Sydney Sweeney landed at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival on Wednesday in Italy wearing one of 2026’s hottest shoe trends, the clear heel. The “Euphoria” star went monochrome for her arrival in the floating city, opting for a sheer top with coordinated clear mules by Gianvito Rossi.

While the Gianvito Rossi Elle Mule is a popular choice for those looking for a clear heel, “The Housemaid” star opted for the Sofia Mule 95. The Sofia style in all black has been picking up steam among Hollywood stars, but Sweeney opted for the mule in pink, which retails for $945. The mules are crafted from Nuit glossy leather.
The style is a round-toe stiletto mule with a soft see-through Plexi upper. The style is defined by the luxury footwear brand’s distinctive “Sofia” heel, which blends modernity and a retro feel with a glossy curved heel design that’s wider at the base like a wedge. Handmade in Italy. The stiletto heel measures 3.8 inches.
Sweeney arrived in Venice wearing an archive look from the Georges Chakra Spring 2003 collection, featuring a sheer lace top with matching shorts. The outfit features a floral lace halter-neck bodice with ruffled high-neck detailing. She paired the top with belted utility-style Bermuda shorts. She finished the look with a small handbag and sunglasses.
The actress is at the Venice Film Festival as a brand ambassador for Armani Beauty this year, not to promote a movie. She represents Armani Beauty, which is the official beauty sponsor of the 83rd Venice International Film Festival. Kendall Jenner, Amal Clooney and others have already arrived at the event.
