Sydney Sweeney Attends 'The Housemaid' Premiere In Los Angeles Wearing A Long White Gown

The blonde bombshell has been having quite an eventful year and is wrapping it up by promoting her new film, a psychological thriller, The Housemaid. The movie, which stars her and Amanda Seyfried, follows a former prisoner who takes a live-in job with a wealthy family and eventually uncovers their dark secrets.

 

Last night, on Monday, December 15th, Sydney and the cast attended the Los Angeles premiere of The Housemaid, and she was dressed to the nines in a flashy white gown. The dress had a plunging halter neckline and a long, flowing white skirt that was lined with feathers.

 

The gown, which was reportedly designed by a bridal designer, was very reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe's famous white dress in the 1955 movie, The Seven Year Itch, and she paired it with a classic red lip, potentially tipping her cap to the film star. She wore her signature blonde hair, which had previously been cut into a bob, worn down and long with a slight curl.

The Internet Reacts To Sydney's Premiere Dress On Social Media

After she hit the red carpet in Los Angeles, fans and other internet users immediately began to weigh in on the 28-year-old's dress, especially after media outlets began comparing her to Marilyn Monroe. Many users felt that Sydney's dress truly channeled and paid homage to the film star, while others weren't so convinced and thought that it wasn't the best look she's pulled out this year.

 

"Stunning Sydney," wrote a fan under her Instagram post, as another commented that she looked like "a princess."

 

On the other hand, some users felt it wasn't "right" to compare the Anyone But You Star to the old-school Hollywood icon.

 

"Do not disrespect Marilyn like this ever again," commented an Instagram user, as one added that the look was "not even close" to Marilyn's standards.

 

"Nope," noted a user. "No Marilyn vibes there. Not at all. Sorry."

 

"She could never have the class Marilyn has; she's tacky," added another user.
