It’s hard to play favourites, especially when it comes to quintessential Miu Miu girl Sydney Sweeney and her melange of custom Miuccia Prada-designed ensembles. However, on the Côte d’Azur, the 25-year-old actress is making a case for her most recent Miu Miu ensemble to catapult to the top of our lust-worth list.

Alas, we won’t see this Princess-esque powder blue number on the jacquard gold (or blue, depending on your location) floors at your nearest Miu Miu boutique, but we can still indulge in the fantasy, right?

Proving that the glamour of the annual Cannes Film Festival can extend off of the red-carpeted Croisette, Sweeney and Miu Miu co-hosted a private luncheon for the legions of Miu Miu-ites gallivanting around the French Riviera.

Flocking to the azure-hued L’Écrin Plage restaurant and beach club for the fête, Sweeney was the definition of a modern-day Grace Kelly in her effortlessly elegant scoop-neck midi dress.

The knee-grazing number featured a soft layer of chiffon, accented by the addition of embroidered floral motifs and jewelled embellishments.

The look was reminiscent of the golden age of Hollywood glamour silhouettes the Princess of Monaco wore in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1955 classic To Catch a Thief. A fitting tribute considering the film’s setting of Nice.

However, for Sweeney’s Euphoria fans, the look resembles the colour palette her chaotic character, Cassie, gravitates towards on the Emmy Award-winning show.

If Cassie was to steal Rue’s suitcase (and the $10,000 inside) and take a flight straight into Nice Côte d’Azur Airport, we have no doubt that this is the custom look she’d don for sneaking into premiere after-parties and dancing with the cast of The Idol.

However, for others, this look wasn’t reminiscent of Princess Grace, but rather a Disney Princess with fans writing that Sweeney was having a Cinderella moment in the baby blue ensemble. If that’s the fantasy she’s selling, we never want midnight to arrive.
