One glance at Sydney Sweeney’s pics from her space-themed birthday party this past weekend, and millennials all over the world are transported back to 2008.
While Sweeney’s star-studded silver mini dress stuns all on its own, it’s a throwback to Britney Spears’ Circus album era, where she was photographed wearing the exact same dress nearly two decades ago.
The look in question is part of The Blonds’ Spring/Summer 2009 collection, which featured over-the-top glamour, incorporating elements like corsets, glitter, spikes, and intricate embellishments, often with a theatrical or cabaret influence.
The design duo is having quite a week — they also made headlines with Taylor Swift donning a velvet bodysuit in a promo for the Target-exclusive “Crowd Is Your King” “Life of a Showgirl” vinyl release.
Sweeney’s shoes were by Italian shoe designer Rene Caovilla.
Styled by Molly Dickson, the 28-year-old birthday girl took to Instagram to share a carousel of photos from her party, captioning the post “welcome to planet syd ????????????”
The first photo doubles down on the Spears recreation, sitting on one hip, legs tucked beneath her in an identical pose to the original.
What follows is an epic star-studded event, with everyone dressed in space-themed costumes, from aliens to astronauts.
Guests included Wiz Khalifa, Diplo, Glen Powell, and Lauren Sanchez Bezos, to name a few.
The theme seemed on point with her birthday trip to Utah a few weeks ago, where she referenced the location as a “little trip to Mars” on her social media.
While Spears herself was not in attendance, the nod to her early-aughts style was truly out of this world.
