Sydney Sweeney faced backlash after saying she’s been « underestimated » while wearing a see-through dress at Variety’s Power Of Women event.
Sydney Sweeney is facing backlash after lamenting being misjudged — while wearing a dress that left little to the imagination.
The “Euphoria” star reflected on being “underestimated, to have people define you before you’ve had a chance to define yourself” during a speech at Variety’s Power Of Women event in Beverly Hills on Wednesday.
“I know what it feels like to have to prove that you deserve to be here, to be seen, to be taken seriously,” the actress told the audience, while rocking a daring transparent, curve-hugging silver gown by Christian Cowan.
Netizens took to Instagram to critique Sweeney’s choice of fashion at the soirée, where the “White Lotus” actress was an honoree.
“She’s literally at the Power of Women podium talking about being underestimated while wearing a dress that puts her body on display more than her message,” one person wrote.
“How are we supposed to focus on her words when the first thing being presented is her chest?” they added.
