Twenty years later: Sydney Sweeney's nod to one of Angelina Jolie's most iconic dresses

One of the great stylistic surprises of the 96th edition of the Oscars did not occur on the red carpet at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles but at the party organized by Vanity Fair. For years, celebrities who have not stepped foot on the expected red carpet have gathered at this exclusive event where there is no shortage of shocking looks full of trends.

Sydney Sweeney, the fashionable girl, couldn't be missing from this year's after party. The actress has become one of the style icons of the moment thanks to her work in the film Anyone But You and her outfits created by stylist Molly Dickson, who has successfully transformed the young woman's style. .

Sweeney arrived at the party wearing a Marc Bouwer dress with which she captured everyone's attention. A satin design in off-white with a halter neck, a deep neckline to the navel and draped fabric detail at the waist to stylize her body.

This creation left her back uncovered and had a fluid skirt finished in a train that provided sensual movement with every step. She combined it with a shawl made of the same fabric.

A look that was familiar to many. And Sydney had chosen the same dress that Angelina Jolie wore on the red carpet at the 2004 Oscars. Just twenty years ago, the protagonist of Maleficent caused a sensation at the awards with this suggestive design with which she presented the Oscar for best art direction to Grant Major, Dan Hennah and Alan Lee for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.

Angelina wore it with a triple necklace, a semi-updo with volume and very natural makeup, but Sweeney chose to change the necklace for one from Messika and show off her newly released wavy lob cut with very sophisticated waves and a bright makeup.
