Euphoria star Barbie Ferreira dazzles in a plunging silver gown in Milan

Euphoria star Barbie Ferreira dazzled in a plunging silver gown which displayed her cleavage rose tattoo as she attended a Swarovski exhibition in Milan. 

The actress, 27, who played Kat Hernandez in two seasons of Euphoria, stepped out for the Masters of Light – From Vienna To Milan exhibition during Milan Fashion Week on Sunday. 

For the Menswear Spring/Summer 2025 show at Palazzo Citterio, Kat put on a racy display in a plunging metallic figure-hugging gown – which showed off the actress’s tattoo of a rose.

Kat’s halterneck dress came complete with a corset bodice and a bedazzled satin shawl to match.

She paired the look with strappy heels, a sparkling diamond choker and bling pendant necklace with matching earrings, as well as a collection of glitzy rings. 

Kat’s dark brown locks were styled in messy voluminous waves and she opted for a silver eye look to match the dress. 

Last year, Barbie revealed a desire to ‘not portray a fat best friend’ led to her quitting the hit show, as rumours of tension between herself and showrunner Sam Levinson swirled.

Barbie told the Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard podcast in March 2023 that storylines for the character would not have ‘done her justice’ and that Sam didn’t bond with Kat.

Barbie shocked in 2022 when she announced to her 5.8million followers that she would not be reprising her role for Euphoria’s third season – but insists it was a mutual decision.

She told Shepard: ‘I don’t think there was a place for her to go. I think there were places she could have gone. I just don’t think it would have fit into the show. 

‘I don’t know if it was going to do her justice, and I think both parties [Sam and I] knew that I really wanted to be able to not be the fat best friend.’

 ‘I don’t want to play that — and I think they didn’t want that either.’ 

The star added it was a ‘struggle’ to find storylines for her character in season two, leading to a much-decreased presence in the show. 

‘I just felt like, maybe it’s like I overstayed my welcome a little bit? 

‘So, for me, I actually felt good to be like, “Okay, I get to not worry about this and we both don’t get too worried about this,” because it’s exhausting.’

She also claimed Sam didn’t bond with her character and  ‘only writes for things that he relates to’.

She said:  ‘I like Kat, so I get to go on my own path. At first, I was like, “Oh, my God, I’m a flop. I’m a loser.” [But] It really has been a good thing.’

Announcing her departure from the show in August, Barbie wrote on Instagram: ‘After four years of getting to embody the most special and enigmatic character Kat, I’m having to say a very teary eyed goodbye.

She continued: ‘I hope many of you could see yourself in her like I did and that she brought you joy to see her journey into the character she is today.’

Barbie concluded her post, by writing: ‘I put all my care and love into her and I hope you guys could feel it. Love you Katherine Hernandez.’

Prior to her time on the series, Barbie only had a two-episode arc in Divorce and two short films to her credit.

Her character quickly became a fan favourite after the first season, though fans noticed her screen presence was significantly diminished in the second season.

Just before the season ended, a report from The Daily Beast surfaced, claiming Barbie clashed with showrunner Sam.

The report claimed that the tension even got so bad that Barbie walked off the set and that this friction lead to her diminished screen time.
