Shes cheugy and proud.
Sydney Sweeney may star in HBOsEuphoria aka Gen Zs style bible but IRL, shes cheugy and proud.
TheAnyone But Youactors sartorial sensibilities are so millennial-coded and could not be further from Gen Zs tastes.
Thus far,shes rocked Y2K-era handkerchief topsand styledCanadian tuxedosone too many times.
Her favorite dreaded cheugy trend, however, is also one of the most despised: the peplum.
Anyone who lived through the 2010s knows the flared waist silhouette dominated the decade.
Her latest take on the passe trend is also her most dramatic and definitely her most risque.
Decked out in custom Armani Prive, she wore an all-black number that was all sorts of fashion-forward.
Save for strategically placed floral embroidery, her mock neck top was utterly sheer.
Meanwhile, she wrapped a shawl-esque topper around her shoulders and tucked it into her bottoms.
Thats where the cheugy part comes in.
The floor-length skirt, which was pleated and iridescent, featured two exaggerated peplum loops one atop each hip.
The massive curves added to the looks drama.
As for her glam, she dolled up with Armani Beauty gloss on her lids and lips.
Her Cheugy Peplum History
No one can stop Sweeney from wearing a peplum.
In fact, shes made the flouncy overskirt work in just about every aesthetic.
Back in August of 2023, she gave the peplum a cool girl edgein all-leather co-ords.
A year prior, she wore yet another peplum look, this time with a decidedly retro touch.
She slipped into a dark green velvet mini from Thierry Muglers archives all the way from 1981.
She even took her love of the divisive style to the prestigious Met Gala.
Peplums are officially back.
