This Hollywood blonde bombshell ‘it’ girl has been working for a long time.
Long before this movie star took the town by storm with her strong performances and va-voom image, she was a doe-eyed redhead.
She starred in films and hit red carpets as a tween in her effort to make it big.Â
Her career began in Seattle when she scored commercial acting jobs. When she was 13 she talked her parents into moving to Los Angeles with her so her movie dreams could come true.
The child debuted on television in 2009 with a small part in an episode of the series Heroes. Her first film role was in the 2010 horror comedy ZMD: Zombies of Mass Destruction.
Then she played supporting roles in television shows such as 90210, Criminal Minds, Grey’s Anatomy and Pretty Little Liars before she was cast in Everything Sucks!, Sharp Objects and Under the Silver Lake.

She had a recurring role in The Handmaid’s Tale and was Along Came the Devil before she as noticed in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Her breakthrough was in Euphoria.
This diva is now 28-years-old and has several high-profile movies on her calendar. Can you guess who she is?Â
She is Sydney Sweeney.
Sweeney has found bigger fame with her role in The White Lotus. Her recent films are Americana, Anyone but You, Immaculate and Eden.
She is now promoting Christy, a biopic about boxer Christy Martin.
As of 2025, Sweeney is set to co-star in The Housemaid, an adaptation of the bestselling novel of the same name and she is attached to play Kim Novak in Scandalous.
In late October, Sweeney said she hopes to inspire other women to ‘flaunt what they got.’
The actress insists that the public’s perception of her doesn’t necessarily chime with the reality, with Sydney explaining that she’s much more than just a ‘sex symbol’.
She told Variety: ‘I play a lot of very divisive characters, and I think that a lot of people think they know me, but they don’t.

‘So when people think, “Ah, she’s a sex symbol,” or “She’s leaning into that,” I’m like, “No, I just feel good and I’m doing it for myself and I feel strong.”
‘And I hope that I can inspire other women to be confident and just flaunt what they got and feel good because you shouldn’t have to apologize or hide or cover up in any room.’
Sydney also insists that she’s firmly in control of her own career.
The Hollywood star shared: ‘Being an actress, it’s a lot harder to stand in the room and demand your worth and for people to look at you and value you.
‘I have to remind myself like, “Hey, Syd, you’re actually powerful. Stand up a little taller.”‘
Sydney has enjoyed a meteoric rise over recent years – but she previously admitted that she’s still ‘navigating’ fame.
The blonde beauty told ES Magazine in 2023: ‘I think I’m still navigating it on a daily basis because I want to be as authentic and genuinely open to the public and my fans as possible. And I think I am.

‘I talk a lot, I’m very open and it’ll probably be to my detriment, but I don’t know how people can hide behind an image. At the same time, I don’t owe people answers.’
Sydney explained that she still wants to have her ‘own peace and private life.’ She dates Scooter Braun.
She said: ‘I’m a very private person when it comes to my family and relationships. I want people to know who I am as an individual but also, I feel that I should still be allowed to have my own peace and private life as well.
‘It’s a weird balance, I’m definitely still figuring it out.’
