Along with her Anybody However You press tour and SNL internet hosting stint within the rearview, Sydney Sweeney is shifting on to new initiatives and appearances . 

The actor hit SXSW to advertise her newest film, Immaculate, a horror movie that takes place towards the backdrop of a convent. Don’t count on Sweeney to be methodology dressing as a nun for this tour although. As an alternative, the actor has gone full “remaining lady” on us.  

Sweeney wore a customized Richard Quinn costume to the movie’s premiere, styled by Molly Dickson. The ankle-length white costume is manufactured from lace and options draped satin off-the-shoulder sleeves. A slit allowed her to indicate off a pair of trompe l’oeil boots that seem like white lace thigh-high hose worn with pointy-toed pumps. Her sole accent was a pair of pearl drop earrings. 

The ’80s-adjacent look appears a nod to the campy horror motion pictures of yore, with a wink to the up to date thought of the remaining lady. Whereas it’s been a longstanding recurrence within the style, it wasn’t named till 1992, when Carol J. Clover revealed Males, Ladies, And Chain Saws: Gender In The Fashionable Horror Movie. The trope refers back to the token feminine survivor in slasher movies, which followers could acknowledge within the Scream, Halloween, and Texas Chainsaw Bloodbath movies. The ultimate lady is normally a virtuous virgin—therefore the palate of white lace. 

Sweeney’s saccharine look struck a pointy distinction with the hooded figures looming simply behind her. It simply goes to indicate that even the ultimate lady wants to observe her again.
