The wild reception she was afforded during her Saturday Night Live debut extended to the French capital on Tuesday as Sydney Sweeney joined Emma Corrin at Paris Fashion Week.
Sweeney, 26, who flew to mainland Europe after winning plaudits for her guest role on the American skit show, inevitably commanded attention in sheer black tights and sparkling silver underwear as she greeted onlookers outside the Palais de Tokyo.
A black crop-top drew attention to her slender waistline, visible between the open lapels of a chic, single-breasted blazer.
Joining the Euphoria star, Emma, 28, caught the eye in a sporty red tracksuit top and matching skirt.
Corrin, best known for her portrayal of Diana, Princess of Wales in The Crown, completed their latest look with long grey socks and buckled black dress shoes.

The Vampire Diaries star, 35, completed her ensemble with burgundy leather sling-backs, while a tasteful black handbag and heavily tinted sunglasses appeared to be her only notable accessories.
Cindy Bruna, 29, was also in attendance on Tuesday, with the French model opting to throw a striking gold cape over her Miu Miu microskirt and green striped tee.
Also present for the exclusive show, fellow model Camille Rowe, 34 – the former girlfriend of Harry Styles – wore a comparatively subdued pair of low-slung jeans beneath a long-sleeved jersey.
Other front row guests included Thylane Blondeau – once dubbed ‘the most beautiful girl in the world’ by Vogue Enfant.
The 22-year old model looked stunning in an olive co-ord that fully exposed her shoulders as she acknowledged onlookers before making her way inside.
Guests were treated to an inclusive presentation that included Kristin Scott Thomas joining a troupe of conventionally younger models on the catwalk, among them Gigi Hadid.
The celebrated actress, 63, led the show’s finale to rapturous applause shortly after Hadid made her own appearance on the runway.

Despite the fashion industry’s promise to be more inclusive, there has been little evidence of real change at this Paris Fashion Week.
Paris has always been the city most wedded to the ideal of the ultra-skinny model. According to the curve model Felicity Hayward, whose ‘Including the Curve’ initiative tracks size inclusivity across the four major fashion capitals of New York, London, Milan and Paris, Paris ranks last, with only 28 plus-size models appearing on the catwalk last season, out of an estimated 4,000 looks shown.
Judging by the collections unveiled so far, this season the number looks set to be even lower.
At the Chloe and Saint Laurent shows, as well as the show for Swedish brand Acne Studios, not only did the models have to be as slender as a reed: they also had to pass the pencil test.
Some may argue that you could wear the sheer look at any age, with one proviso: that your breasts aren’t any larger than an A cup. Or maybe, at a push, a pert little B. Which is a low blow for body diversity.
A cynic might even argue that this was the point.
