Sydney Sweeney arrives at the 2021 People's Choice Awards held at Barker Hangar on December 7 2021 in Santa Monica...

If the second season of Euphoria taught us anything, it's that this is Sydney Sweeney's world now, and we're just grateful to be living in it.

The HBO star has quickly risen to fan-favorite status for multiple reasons. There's her stellar acting, of course. But then there's her style: the perfect Gen Z meets classy mashup of your dreams. When she's not dressing up like a country music star — "In a good way or a bad way!?" will forever be playing on repeat through our minds — she's hitting the red carpet, taking a dip in the pool, or relaxing at home in a reindeer onesie.

Sydney can truly do it all. She's everything Sharpay Evans would pay to become. And TBH, same. Over the years, Sydney's style has become refined and refreshed, incorporating current trends while staying true to her clean and sophisticated aesthetic. Like pop songstress Olivia Rodrigo, she's come a long way, and that's precisely why we admire her style so much.

Need a refresher on Sydney's style evolution through the years? We've got you covered.

A faithful ambassador, Sydney flew across the country after the Emmys to attend the Tory Burch show at New York Fashion Week. For the occasion, she wore a red lippie, a black choker, a mini purse, and a classic LBD paired with black peep-toe platform heels and white socks. It's giving '90s!

If there's one thing Sydney is going to do is show up and show off. Representing HBO Max's The White Lotus during Deadline's Contenders Television event, the star arrived donning an all beige ‘fit from Rok Hwang’s ROKH. Styled by Molly Dickson, Sydney wore a clip-on corset jacket and what she called “fancy pants” on her Instagram, and TBH it might be one of our favorite looks from her.
