If fashion were dessert, Sydney Sweeney just served us a double helping of rich, chocolate couture—and we are absolutely indulging.
On a whirlwind press day in New York for her upcoming psychological thriller Echo Valley, the Euphoria star gave the neutral color palette a sensual, sophisticated upgrade. Her weapon of choice? Brown—molten, moody, and deliciously modern.
First up: a vintage gem from the Jean Paul Gaultier Fall 2005 archive. This wasn’t just a blazer—it was a power play in cocoa wool, reimagined by stylist Molly Dickson as a mini dress. The piece came complete with a built-in matching tie (yes, très JPG), three asymmetrical pockets, and long, cuffed sleeves that whispered masculine tailoring with a flirtatious twist. A curved split hem added the perfect kiss of leg, proving once again that archival doesn’t mean outdated—it means editorial.
Sweeney elevated the throwback piece with a trio of tonal accessories: pointed mahogany heels, a matching suede Magda Butrym handbag, and the ultimate It-Girl punctuation—a pair of Miu Miu’s slim, blue-tinted sunglasses. The effect? Think ‘70s secretary meets modern mogul. Delicious.
But the brown renaissance didn’t stop there. Later in the day, Sweeney slipped into a silky, ultra-polished ensemble from Oscar de la Renta’s Fall 2025 collection. The set? A short-sleeved pussy-bow blouse and billowing, high-waisted trousers in a subtle brown-and-blue check—equal parts boardroom elegance and brunch-on-Madison glam. Baby blue heels peeked out from beneath her wide-leg trousers, a cheeky echo to the print’s faint hue. She finished the look with sculptural sunglasses and a creamy leather Poppy tote (also from de la Renta), delivering a masterclass in tonal dressing.
And while her chocolate moment was the standout theme of the day, Sweeney couldn’t resist a palette cleanser: a striking black-and-white look from Coperni as she exited Good Morning America. With a sailor-style vest, pleated mini skirt, and knee-high leather boots, the ensemble was part Parisian ingénue, part mod revival. McQueen sunnies and a Miu Miu handbag sealed the monochrome moment with a designer wink.
Sydney Sweeney’s press tour style is proving to be more than just a fashion showcase—it’s a curated exhibition of modern femininity through the lens of high fashion nostalgia. Brown may have once been overlooked in favor of flashier hues, but in Sweeney’s world, it’s the new black—and infinitely more flavorful.
