Is it getting hot in here, or is it just Sydney Sweeney? Spoiler alert, with temperatures in the high 50s here, it’s definitely the talented and stunning actress who is setting us all ablaze with a series of Instagram snaps she shared from the 2023 Met Gala.
To quote the lyrical queen Taylor Swift: ‘We might be okay, but we’re not fine at all.” Is it humanly possible to look at Sweeney’s post and feel nothing? We think not; she’s giving us butterflies in your stomach when you first fall in love vibes.
Preparations for the Met Gala happen months before the big event, and with the way she stepped out of everyone’s wildest dreams and made them all come true, it’s evident that she had a blast through the entire experience. In addition to her Instagram post, she shared a series of snaps on her story of the big night, the sketch of her stunning gown, and portraits that highlight her joy in becoming a literal Disney princess last night.
Wearing a corset under the gown, her already stunning frame was the canvas for a dress that stole the show last night. The beautiful pale pink was made more spectacular by crystal flowers and a silhouette that hugged her in all the right places.
To accompany her gown, Sweeney donned a simple makeup look with just a hint of shimmer on her eyes, cheeks, and lips. She looked like a pin-up girl, like she belonged in the era of sock hops, big hair, bows, and bubble gum. There was something gorgeous and very timely about her look while honoring a time before her, too.
Fans have been talking about her since the debut of her look at the Met Gala Monday night, but the snaps of the up close and personal and intimate looks during the hours of preparation beforehand really got their attention.
“She’s giving me young Marilyn Monroe vibes,” one comment said, while another echoed the thoughts we’re all thinking, calling her a “real life Barbie.” Many fans said they got Monroe vibes from Sweeney’s attire, look, and persona at the Met.
Several comments say that Sweeney was the best dressed of the night, with more comments flooded with heart-eye emoji and the word “perfection” — and they’re not wrong. Sweeney looked almost unreal last night, and while she’s always a knockout, it was all elevated during last night’s ceremony.
Here’s to Sweeney’s Met look, the details that went into it, and the Instagram post that has everyone talking today; if you need us, we’ll just be picking our jaws up from the floor — thank you.
