Sydney Sweeney Heats Up GQ Men of the Year Party in Slinky Black Versace

Sydney Sweeney brought pure rock and roll energy to the GQ Men of the Year party, stepping onto the Los Angeles red carpet in a look that had every camera locked on her. The 28-year-old actress chose a slinky black Versace dress that hugged her figure and moved with a glossy, liquid-like finish. The dress had a clean, minimal cut, which made the fit and texture the star of the moment.

To match the mood, Sydney added a chunky choker that tied the whole look into the night’s theme of ’90s Hollywood red carpet. Her glam leaned into the same era, with heavy black eyeliner, smudged edges, and soft nude lips. She wore her hair down in loose waves and kept playing with it as she posed, giving off a carefree, confident attitude that matched the outfit perfectly.

The night was a milestone event for Sydney. She is one of seven stars fronting the 2025 GQ Men of the Year issues, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. As one of the cover stars and the magazine’s pick for Actress of the Year, she co-hosted the event alongside Stephen Colbert, Seth Rogen, SZA, Oscar Isaac, Clipse, and Hailey Bieber.

Sydney has been on a streak of bold fashion choices lately. On Good Morning America, she greeted fans in a beige belted trench-style coat with nothing layered underneath. At Variety’s Power of Women event, she walked the carpet in a sheer chainmail dress that revealed almost everything. Even her recent London look, a pink satin-and-lace gown, leaned into see-through details from the mid-thigh down.

Her latest Versace moment shows how naturally she slips into ’90s-inspired fashion, a style she has been revisiting in nearly every appearance. With the GQ party honoring the decade in full force, Sydney seemed completely in her element.
