Sydney Sweeney's Anti-Bridal Champagne Corset Dress Says the Best Revenge Is Living Well
The newly single star looked snatched in a strapless Wiederhoeft look at CinemaCon.


Sydney Sweeney may be fresh off a breakup with her former fiancé, but that didn't stop her from pulling what is essentially a wedding dress for her latest red carpet appearance. On April 1, the Anyone But You actor posed for the paparazzi at CinemaCon wearing a two-piece champagne satin corset set from Wiederhoeft's Spring 2025 RTW runway. Designer Jackson Wiederhoeft is something of a wunderkind in the alt-bridal space, and one of his many specialities are gorgeously made, inclusively sized corsets.
Styled by Molly Dickson, Sweeney's stunning drop-waist look seamlessly combined a waist-accentuating strapless bodice with exposed boning and a matching floor-length pencil skirt. For an added snatch in all the right places, her column skirt was cinched with a low-slung matching champagne satin belt and secured with silver hardware.

On the runway, Wiederhoeft accessorized the stunning gown with silver hoop earrings and pointy black patent pumps and two chrome chain necklaces. Here, Sweeney opted instead for V-cut taupe leather slingback heels from Jimmy Choo—a sculptural, mushroom-colored stiletto style dubbed the Isa 95.

Sweeney finished her post-breakup serve with a long mane of silky blonde waves, glossy beige-pink, and a dusting of just-pinched pink blush. Her nails were painted a nude-pink putty color in a revival of last year's mannequin manicure trend.

Honestly, wearing a wedding dress to your first big press event as a freshly liberated woman is something only a real-life rom-com character would think to do. It's giving Princess Diana's iconic revenge dress, quite frankly. Kudos to Sydney Sweeney for committing to the bit.
