She teamed the ensemble with a white feather boa, and wore her blonde hair in Hollywood-style voluminous curls.
Sweeney opted for soft makeup for the occasion, including a pop of pink lipstick and eye makeup that could rival Marilyn Monroe.
She accessorised with statement earrings and silver jewellery.
Her co-star, Amanda Seyfried, was all smiles as she posed next to Sweeney at the star-studded event.

The new movie follows Millie (Sweeney), a young woman with a troubled past who takes a job as a live-in housekeeper for the wealthy and seemingly perfect couple, Nina and Andrew Winchester (Amanda Seyfried, Brandon Sklenar).
Millie is initially thrilled to have a fresh start, but she soon discovers the family’s picture-perfect facade hides a web of disturbing secrets and manipulative dynamics.

The story is a twisted psychological thriller based on the novel of the same name.
Sweeney’s name has been splashed across headlines for a number of different reasons over the past year.
First, the actress made worldwide headlines over her controversial American Eagle ad.
The ad caused a stir due to the catchphrase “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans”, with many believing the language promoted eugenics.
Responding to the backlash, American Eagle said in a statement: “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans’ is and always was about the jeans.
At the Toronto Film Festival in September, the actress told Vanity Fair she wouldn’t be talking about the controversy or ad during her appearances at the event.
“I am there to support my movie and the people involved in making it, and I’m not there to talk about jeans,” she insisted.
But she opened up a bit more and told GQ weeks later, saying: “I mean, the reaction definitely was a surprise, but I love jeans. All I wear are jeans.”
