Sydney Sweeney’s Versace gown for the 2025 GQ Men of the Year party was everything one could hope for. The party took over the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles, and the dress code was straight from the 1990s. Sweeney, as one of the honorees at the event, obliged and chose a black velvet gown from Versace’s Fall 1995 collection.
Sydney Sweeney turns heads at GQ Men Of The Year party in vintage Versace
Sydney Sweeney’s Versace gown for the 2025 GQ Men of the Year (MOTY) party was straight from the Gianni era — an era that fans and fashion critics still talk about. The event marked 30 years of MOTY, and Sweeney’s outfit was perfect for the occasion. It was both sharp and a little unruly.
According to GQ, the “Euphoria” star’s gown at the event was a classic from the original runway. The outfit, which was once modeled by Eva Herzigova, was later worn by Naomi Campbell — and for the right reasons. It’s crushed velvet material with a deep sweetheart neckline and thick straps was cut to skim the body. The silhouette then dropped to the floor most elegantly.
Under the lights, the velvet picked up a soft sheen, so the gown stayed dramatic but without looking over-the-top. Sweeney kept the accessories light, letting her gown do the heavy lifting. Meanwhile, her beauty choices pushed the look into edgier territory: a short, choppy blonde bob and smudged black liner around the eyes, with nude lips.
To accessorize, the actor wore a thin black choker. The little hint of grunge and loads of glam were reminiscent of ’90s red carpet styling. Though not everyone will love the heavy velvet for a packed GQ Men of the Year party in LA, Sydney Sweeney’s Versace gown was a risk worth taking, because it made the look stand out. It felt like an original, not a costume, all while nodding to the iconic ’90s.
