The 67-year-old used her basic instincts as she defended the 28-year-old at Variety's Power of Women event on Wednesday.

Sharon, who presented Sydney with an award that evening, said of the Christy star's jeans campaign, "It's okay to use what mama gave you. It's really fine."

"It's hard to be hot, and I think we all know that," the Casino actor continued.

"It's really okay to use every bit of hotness you have, right here, right now, and go for whatever that is, because everybody has their own certain kind of hotness, their own certain thing, and you're supposed to go for that.

"Because who are you not to be beautiful? You know, who you are isn't an accident."

Sharon further shared that she likened the uproar over Sydney's ad to late conservationist Jane Goodall's Life Magazine cover while discussing the situation on the set of Euphoria.

"Other scientists said, 'Well, she only got the cover of Life Magazine because she had good legs.' And Jane said, ‘Well, if I did, then that helped me get more money for my research,'" Sharon said.

"Sydney said, 'Yeah, and I'm sure I made a billion dollars for the jeans company, and I'm good with that. Because, you know what? I'll get another job."

Sharon Stone praises Sydney Sweeney's "comfortable and centered" self

After being presented with her award, Sydney told the crowd that Sharon means "so much to" her.

The Bobby star, meanwhile, told Variety that she's impressed by Sydney's "understanding" of herself, adding, "She's comfortable and centered and safe within herself."

Sydney flaunted that confidence earlier this week when she faced some new backlash for her opening monologue for Game 4 of the World Series on Tuesday.
