Sydney Sweeney is once again dominating timelines (and comment sections) after a sultry lingerie snap set Instagram ablaze, sparking a wave of mixed reactions. The “Euphoria” star turned heads after a fan account resurfaced a striking photo of Sweeney posing in black lace lingerie, complete with sheer gloves. With soft glam makeup, loose waves flowing over her shoulders, and a bedroom-ready pose, the image quickly drew thousands of likes and fire emojis from fans who couldn’t get enough. But not everyone was cheering.

While many followers flooded the comments with praise, calling the look “outstanding,” “very appealing,” and “next level,” a handful of critics popped up too, with some bluntly labeling the actress “fake” and one user admitting, “you lost me.”

This isn’t the first time Sydney Sweeney has found herself at the center of online criticism.

Just a few days ago, the “Housemaid” actress faced backlash after sharing footage of herself throwing bras on the famed Hollywood sign in Los Angeles, a publicity stunt that the owner of the iconic landmark says was carried out without the required permission. Sweeney posted an Instagram video showing herself and a camera crew hiking up Mount Lee in the middle of the night, scaling the hillside to reach the towering letters before pulling bras from duffel bags and draping them across the sign.

Backlash was swift, with the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which owns the trademark rights to the sign and its likeness, speaking out against the stunt, criticizing the unauthorized use of the landmark for commercial purposes.

Sydney Sweeney’s latest lingerie moment isn’t the first time her image has ignited a heated online debate. Most recently, the “Anyone But You” star found herself at the center of controversy after sharing images from her racy Cosmopolitan cover, reigniting long-standing conversations about sexualization, feminism, and celebrity responsibility.

The glossy spread, which featured Sweeney in a plunging pink lingerie look, drew a wave of mixed reactions from fans and critics alike. While many praised the actress for owning her sexuality and embracing classic bombshell energy, others questioned whether the imagery contradicted past discussions around objectification in Hollywood.

“It would be nice of you to stand out and really be a real voice for women (or any other community),” one user wrote in part as another echoed, “Alright this might be getting a little played out at this point.”

A third commented, “I just don’t think we need this,” as another recalled when Sweeney hinted that she does not want to be sexualized, “but that’s all she does.”

That debate only intensified after Sydney Sweeney shared more photos of her lingerie brand, SYRN. Calling the reveal “no explanation, no apology” lingerie made “for YOU,” Sweeney leaned directly into the conversation surrounding her image, making it clear she wasn’t interested in toning anything down.

The post quickly racked up millions of likes, but the comment section once again reflected a split reaction. While fans praised her confidence and applauded her taking control of her own brand narrative, others questioned why she is posting about lingerie when there are “more important things going on in the world.”

The conversation hasn’t just stayed online. Sydney Sweeney is now addressing part of the backlash head-on. In a new interview with Cosmopolitan, the star pushed back against commenters who have made assumptions about her political views, making it clear that politics were never her intention.

“I’ve never been here to talk about politics. I’ve always been here to make art, so this is just not a conversation I want to be at the forefront of,” Sweeney told the outlet. The actress has increasingly been labeled as conservative by some critics, particularly after a jeans ad she filmed for American Eagle sparked controversy online.

At the end of the day, Sydney Sweeney is showing that despite the noise, she isn’t backing down.
