Syndey Sweeney's latest appearance at the Americana premiere
The Euphoria star made everyone's heads turn with her elegant appearance at the premiere in Los Angeles alongside Halsey and Simon Rex. For the red carpet look, Sydney was dressed up in a champagne-colored gown with a corseted and tulle skirt. She completed the look with a funky lemon coloured headband.
Halsey donned a blue hairdo and exuded swag with jeans, a turtle-neck top, and threads on the sides. Netizens soon took social media platforms to give their views, and one user wrote, "Sydney Sweeney is brave and deserves a lot of credit for attending this red carpet after all the prudish and bigoted outrage".
