Sydney Sweeney looked effortlessly stylish as she stepped out for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez‘s pre-wedding dinner in Venice on Thursday evening.
The Hollywood star, 27, has joined a whole host of A-list guests who have travelled to the Italian city for the $20million nuptials, set to take place on Friday, June 27.
And they kicked off the weekend-long celebrations with a welcome dinner at the Campo Della Madonna dell’Orto, with some very notable names in attendance.
Sydney made sure to turn heads as she put on a busty display in a plunging pink and green floral dress featuring a sweeping frilled skirt.
She added a few extra inches to her frame with a pair of pink satin heels and let her outfit do all the talking as she exited the glitzy venue.
The Euphoria star was photographed getting into a boat following the festivities, which got off to an interesting start as they were hit by a freak thunderstorm.

Guests dived for cover under the vaulted cloisters as lightening bolts flashed across the sky and thunder rumbled overhead at the end of what was a torridly humid day with temperatures nudging 96.8° Fahrenheit.
Torrential downpours and a strong wind left guests soaked as they then dashed for water taxis which had been scrambled a good 45 minutes ahead of the midnight finish time.
The strong gusts of winds whipped table cloths away and sent waiters scurrying for umbrellas to protect the VIP attendees.
Also in attendance were the likes of Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Brady, Ellie Goulding and Kim and Kendall Jenner, among many others.
Former US President Barack Obama was among guests – he and Bezos have been on warm terms for years, and Jeff donated $100 million (£72million) to the Obama Foundation in 2021.
Though Jeff and Lauren are yet to walk down the aisle in Venice – it was revealed on Thursday that the couple are already legally married.
A source told DailyMail.com: ‘They have been married for at least a month, more than a month. The marriage is fully legal and took place in America under American law.’
‘When they were planning the wedding, they were clear about the fact that they were already secretly married,’ they added.

‘There is no application for a wedding license from the couple because it was not required.
‘Whatever happens at the wedding on Friday, it will not be a wedding. Under Italian law, it will not be a wedding celebration, any vows said or rings exchanged will have no legal meaning,’ the insider continued.
It was also claimed that the billionaire confirmed both he and Lauren are legally married and that they have signed a prenuptial agreement as well.
The A-list guests that are attending the wedding are staying at five-star hotels in Venice such as the Aman, The Gritti Palace and the Cipriani.
But Venice will still see a party unlike any other. Amid local protests, celebrities, politicians and business titans have gathered in the city known, ironically given the disruption, as La Serenissima, the Most Serene Republic of Venice.
As the eyes of the world focused on the event, staff at the privately owned Madonna dell Orto cloisters – where the couple held their ‘eve of’ reception tonight with finger food and pizza – erected tents to stop overflying drones from picturing the guests.
Policemen on jet skis meanwhile patrolled the entrance to the nearest canal.
It’s thought that the event included speeches from the bride to the groom and vice versa.
