Sweeney's Miu Miu look was inspired by the subject of the film 'Scandalous!', which she filmed with Colman Domingo

The Anyone But You star walked up the carpeted steps of New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art in a sequined black gown from Miu Miu that made the whole place shimmer. The piece had curtains of beaded fringe at the shoulders, and a circular cutout at the chest was fastened at the neckline by an abstract golden rosette.
