Sydney Sweeney oozed glamor in a backless sequin dress as she led the stars at the Armani Beauty dinner during the Venice Film Festival this evening.
The American actress, 27, has no film projects to promote at this year’s film festival but will act as the brand’s poster girl on the red carpet alongside Kendall Jenner.
Sweeney wore a plunging ensemble for the exclusive dinner at the Royal Gardens.
The Hollywood star was joined by the stunning Nina Dobrev, 37, who opted for a sophisticated strapless jumpsuit.
Her eye-catching appearance came hours after Sweeney enjoyed a romantic gondola ride with her boyfriend Scooter Braun.
The Euphoria star, 28, wore a beautiful white summer dress with yellow sweater draped over her shoulders as she passionately kissed the 45-year-old mogul.
Talent manager and record executive Braun looked handsome in blue shorts, a crisp white shirt and a backwards baseball cap.

Ahead of their trip to Venice, Sweeney was spotted in Los Angeles with Braun, with whom she has been romantically linked since September 2025.
The couple was joined by Braun’s three children: Jagger Joseph, 11; Levi Magnus, nine; and Heart Violet, seven – who he shares with his ex-wife, Yael Cohen.
Braun tied the knot with Cohen in 2014, before welcoming their three children. But in 2021, their marriage collapsed when he filed for divorce, which was finalized in 2022.
Sweeney looked affectionately at the Braun children Monday afternoon as they took a walk after school before stopping for smoothies.
It marked a major development in the couple’s romance, which began months after they met at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding in Venice last June.
After ending her engagement to longtime partner Jonathan Davino in early 2025, when she started seeing Braun, sources said, “Sydney and Scooter are still seeing each other and trying to be as low-key as possible while still dating and having fun…
“They’re just taking it easy and enjoying their time together.”
In December it was revealed that the couple was ‘serious’: ‘Scooter and Sydney are going strong and things are great between them. They are in a committed relationship and things are serious.”

In January this year, Sweeney was asked about speculation surrounding her love life, to which she said: ‘Sometimes I think I can do something normal and go on a date in a normal way, and then it’s perceived in a very non-normal way. It’s a bit sad.’
On going public with a romance, she said, “I understand I’m a public person, but I’m still in my 20s. I’m still in the process of discovering love, and it’s hard to do that with millions of people who have their own opinions of what that looks like…
‘At the same time, in my twenties I put my head down and focused on my work – and now I want to experience things. But it’s hard to decide if I want to experience love in the public eye. I just navigate through it.”
In May, Braun said, “I met a special woman who is kind and generous and smart, and real and down to earth.”
