Her biggest project this year is the biopic Christy, where she portrays boxing legend Christy Martin. To prepare, Sweeney went through a stunning transformation.
She trained in kickboxing and weightlifting, dedicating months to mastering the movements of a professional fighter. She also gained over 30 pounds of muscle to capture Martin’s athletic physique and commanding presence. Behind-the-scenes clips and early production photos reveal an almost unrecognizable Sweeney, throwing sharp punches and moving with total confidence.
The film will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) 2025, and early buzz suggests it could be a career-defining role. Fans and critics alike are eager to see Sweeney step into such a physically demanding and emotionally rich performance.
Beyond the big screen, Sweeney grabbed headlines with her American Eagle campaign, cheekily titled “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans.” The playful wordplay became an instant viral moment.
While some loved the humor, others criticized the ad for promoting narrow beauty ideals. The situation escalated when Donald Trump praised the campaign, suddenly turning a lighthearted fashion ad into a politically charged conversation.
Sweeney, however, remained unshakable. She avoided public arguments and allowed her fans to rally in her defense. The viral moment only amplified her profile and reinforced her reputation as a star who can handle Hollywood’s toughest spotlights with grace.
Sweeney is also dominating the red carpet. Her 2025 looks reflect her growing confidence and range:
A butter-yellow Danielle Frankel tulle gown at a film screening brought soft, romantic drama.
A sleek white Armani column gown at the Berlin Film Festival delivered minimalist chic.
Each appearance showcases her versatility and cements her status as a fashion risk-taker. In a year where she’s redefining herself professionally, her style is evolving just as boldly.
With several projects lined up including The Housemaid, Barbarella, and Euphoria season three Sydney Sweeney is everywhere. She’s proving she can move effortlessly between viral moments, physically demanding roles, and high-fashion red carpets.
In 2025, she isn’t just having a moment. She’s building a legacy, one fearless move at a time.
