Sydney Sweeney turned heads in Venice on Friday, stepping out in a delicate white lace dress while holding hands with boyfriend Scooter Braun during a water taxi outing.
The 28-year-old actress and the 45-year-old businessman have kept a busy schedule since the Venice Film Festival got underway, including an appearance together at Thursday night’s Armani Beauty party.
By the following morning, the pair were back on the move, with Sweeney opting for a softer, more polished look in an intricately detailed lace dress featuring a structured, boxy neckline.
The Vivienne Westwood design was styled with dark brown strappy heels that added extra height, while oversized dark sunglasses gave the ensemble a sleek finishing touch.
Braun kept his own look relaxed for the Venetian outing, pairing a pale green shirt with beige shorts as he walked beside the actress.
As the couple stepped off their water taxi, Braun appeared amused, flashing a playful smile while admiring Sweeney’s lace ensemble.

On Thursday Sweeney enjoyed a romantic gondola ride with Braun and the pair shared a very steamy kiss.
The Euphoria star wore a white summer dress with a yellow jumper draped over her shoulders as she kissed the mogul.
Talent manager and record executive Braun wore blue shorts, a white shirt and a backwards baseball cap.
Prior to their trip to Venice, Sweeney was spotted in Los Angeles with Braun, whom she has been romantically linked with since last September.
The couple were joined by Braun’s three children – Jagger Joseph, 11, Levi Magnus, nine, and Hart Violet, seven – whom he shares with his ex-wife Yael Cohen.
Braun tied the knot with Cohen in 2014 but in 2021 their marriage came crashing down when he filed for divorce, which was finalised in 2022.
Sweeney looked affectionate with Braun’s kids on Monday afternoon as they went for a stroll after school before stopping for smoothies.
It marked a major development in the couple’s romance, which began months after they met at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s Venice wedding in June of last year.

After ending her engagement to longtime partner Jonathan Davino at the beginning of last year, when she started seeing Braun, sources said: ‘Sydney and Scooter are still seeing each other and trying to be as low-key as possible, while still dating and having fun… They are just taking things slow and enjoying their time together.’
By December, it was revealed the couple were ‘serious’: ‘Scooter and Sydney are going strong and things between them are great. They’re in a committed relationship, and things are serious.’
In January this year, Sweeney was asked about speculation around her love life, to which she said: ‘Sometimes I’ll think that I can do a normal thing and have a date in a normal way, and then it gets perceived in a very non-normal way. It’s kind of sad.’
On going public with a romance, she said: ‘I understand that I’m a public person, but I’m still in my 20s. I’m still figuring out love, and it’s hard to do that with millions of people who have their own opinions of what that looks like…
‘At the same time, for all of my 20s, I put my head down and focused on work – and now I want to experience things. But it’s hard deciding that I want to experience love in the public eye. I’m just navigating it all.’
In May, Braun said: ‘I’ve met an extraordinary woman who is kind and generous and smart, and real and down to earth.’
