Euphoria stars Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney put on stunning dueling displays as they hit the red carpet for the premiere of the hit HBO series’s third season on Tuesday night.
Zendaya and Sweeny both glowed in contrasting gowns, with the 29-year-old Dune actress putting on an edgy display in a dark brown halter look, while the 28-year-old White Lotus actress made an angelic display in a clinging white dress.
They were joined at the premiere in Los Angeles by their costars on the high school drama, including Jacob Elordi, Hunter Schafer, Alexa Demie and Maude Apatow, as well as the show’s creator and showrunner, Sam Levinson.
The new season, which premieres on HBO on Sunday, April 12, is returning nearly four years after the conclusion of season two.
Euphoria picks up five years from where it left off, with most of its returning cast now out of college, Levinson told Variety in December.
Zendaya’s character, Rue, is still struggling with drug addiction, but she has moved to Mexico in an attempt to escape drug dealers whom she owes money to.

Sweeney’s character, Cassie, has landed in suburbia with Nate (Elordi), and the two will tie the knot in the third season.
Nate’s former high school girlfriend, Maddy (Demie), is now working at a talent agency in Hollywood, while Lexi (Apatow) also works in the film and television industry as an assistant to a showrunner who’s played by Sharon Stone.
Season three also marks the final on-screen appearance of Eric Dane, who played Elordi’s father and died in February at 53 after a battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Zendaya set pulses racing with her skimpy dark brown ensemble, which was nearly black.

The satin dress featured a long train, as well as a slit revealing Zendaya’s matching brown heels.
She complemented the chic ensemble with her hair, which was tied back tightly in a bun to give it the appearance of a pixie cut.
