LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Sydney Sweeney left the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party attendees in awe as her 'Euphoria' actress paid homage to legendary Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie. The 26-year-old sported the same dress that the Academy Award winner wore 20 years back. 

The silk cream-colored dress designed by Marc Bouwer was first worn by Jolie in 2004. The gown displays a plunging neckline, an open back, and a long train.

Sweeney chose to accessorize the dress similarly to Jolie's look as she accompanied the gown with the matching shawl, and a long, custom-made tiered necklace by Messika.

One of the major differences between the actress's looks was how their hair was worn. Jolie went with a half-up, half-down style, while Sweeney completed her Vanity Fair afterparty look with the debut of a new sultry bob styled into loose waves.
