What's old is new again. First, Jennifer Lawrence brought back a Givenchy dress from 1996 at tonight's Vanity Fair Oscars after-party, and now Sydney Sweeney is digging into the fashion archives as well. Specifically, she wore the very same Marc Bouwer dress that Angelina Jolie wore to the 2004 Academy Awards. It's been two decades, but the dress is still as chic as ever! That plunging neckline, that beautiful sash—it's sustainable fashion at its finest.

Sweeney even accessorized with a custom Messika necklace that's very similar to Jolie's OG jewels. By choosing this dress and styling it similarly, Sweeney and her stylist, Molly Dickson, wanted to make clear their appreciation for Jolie's fashion prowess. Scroll down to see how Sydney Sweeney revived an Oscars classic 20 years later.

Erin got her start as aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
