Sydney Sweeney made a sharp and feminine fashion moment at the Toronto International Film Festival, arriving at the TIFF premiere of Christy in a pale-pink corset gown by Erdem that felt both modern and timeless.
The gown was elegantly structured — a soft satin corset hugged her waist before flowing into a floor-length skirt with a delicate train. A striking red bow detail at the hip added just the right pop of contrast and kept things from feeling too sugary.
Sweeney kept the rest of the look elegantly simple. Her hair fell in soft, old-Hollywood waves, and her makeup was all glow: beige eyeshadow with a pink-nude lip gloss and subtle coral blush. It was a look that felt effortlessly refined, the kind of style that reads chic without trying too hard.
Beyond the aesthetic, the look felt meaningful, a nod to her transformation for the role of Christy Martin. To portray the legendary female boxer, Sweeney underwent a rigorous physical journey, gaining over 30 pounds of muscle and enduring intensive training, including boxing and weightlifting sessions that left her with real bruises and even concussions all without stunt doubles. The strength behind the beauty of this gown turned the outfit into a subtle statement on resilience and dedication.
