Sydney Sweeney wore a pale pink Alexander McQueen gown styled by Molly Dickson while promoting her female boxing biopic, having gained 30 pounds of muscle for the role.
- On October 17, 2025, Sydney Sweeney attended the BFI London Film Festival premiere, wearing a pale pink Alexander McQueen gown styled by Molly Dickson tailored to her petite 5'33 frame.
- The biopic Christy tracks two decades of Christy Martin's life, with Sydney Sweeney transforming extensively into the former professional boxer for the role.
