Sydney Sweeney’s Met Gala debut didn’t go as smoothly as hoped. The Euphoria star wore a sparkling strapless black gown by Miu Miu with a silhouette inspired by 1950s icon Kim Novak—whom Sweeney is slated to portray in an upcoming biopic. But her choice of muse clashed with the event’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” which celebrates Black fashion history.
Social media quickly lit up with criticism, accusing Sweeney of ignoring the cultural relevance of the theme. Fashion experts chimed in, calling the look “gorgeous but tone-deaf.” While Sweeney hasn’t commented, sources close to her say she was unaware of the brewing backlash.
