After a year marked by professional controversies and social media backlash, Sydney Sweeney appeared to be mending fences in Hollywood as she joined some of the industry’s most celebrated stars at the Variety Power of Women: Los Angeles event on Wednesday night.

The Euphoria actress turned heads on the red carpet in a shimmering silver gown featuring a sheer bodice and intricate detailing. 

She greeted fellow attendees warmly, sharing an affectionate embrace and cheek kiss with Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis while posing for photos.

Inside the event, Sweeney was also seen chatting with Sharon Stone and later sat beside producer Christy Martin during the gala dinner. 

Moreover, observers noted her upbeat mood and confidence throughout the evening — a marked contrast to her quieter appearance at this year’s Emmy Awards, where she kept a low profile and skipped the after-parties.

Sweeney’s recent months have been turbulent, with the actress facing criticism surrounding an advertising campaign and public scrutiny over her political affiliations. 

Despite the controversy, she appeared at ease among peers at Wednesday’s event, smiling and mingling freely with other guests.

The Anyone But You star’s appearance seemed to signal a return to Hollywood’s inner circle, reminding many of her charisma and star power that first made her one of the industry’s brightest young talents.
