Sydney Sweeney put on a very leggy display in tiny metallic shorts and knee-high stockings as she heads out in New York after the Met Gala


The actress, 26, looked sensational as she stepped out in gunmetal-beaded high-waisted shorts and a silky, shimmering blouse.

The biopic starring the Euphoria actress as the Hall of Fame boxer, 55, will be put on the market at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival, according to Deadline, which broke the news of the casting. Director David, whose past credits include War Machine, Animal Kingdom and The Rover, said Christy's rise to prominence in the boxing world in the 1990s makes for a story that producers of the film compared to that of a 'female Rocky' Balboa. Christy, who was Don King's first-ever female client, gained national spotlight in March of 1996 when she captured the World Boxing Council women’s lightweight championship in a bloody Las Vegas bout against Deirdre Gogarty.
