“On its 20th anniversary I couldn’t ask for a better revival,” fashion designer Marc Bouwer wrote via Instagram on Monday, March 11.

Sydney’s stylist Molly Dickson thanked Marc and fashion executive Paul Margolin for “letting [them] into [their] archives for this special moment.”

Sydney added her own spin on the archival dress, accessorizing it with a layered statement necklace from the designer Messika.

An Instagram Story posted by Molly and shared by Sydney after the show showed how the custom necklace was made for Sydney for the big night.

New ‘Do

The Euphoria alum also took the moment to debut a new haircut. The actress’ usual long locks were cut into a bob, which was styled with loose waves.

The week before, Sydney had worn a slightly longer shoulder-length ‘do at Miu Miu’s Paris Fashion Week show.

Details

She added a pair of large round stud earrings and simple shimmery makeup to complete her look.

“That’s the fun thing about all of this, it’s like playing dress up,” Sydney told People about her outlook on fashion during a March 9 interview. “It’s boring to do the same thing over and over again.”
