Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell captivated onlookers and commanded the spotlight at the premiere of their highly anticipated film, Anyone But You, hosted at AMC Lincoln Square 13 in New York City on December 11, 2023.
Bringing undeniable charisma to the red carpet, the on-screen duo, portraying the lead roles of Ben and Bea in the romantic comedy film, unveiled their glamorous sides, radiating a chemistry that had everyone talking.

Sydney Sweeney Shines in Crystal-Embellished Miu Miu Gown and Matching Sandals
Sydney’s dress, adorned with rows of crystals cascading down its translucent nude fabric, showcased her bust and toned legs elegantly.
Styled by Molly Dickson, The White Lotus star cinched her gown at the waist with a chic black belt — a look partly inspired by Kendall Jenner’s sheer, crystal-embellished Givenchy Met Gala gown. For her first major theatrical film premiere, Sweeney wanted something “romantic and pretty” that balanced glamour with personal significance.
Adding height to her petite frame, Sydney wore crystal-embellished open-toed, strappy Miu Miu sandals that perfectly complemented her sparkling attire.
Her ensemble was complemented by Fred Leighton onyx and diamond pendant platinum earrings, along with a selection of platinum twin old European-cut diamond rings and a platinum oval rose-cut diamond ring.

Completing the look, Sydney opted for a soft, glam makeup style, featuring a nude lip gloss and light, shimmery nude eyeshadow.

Dispelling or Fueling? Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell Tackle On-Screen Romance Speculations
Speculation about an on-set romance has swirled around Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell since the filming of the romantic comedy. However, both actors maintain that their relationship is strictly platonic.
Despite Sydney being engaged to 40-year-old Jonathan Davino, the duo’s on-screen chemistry has become a hot topic of discussion.
In a joint interview on the Today show earlier that day, Glen expressed admiration for Sydney, stating, “No, but we do love each other. And, honestly, this is one of the most spectacular humans I’ve ever met. She’s really great,” while assuring that their relationship is grounded in friendship.

Earlier that month, he raved about their amazing chemistry in an exclusive interview with Entertainment Tonight, saying, “A great rom-com doesn’t survive without great chemistry, and Sydney is the easiest person to have chemistry with. I mean, immediately, it was like we’d known each other forever, and I think anybody that’s been on the set realizes I never get tired of talking to Sydney.”
Glen added that he and Sweeney “make each other laugh,” noting, “She’s awesome, obviously one of the most talented actresses we have. This movie has felt like a rom-com in itself because Sydney is very easy to pretend-fall in love with.”
