Sydney Sweeney Stands Up to Bullies Who Criticize Her Body by Sharing Stunning Photos from Bold Photoshoot

Sydney Sweeney has shared some daring rooftop photos while simply wearing an unbuttoned cardigan and showcasing her toned figure.

Following criticisms from online trolls who body-shamed her, the actress responded by posting images showcasing her physical transformation for her role as boxer Christy Martin.

Sydney Sweeney also recently called out Hollywood’s “fake” women empowerment culture, claiming it’s all a “front.”

Sweeney recently turned heads in a bold rooftop photoshoot in New York City.

In the images shared on Instagram, the 27-year-old actress posed confidently in an unbuttoned brown knit cardigan paired with blue jeans, white sneakers, and a small Miu Miu handbag.

One striking pic captures her leaning back, the cardigan falling open to reveal her toned figure, while a video features her lifting the designer purse to cover her chest.

Sweeney captioned the post, “rain rain go away.”

The daring shoot comes after Sweeney seemed to clap back at trolls who criticized her appearance with a powerful video montage shared on Instagram.

The clip began with screen grabs of scathing comments, labeling her “too pale,” “frumpy,” and “a 5 at best.”

Some trolls went as far as calling her “average,” comparing her to Miss Piggy, and suggesting she “might be an Ozempic candidate.

In response, the “White Lotus” star showcased her incredible transformation, sharing photos and videos from her intense training for her upcoming role as boxing legend Christy Martin.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Sweeney called out the “fake” culture of Hollywood’s supposed commitment to “women empowering other women.”

“It’s very disheartening to see women tear other women down,” Sweeney told the publication. “Especially when women who are successful in other avenues of their industry see younger talent working really hard — hoping to achieve whatever dreams that they may have — and then trying to bash and discredit any work that they’ve done.”

The actress and her team recently had to fight back against a female producer, Carol Baum, who questioned her looks and talent.

While Sweeney did emerge stronger, the experience made it evident to her that the women’s empowerment rhetoric was nothing more than a façade.

“This entire industry, all people say is ‘Women empowering other women.’ None of it’s happening,” the “Euphoria” star noted. “All of it is fake and a front for all the other sh-t that they say behind everyone’s back.”

In the interview, the “Euphoria” star tried to explain why she has a strong opinion of Hollywood, linking it to how women are often raised to see each other as competition.

“I mean, there’s so many studies and different opinions on the reasoning behind it,” Sweeney said.

She theorized that the behavior stems from a “generational problem – to believe only one woman can be at the top.”

Sweeney explained: “There’s one woman who can get the man. There’s one woman who can be, I don’t know, anything. So then all the others feel like they have to fight each other or take that one woman down instead of being like, Let’s all lift each other up.”

Expressing her frustration, she added: “I’m still trying to figure it out. I’m just trying my best over here. Why am I getting attacked?”

In an earlier Instagram post, Sweeney looked wholly transformed for her latest role as professional boxer Christy Martin.

She shared a behind-the-scenes moment, posing in costume alongside Martin, both holding up their fists.

In the caption, she wrote: “We have wrapped filming Christy Martin’s story and it has been one of the most emotional, transformative experiences of my life. Christy’s journey is so deeply inspiring, and having her by my side during this process was nothing short of surreal.”

She reflected on emotional moments during filming and how Martin would cheer her on through the process.

“Knowing what she’s endured, what she’s pushed through to be there in that moment—it made me want to cry,” Sweeney admitted.

Sweeney was recently spotted soaking up the sun at her luxurious $13 million waterfront mansion in the Florida Keys as she flaunted her toned figure in a chic swimsuit.

For the pre-Christmas relaxation session, the “Madame Web” star wore a purple-patterned bikini top paired with matching bottoms.

Her blonde hair was tied in a messy updo, keeping her face free from loose strands. She kept her accessories minimal, wearing small earrings and trendy black sunglasses.

According to the Daily Mail, the actress was seen lounging comfortably on a sunbed to stay warm and even took a refreshing dip in the nearby pool during her leisurely day.
