Sydney Sweeney’s look at the 2025 MetGala was a nod to her upcoming film Scandalous!, which sees her star as actress Kim Novak. Scandalous! will reportedly tell the story of Novak’s “forbidden romance” with Rat Pack icon Sammy Davis Jr. in the late 1950s.
The 27-year-old Sydney Sweeney will be starring in Scandalous!, the directorial debut from two-time Oscar nominee Colman Domingo, alongside Industry and Alien: Romulus breakout David Jonsson, who plays Sammy Davis Jr. The film will be heading to the Cannes Film Festival later this month seeking a sale to a distributor.
Speaking to the media on the red carpet at the 2025 MetGala on Monday night, Sweeney confirmed that her dress she wore to the event was an homage to Novak.
” I always feel that [Miu Miu] just brings such beautiful stories to every dress,” Sweeney told Vogue at the event. “So this is actually paying homage to Kim Novak, and I’m doing a movie with Colman Domingo … so we wanted to really just bring that to life.”
Sweeney will next be seen starring in the AppleTV+ film Echo Valley alongside Julianne Moore, Domhnall Gleeson, Kyle MacLachlan, and Fiona Shaw, which releases on Friday, June 13. She then be seen starring in Ron Howard’s Eden alongside Ana de Armas, Vanessa Kirby, Jude Law, and Daniel Bruhl, hitting theaters on August 22.
Later this year, she’ll feature in Paul Feig’s The Housemaid alongside Amanda Seyfried and Brandon Sklenar, whom she was recently spotted with at the Stagecoach musical festival.
In the coming years, Sweeney is also attached to projects such as Americana directed by Tony Tost, I Pretended to be A Missing Girl, an untitled Christy Martin biopic directed David Michôd, Barbarella directed by Edgar Wright, an adaptation of the popular Japanese anime Gundam, OutRun directed by Michael Bay, an adaptation of Edgar Allen Poe’s The Masque of the Red Death, and more.
