Actress Sydney Sweeney demonstrated her fashion influence with a standout appearance at the NASCAR Cup Championship at Phoenix Raceway. Despite reports of a personal drama hours earlier, the star arrived with a beaming smile. She wore a perfectly curated, racing-inspired outfit.
Sweeney captivated the audience in an ensemble that masterfully blended high glamour with the aesthetics of motorsport. Her look featured tight black leather shorts and a minimalist top. It was anchored by an oversized white racing jacket with a bold red stripe. The outfit was completed with striking red boots and clear sunglasses, solidifying her commitment to the theme.
The actress’s confident and smiling presence at the event stood in contrast to paparazzi photos from the previous night in Los Angeles. The images showed Sweeney getting into a car driven by her ex-fiancé, Jonathan Davino. She ended a six-year relationship with him in January.

Sources contacted by Page Six confirmed a “conflict” occurred during the encounter. However, the personal drama did not prevent Sweeney from commanding attention and engaging enthusiastically with fans at the racetrack. She even waved the checkered flag to ignite the crowd.
The NASCAR appearance follows Sweeney’s powerful speech at the Variety Power of Women event. There, she directly addressed the challenges she has faced in her career.

While accepting an award, the actress spoke about being underestimated. “I know what it’s like to be underestimated and defined before you have a chance to define yourself,” she stated. “I know what it feels like to have to prove that you deserve to be here, to be seen and to be taken seriously.”
