Sadie Sink's Y2K Butterfly Dress Dazzles

Actress Sadie Sink made a memorable appearance at Disney's D23 showcase in Anaheim, California, on August 14, 2026. She chose a remarkable vintage Alexander McQueen gown from the 2004 archives, a backless slip dress adorned with a distinctive patchwork butterfly wing design and a ruffled skirt. This ethereal Y2K-inspired ensemble was styled with simple heels and her hair in a braid, complemented by a rosy makeup look.

The iconic dress originated from McQueen's "Deliverance" line, drawing inspiration from the 1969 film "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?". This event also served as one of Sink's initial public appearances following her casting as Jean Grey, a mutant with telepathic abilities, in the forthcoming X-Men film. She also surprised fans by debuting a role in "Spider-Man: Brand New Day". Sink discussed her villainous role, noting that her character's actions are entirely justified in her own mind.
