Sydney Sweeney led the way as she attended the Road To The Golden Globes party during the Toronto Film Festival in Canada on Saturday night.

SYDNEY SWEENEY SHINES AT THE TORONTO FILM FESTIVAL, BUT CAN SHE BOUNCE BACK FROM CONTROVERSY?

Sydney Sweeney, the 27-year-old actress known for her breakout role in Euphoria, stepped out at the Road To The Golden Globes party during the Toronto Film Festival on Saturday night, and she's looking better than ever. Alongside Hollywood heavyweights Kirsten Dunst, Samara Weaving, and Elizabeth Olsen, Sweeney turned heads on the red carpet in a stunning little black dress that showcased her hourglass figure.

But it's not just her physical appearance that's been making waves - Sweeney has been at the center of several controversies in recent months. First, there was the backlash over her American Eagle campaign, which some critics accused of promoting eugenics and white supremacy. However, an analysis by The New York Times found that the controversy was largely fueled by right-wing media outlets seeking to create a stir.

Also in attendance was Kirsten, 43, who looked radiant in a figure hugging grey dress which featured sexy cut out sections across her midriff

Despite this, Sweeney's career continues to thrive. She's been promoting her new film Christy, a biopic about welterweight champion Christy Martin, which premiered at the festival on Friday. Sweeney's portrayal of Martin has received rave reviews, with many praising her dedication to the role.

"I trained for two, three months before shooting," Sweeney revealed in an interview. "I had a boxing coach, weight trainers, nutritionists... I trained three times a day, every day, and then while I was filming, I trained as well." The results were impressive - Sweeney bulked up by drinking "a lot of milk shakes, a lot of protein shakes" and even got to embody the powerful woman that Christy Martin is.

But it's not just her acting career that's been making headlines. Sweeney has also been rumored to be embarking on a casual romance with Scooter Braun, whom she was spotted spending Labor Day weekend with at Lake Tahoe. This marks a new chapter for Sweeney, who broke up with her fiancé Jonathan Davino in March.

Meanwhile, Swift's ex-boyfriend Travis Kelce is also making headlines - his collaboration with American Eagle dropped just one day after the couple announced their engagement.

As Christy prepares to hit theaters on November 7, it will be interesting to see how Sweeney's star power holds up. With her latest film receiving rave reviews and her personal life making waves in the tabloids, it seems like she's back on top. But can she bounce back from the controversy surrounding her American Eagle campaign? Only time will tell.

STYLISTIC STEALERS

Imogen Poots opted for a chic backless number

Kirsten Dunst, 43, looked absolutely stunning at the festival, rocking a figure-hugging grey dress that showed off her curves in all the right places. She paired it with a bouncy blown-out hairstyle and a slick of red lipstick - talk about making a statement!

Samara Weaving turned up the heat in a sheer black dress that showcased her phenomenal figure and black lingerie. She added glitzy silver jewelry and lashings of eyeliner to complete her look.

Imogen Poots, on the other hand, opted for a more grungy vibe in a backless black dress with lace panels. She swept her hair up and went for a smokey-eye look and nude lip - chic!

THE RISE AND FALL OF A HOLLYWOOD STAR

Sydney Sweeney has been making waves in Hollywood since her breakout role in Euphoria. But it's not just her acting career that's made headlines - she's also been at the center of several controversies.

In late July, American Eagle launched a campaign featuring Sweeney, which some critics accused of promoting eugenics and white supremacy. However, an analysis by The New York Times found that the controversy was largely fueled by right-wing media outlets seeking to create a stir.

Kirsten is at the festival to support her upcoming film Roofman, in which she co-stars with Channing Tatum who was also at the Globes bash

THE TAYLOR SWIFT CONNECTION

It turns out that Scooter Braun is not just any ordinary celebrity - he's got a long history with Taylor Swift, who famously feuded with him over her music masters in 2019. However, it seems like Braun has moved on from the drama, and now he's rumored to be cozying up with Sweeney.

Meanwhile, Swift's ex-boyfriend Travis Kelce is also making headlines - his collaboration with American Eagle dropped just one day after the couple announced their engagement. Talk about a coincidence!
