Sydney Sweeney was a butter yellow dream at Lionsgate’s “Americana” special screening held at Desert 5 Spot on Sunday in Los Angeles. The actress arrived wearing a custom dress by Danielle Frankel, with a pair of ivory heels that the bridal designer created exclusively for Net-a-porter.
The movie star opted for a pair of Frankel’s Kennedy satin pumps to wear to the screening. The shoes are made in Italy from a “Pearl” satin material that folds delicately around the vamp, leading into an elongated square toe.

The heels, like all of Frankel’s creations, are made to be worn on a bride’s big day or any special moments leading up to it and after. The slightly flared heel measures approximately four inches, and the heel has a classic D’Orsay silhouette, exposing the side of the foot. The shoes retail for $990.
The satin material of the shoe matched with the bodice on the custom dress, which was shaped like a corset, dramatically accentuating Sweeney’s waist. The dress then flared out into an A-line tulle skirt of the same color, with the hem landing right around he ankles, allowing for a full view of her unique shoes.
Sweeney completed the look with a matching headband and her blond hair draped down her shoulders in a cascade of loose yet polished waves. Her upcoming film, which follows a shy waitress named Penny and a lovelorn military veteran who find themselves in the crosshairs of a ruthless criminal as they try to retrieve a rare Native American artifact, hits theaters on Aug. 15.
Danielle Frankel Studio was founded in 2017 as a bridal label that is designed and produced in the Garment District of New York City. Frankel launched her eponymous label after honing her skills at Vera Wang and Marchesa. She has become a go-to for celebrities including AnnaSophia Robb, Naomi Biden, Zoë Kravitz and Julia Garner, and has garnered accolades from the Council of Fashion Designers of America, becoming the first bridal designer to do so.
Frankel previously partnered with Manolo Blahnik on a limited shoe collection in 2021 and then launched her first bridal shoe collection in August 2024 after she saw a gap in the market for her vision of footwear. “This literally was born from market research,” she told WWD at the time. “We do a lot of alterations all day every day and the biggest thing people have problems with is their bridal shoes.”
