Just as important as the movie premieres at Cannes are the fabulous lunches, dinners, and parties that all of the A-list stars get to attend. Yesterday, actor Sydney Sweeney hosted a lunch with Miu Miu at L’Écrin Plage, the iconic seaside restaurant located at the eastern end of La Croisette. The Euphoria star mingled with guests like Ashley Graham, Aja Naomi King, and Amina Muaddi—and she, of course, brought a fashionable look for the affair.
Considering this year wasn’t Sweeney’s first time in Cannes—she attended the Canneseries festival last year—the star knew how to dress for the occasion. “I love the energy that comes to life in Cannes,” says Sweeney. “And, there’s so many tucked-away, amazing spots to eat.” For the Miu Miu lunch, she opted for the label’s powder-blue dress, embroidered with white flowers. “I love the flower details, and the light blue material of the dress,” says Sweeney. “I’ve been wanting to wear blue since it’s my favorite color, and I felt like this silhouette was perfect for a lunch in Cannes.” Her beauty look, meanwhile—including a perfectly-tousled bouffant—was inspired by a certain iconic French star. “It felt very Brigitte Bardot, my forever beauty icon,” she says.
Of course, it’s not the first time Sweeney has worn Miu Miu for such a high-profile event. The star is a face for the brand, and has often worn its sweet, feminine designs on the red carpet. “Miu Miu has become my family,” says Sweeney. “I love the team of women who I’ve gotten close with, and I love how collaborative they are with me for my looks. I love their clothes, bags, and accessories—they’re effortlessly cool.” What’s Sweeney up to post-festival, meanwhile? She’s heading right back to set. “I head back to Pennsylvania to finish up shooting my new movie Echo Valley with Julianne Moore,” she teases. We can’t wait to see which ensemble she busts out for the premiere.
