ACTRESS Sydney Sweeney used the Met Gala’s after party to seemingly take a swipe at a film producer who claimed she “isn’t pretty” and “can’t act”.
Sydney, 26, wore a brown MiuMiu backless dress — and a dark wig that looked remarkably similar to tormentor Carol Baum’s hairstyle.
An insider said: “Sydney’s wig was the talk of the Met and everyone was commenting on it at the after party.
“It definitely looked like she was having a dig at Carol by wearing it because it looked so much like Carol’s hair.
“If Sydney wanted to make a statement, she definitely did.”
Last month, executive producer Baum, whose credits include Father Of The Bride, mocked Sydney for her turn in rom-com Anyone But You.

She said: “She’s not pretty, she can’t act.
“I don’t get Sydney Sweeney.”
She called the film “unwatchable”, adding: “I wanted to know who she is and why everybody’s talking about her.”
Euphoria actress Sydney later responded by wearing a jumper that read: “Sorry for having great t**s and correct opinions.”

Sydney took a break from promoting her new film Immaculate to attend the gala in New York.
At the gala, she appeared in a one-shoulder, light blue ballgown paired with long, black gloves.
The black wig remained in place.
As she set off for the event, her hairpiece was covered by a black veil dotted with rhinestones.
Since finding fame in Euphoria, she has become one of Hollywood’s most in-demand actresses.
But the pressure of her back-to-back schedule has taken its toll, with Sydney admitting: “I still can’t get my mind to shut up, and I don’t sleep.”
Working hard is ingrained into her, however.
She said: “I had no idea getting into this industry how many people have connections.
