Sydney Sweeney's backdrop for her latest swimsuit photoshoot is nothing short of otherworldly. The 28-year-old star of "Euphoria" took to Instagram on Sunday, September 14th, to share that she embarked on a "little trip to Mars," accompanied by a fresh batch of captivating images. In the carousel's lead photo, Sweeney strikes a solo pose atop a rocky outcrop amidst a serene body of water, donning a daring, cleavage-revealing black one-piece swimsuit adorned with a zipper detail at the bust and complemented by sleek black shades. The backdrop, a striking tableau of rocks and hills, evokes the rugged terrain of the "Red Planet."
Additional footage from her escapade captures Sweeney aboard a boat with a friend, leaping into the water from a towering cliff, and leaving her mark by inscribing “Syd” in mud on a rock. In the latter snapshot, her back is mostly turned to the camera, showcasing a playful white one-piece swimsuit. The same outfit reappears as she stands within a clay-red rock formation, again with her back facing the lens.
Another photo in the collection features the "Voyeurs" actress crouched down, wearing a sheer beige top. Sweeney accessorizes with a tan straw cowgirl hat that partially obscures her face, as she shoots a sultry glance at the camera. She later sheds the cover-up to reveal a glittering, golden bikini.
One of the final shots in her post is a belated birthday tribute, showing the "White Lotus" actress donning a festive “Happy Birthday” headband. The "Immaculate" star, who celebrated her 28th birthday on September 12th, beams and waves to the camera while clad in an oversized T-shirt. Her birthday treat—a delectable pizookie—sits invitingly on a table in front of her.
Sweeney made a stunning appearance on the red carpet at the 2025 Emmys, exuding bombshell glamour in a classic red gown. The low-cut, strapless custom Oscar de la Renta dress was perfectly paired with 175 carats of Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, which the "Anyone But You" star wore with confidence. Her jewels included a 120-carat diamond necklace with a 40-carat marquise drop, 30-carat pear-shaped diamond drop earrings, and 25 carats of diamond rings.
Earlier this month, Sweeney graced the Toronto International Film Festival for the September 5th premiere of her new film, "Christy." The biopic chronicles the life of boxer Christy Martin. For this special occasion, Sweeney opted for a light pink Erdem gown that cinched at the waist and gathered at her hip with a striking red detail before flaring out into a small train.
Recently, Sweeney found herself at the center of controversy over her American Eagle “Great Jeans” campaign. Critics of the ad argued that using the word "jeans" as a play on "genes" carried racial undertones and hinted at genetic superiority. Just before her TIFF premiere, Sweeney informed Vanity Fair that she would not entertain any questions related to her American Eagle campaign while in Toronto.
"I am there to support my movie and the people involved in making it, and I’m not there to talk about jeans," she stated in the interview published on September 4th. "The movie’s about Christy, and that’s what I’ll be there to talk about."
