Jamie Lee Curtis had a wholesome reaction to Sydney Sweeney's show-stopping NSFW silver dress.

The Freakier Friday and Anyone But You stars crossed paths at Variety's Power of Women event on Wednesday night (October 29).

Sweeney, 28, stepped out in a sheer, fitted Christian Cowan x Elias Matso crystal dress, opting to leave the bra at home.

As Curtis and Sweeney met at the event's red carpet, Curtis looked astonished as she pointed up and down at Sweeney before enveloping her in a hug.

Fans have dubbed the viral moment 'women empowerment.'

Both actresses were honored at the Gala; Curtis supporting Children's Hospital Los Angeles and Sweeney supporting the National Center on Domestic and Sexual Violence.

Naturally, Sweeney's risque outfit drew attention on social media, where not everyone agreed on the daring look.

Some thought it was a bit too much, slamming the sheer gown as 'unclassy' and 'cheap.'

Others, however, thought Sweeney looked 'perfect' and hailed the outfit 'immaculate.'

Actress Kate Hudson, singer-songwriter Nicole Scherzinger, comedian Wanda Sykes and gymnast Aly Raisman was also honored at the high-profile event.

It comes as Sweeney spoke out about the unsettling advice she was given as a teenager in the acting industry.

The star has often found herself the target of Botox and plastic surgery rumors.

And she decided to set the record straight in an interview with Variety.

She explained that she has never done anything of the sort and even revealed a concerning piece of ‘advice’ she was given while auditioning at just 16-years-old.

On the rumors, Sweeney said: “I’ve never gotten anything done. I’m absolutely terrified of needles. No tattoos. Nothing.

“I’m going to age gracefully. It’s really funny. I’ll see things online like ‘comparison pictures.’ I’m like, ‘I’m 12 in that photo.' Of course I’m going to look different. I have makeup on now and I’m 15 years older.”

Despite insisting she hasn’t had anything done, a casting director didn’t think this was a good idea when she was starting out in the industry.

Speaking about one time she went for an audition, she said: “I have very strong eyebrow muscles.

“And I had someone tell me to fix my face or else I’m not going to make it. I should get Botox. I was 16! Or I’m in a casting and I’m reading my scene and the casting director is eating a bag of chips, and I’m like, ‘You’re not paying attention at all.'”
