Sydney Sweeney has given fans an inside look at her wild Shrek-themed Friendsgiving celebration with Scooter Braun and a large group of friends.
While appearing on Good Morning America earlier this month, the actress, 28, teased that every attendee would be assigned a character from the animated franchise and would be required to show up in full costume.
Although this prompted one of the anchors to joke that she would be carving turkey with green face paint, presuming she would go as Princess Fiona, the two-time Emmy nominee surprised everyone by dressing as Dragon, Donkey’s fiery wife.
For her Shreksgiving party, the Euphoria star rocked a plunging red sequined leotard, black tights, stilettos and a horned headband as she threw herself into the role.
In the film series, Dragon is introduced as a fearsome villain guarding Princess Fiona’s tower before later becoming Donkey’s unexpected love interest.
Sweeney leaned into the playful transformation, posing beneath a man dressed in an inflatable Donkey costume and cozying up to a cardboard Shrek cutout during the festivities.
Some fans even speculated that Braun may have been dressed as Donkey, in an attempt to fly under the radar and go incognito while still joining in on the fun.

She posted the photos to Instagram with the understated caption ‘friendsgiving week,’ which included pictures from multiple themed events, locations and days.
The slideshow began with a raucous night out in the Florida Keys, where Sweeney and her girlfriends were seen bar-hopping in LED cat-ear headbands, drinking from plastic cups and singing karaoke as they clung to one another onstage.
Group photos showed the friends dressed as a full cast of Shrek characters, including Gingerbread Man, Pinocchio, Fiona, Puss in Boots, Lord Farquaad and Robin Hood, with Sweeney beaming at the center of the lineup beneath a ‘Welcome to Far Far Away’ sign.
The actress also documented a separate oceanfront dinner where she and her friends wore matching purple leis as they gathered around a candlelit table decorated with tropical flowers.
Another image showed her dressed in a schoolgirl outfit at what she labeled the ‘1st Annual Camp Cocomo Spelling Bee.’
The excursions continued with a detour to Disney World, where Sweeney was recorded skipping toward Cinderella’s Castle in denim shorts and a festive sweatshirt while grinning at the camera.
She then appeared to cap the festivities with a boat day in the Keys, standing at the edge of the deck in a white bralette and linen trousers as palm trees and turquoise water stretched out behind her.
Additional photos showed her and several friends cruising around in a vintage baby-blue open-top car, flashing peace signs and laughing in the sun.

The actress’s unusually elaborate Friendsgiving arrives amid a busy period in both her professional and personal life.
On Friday, Sweeney was pictured riding a jet ski with Braun near her $13 million waterfront mansion located at the Florida Keys in southern Florida.
Sweeney and Braun, who used to work with Justin Bieber, have been seen in Florida all week as they chose to spend the Thanksgiving holiday together.
The pair seem to be doing very well even though they have been dating for only a few months.

Insiders recently told The Daily Mail that the pair’s romance has escalated quickly behind the scenes.
‘They talk every day and see each other often, it is hot and heavy,’ a source shared. ‘I don’t want to say the L word, but it feels like the L word.’
The source added that Braun has become a grounding presence amid Sweeney’s skyrocketing fame, describing him as an ‘old soul’ who offers guidance as her career continues to explode.
The duo were first linked over the summer after crossing paths at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s lavish wedding, months after Sweeney ended her engagement to longtime fiancé Jonathan Davino.
While early reports suggested the two were ‘casually dating,’ their increasingly public appearances suggest the connection may be more serious than initially believed.

A source told Entertainment Tonight that both Sweeney and Braun are keeping their relationship ‘low-key.’
‘They were both overwhelmed by the backlash they received from news of them dating coming out. They thought the hate was blown out of proportion,’ the insider said.
In September, the couple were seen holding hands as they had a blast during Horror Nights at Universal Studios in Hollywood.
‘The attraction is she is hot as can be,’ an insider told the Daily Mail. ‘He gives great advice. They have what each other wants.’

Since going public with their romance, Sweeney and Braun have been spotted enjoying dates together across the country.
Earlier this month, the two stars held hands during an excursion in New York City – shortly after her ‘screaming’ fight with ex-fiancé Jonathan Davino.
Sweeney raised eyebrows after she was seen quietly slipping into a car with her ex-fiancé in Los Angeles.
Photographs captured the two-time Emmy nominee ducking down in the passenger seat with Davino behind the wheel.
But their apparent amiability seemed short-lived. TMZ reported that, at one point, the star screamed: ‘I don’t believe you. Please leave, leave me alone.’
The former couple called off their engagement, earlier this year, after about seven years together.
