This weekend all anyone can talk about is the wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his new wife Lauren Sanchez. The pair tied the knot in Venice with a guest list that rivals the Met Gala red carpet, which means we’ve gotten plenty of serious fashion inspiration – and envy – on how to do summer occasionwear right.
However between wedding events, the guests were also snapped around Venice, including Sydney Sweeney who nailed the Italian way of dressing for the heat. Wearing a £2855 V-Neck Jumpsuit in Silk Georgette from Chloe, Sydney’s effortlessly chic look is ideal for the summer heat, and good news for bargain hunters, because we found a fantastic alternative for just £30.

One reason Sydney’s black playsuit is such a hit is because it’s the perfect combination of floaty, sexy and sophisticated, all whilst exuding the kind of glamour Italy is known for. If you don’t want to splurge on her luxury piece, this ASOS DESIGN Double Cloth Gathered Bust Playsuit is a fantastic alternative.
Priced at £30, the playsuit mirrors the breezy laid back silhouette of Sydney’s Chloe jumpsuit, with a fitted waist, loose fitting A-line shorts and a sleeveless bodice. It also features plunging V-neckline, which keeps your modesty in check with a series of carefully placed ties which can be adjusted to fasten as loose or as tight as you like.
The tie front also gives the illusion of having a similar neck scarf detail to Sydney’s, however you could also add your own chiffon scarf to recreate the look. If you want something with a little more coverage that you could easily wear year round, this For The Moment Mini from Free People is ideal.
It has long billowy long sleeves which gather at the wrist to create volume, with a v-neckline and a smocked waist to give it a flattering silhouette. Priced at £88 it is a mini dress, rather than a playsuit, however it captures the vibe of Sydney’s look beautifully.
However the ASOS Double Cloth Playsuit is versatile in its own right, and can be just as easily worn with a pair of tights, biker boots and wool coat in the winter as with a pair of sandals in the summer. It’s made from 100% cotton, so it’s breezy and lightweight to wear whilst still being hard wearing and comfortable.
You can still shop it in all sizes from a four to an 18, or opt for the Curve version which offers sizes from 18 to 30. If black isn’t your colour, you can also nab it in several other shades.
With buttermilk yellow, green and pale pink colourways to pick from you can nail the summery look without breaking the bank. But if it’s Sydney’s timeless Italian style you want to copy, the black version should be winging its way to your wardrobe ASAP.
