the look than we’ve seen from her in the past.
To round out the ensemble, Sweeney pulled her wavy blonde locks back with a can’t-miss-it black headband and added on a pair of white patent sandal heels from the Italian brand (which, judging by her earlier look, seem to be her new footwear go-to shape). Though the shirtdress was just about as sparkly as the Geek Chic look comes, the star took things in a different direction for Miu Miu’s runway show earlier that day.
There, she stepped out in a tiny tweed crop set that consisted of a long sleeve cardigan and cut-off shorts. And in a dresscode-worthy move, she exposed the very top of her white cotton boxers. Instead of a book bag, though, she carried a Miu Miu “Arcadie” mini and strapped on the same style of heels, this time, in black.
Although filming for season three of Euphoria has been put on hold until 2025, it’s quite evident that Sweeney is using her own personal style as a character study of sorts in the interim. So, until Cassie is back to her usual ways, we’ll gladly settle for Sweeney’s crusade of Geek Chic looks.
