Sydney Sweeney turned heads on Sunday, August 3, as she stepped onto the red carpet for a special screening of her film "Americana" at Desert 5 Spot in Los Angeles.

The 27-year-old actress wore a custom Danielle Frankel ensemble featuring a corseted bodice and voluminous tulle ballgown skirt in a soft ivory tone. She completed the look with Effy jewelry and a matching pale yellow headband.

While the look made a bold statement, online reactions were mixed—particularly over the accessory choice.

"Why's she pairing an evening gown with a sweat band 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣," one person wrote. Another added, "Ditch the headband, girl! With that dress? What was she thinking? Or keep the headband and get some jeans! Casual combo 😂"

Some defended the actress’s style and star power. "She's a beauty and love her campaign at AE! 🔥😍," one fan commented, while another said, "So gorgeous and captivating, Sydney is something else."

But others focused heavily on the styling and fit. "That hairband makes her look like a deviled egg. Not a good look," someone noted. "It doesn't pair well with the dress. The dress hits at a really weird length, too."

Another critic added, "Yeah in my opinion it just looks like a piece of fabric slapped on at the last minute." Others echoed that sentiment, writing, "Hate it, the hair/headband looks so odd and the dress is wayyyyy too dramatic and yet boring at the same time."

One person was particularly detailed in their critique, "The dress could have been so cute, but the length is awkward on her and that shade of white isn’t her colour. Don't get me started on the primary school headband or the ugly shoes."

Commentary continued, with one stating, "The length is completely wrong. Looking down her body my brain expected the skirt to hit just below the knee and show some leg. It's like her lower limbs were cut off and some feet stuck on the bottom of her knees."

Despite the divided opinions, the look certainly captured attention — and kept Sweeney firmly in the fashion spotlight.

Here are some photos from the event:
