Sydney Sweeney shows off her curves in figure-hugging dress as she receives gong for boxing flick Christy
SYDNEY Sweeney is in knockout form in a 1950s cream gown.
The Housemaid actress, 28, wore the fitted gown to the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, where her and Wuthering Heights actor Jacob Elordi, 28, held hands after each being honoured with the Virtuosos Award.
Sydney, who won for boxing flick Christy, said: “We were actually fighting.
“We were breaking noses, we had bloody noses, I had a concussion.
“It was very real. I sent them all care packages afterwards – I felt really bad.”
Christy was based on the incredible life and career of champion boxer Christy Martin.

Martin married her coach Jim Martin – despite being a lesbian – before he tried to KILL the fighter by stabbing and shooting her.
The boxing great – who later married her former opponent Lisa Holewyne – survived the attack while Jim was jailed for 25 years.
Martin’s sensational story was played out on the big screen by Sweeney – who went under a dramatic transformation for the role.
She trained for three months with a boxing coach before filming while also doing weights and having a nutritionist.
Sweeney worked out up to three times a day – while piling on the pounds with a fast food diet of Chick-fil-A and milkshakes.
