She was praised for her sensitive yet impactful portrayal of a young woman navigating love, heartbreak and personal struggles. She further showcased her versatility by playing complex characters in “The White Lotus” and “Sharp Objects”.
However, Sydney is in no mood to step back. She has a series of upcoming movies lined up with the most recent one “Christy” to be released on 7th November, 2025.

Sydney has made headlines not just for her professional achievements but was surrounded by controversy after appearing in an American Eagle ad campaign titled “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans” in August 2025. The campaign's pun which played with the words “genes” and “jeans” met with a lot of criticism for having unintended racial and eugenic overtones, especially given Sydney’s status as a white, blonde actress.

Amidst the storm, Sydney maintained her composure and handled the controversy with grace and diplomacy, emphasizing her goal of encouraging self-expression and confidence.
