Sydney Sweeney arrived at the Armani Beauty party in Venice on Thursday night wearing a daring sequin dress, holding hands with her boyfriend Scooter Braun while Kendall Jenner joined them for the event.
The 28-year-old actress is in the Italian city for the Venice Film Festival, one of the world's oldest film festivals, held annually on the Lido, and used the party to show off her curves in the Armani number. Braun, the 45-year-old music mogul and talent manager known for discovering artists including Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande, dressed in a smart suit for the occasion.
Jenner, 30, opted for a white vest top and a textured black skirt, finishing the look with dark shades and strappy black heels. The party came after the model walked the red carpet for the Wild Horse Nine premiere in a gold dress from Armani.
Sweeney's dress bared her cleavage, and she was pictured at the bash following a dinner hosted by the brand.
She held hands with Braun throughout the evening as the pair posed together for photographers.
Jenner's dark shades and strappy black heels rounded off her look for the night.
She carried a sleek black leather handbag for the outing.
A romantic gondola ride earlier in the day
Before the party, Sweeney and Braun had enjoyed a romantic gondola ride through Venice's canals and shared a kiss. The Euphoria star wore a white summer dress with a yellow jumper draped over her shoulders, while Braun wore blue shorts, a white shirt and a backwards baseball cap.
Sweeney also wore a cleavage-baring ensemble to an exclusive dinner at the Royal Gardens earlier that evening.
Scooter Braun's children join the trip
Before travelling to Venice, Sweeney was spotted in Los Angeles with Braun, whom she has been romantically linked with since last September. The couple were joined by Braun's three children, Jagger Joseph, 11, Levi Magnus, nine, and Hart Violet, seven, whom he shares with his ex-wife Yael Cohen.
Braun married Cohen in 2014, but their marriage ended in 2021 when he filed for divorce, which was finalised in 2022. Sweeney was seen looking affectionate with his children on a Monday afternoon as they went for a stroll after school before stopping for smoothies, a development seen as significant for the relationship.
How Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun's romance began
The relationship began months after the pair met at the Venice wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez in June last year. Sweeney had ended her engagement to longtime partner Jonathan Davino at the start of last year, around the time she began seeing Braun.
A source said at the time: "Sydney and Scooter are still seeing each other and trying to be as low-key as possible, while still dating and having fun... They are just taking things slow and enjoying their time together."
By December, it was reported the relationship had become serious. A source said: "Scooter and Sydney are going strong and things between them are great. They're in a committed relationship, and things are serious."
In January this year, Sweeney was asked about speculation surrounding her love life. "Sometimes I'll think that I can do a normal thing and have a date in a normal way, and then it gets perceived in a very non-normal way. It's kind of sad," she said.
Speaking about going public with a relationship, she added: "I understand that I'm a public person, but I'm still in my 20s. I'm still figuring out 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, for all of my 20s, I put my head down and focused on work, and now I want to experience things. But it's hard deciding that I want to experience love in the public eye. I'm just navigating it all."
In May, Braun described Sweeney warmly, saying: "I've met an extraordinary woman who is kind and generous and smart, and real and down to earth."
Other stars at the Armani Beauty party
Model Vittoria Ceretti, who is dating actor Leonardo DiCaprio, was also seen leaving the Armani Beauty dinner.
Actor Jonathan Bailey, known for Bridgerton, was also spotted leaving the party, dressed smartly in a tuxedo.
Jenner, a member of the Kardashian-Jenner family and a longtime fashion model, also shared snaps from her Venice trip on Instagram on Thursday, including one picture in which she wore a white patterned dress.
