Actress Sydney Sweeney Showcases Lingerie Line in Bedtime Selfie
Sydney Sweeney, the 28-year-old star of the hit HBO series ‘Euphoria,’ recently shared a captivating self-recorded video showcasing pieces from her own lingerie brand, SYRN. The actress was seen lounging in bed, modeling a striking deep burgundy two-piece set, featuring a low-cut crop top and matching cheeky panties.
The clip, shared on the official Instagram page of her brand, was simply captioned, ‘Date Night with Syd.’ Sweeney appeared to embrace a natural look, with minimal makeup and her signature ash blonde hair styled in loose waves. This intimate promotional post comes as the actress is currently in Australia, filming a new movie and reportedly enjoying time with her boyfriend, 45-year-old Scooter Braun.
‘Euphoria’ Creator Defends Controversial Storyline
The timing of Sweeney’s lingerie showcase coincides with a strong defense of her character’s storyline in ‘Euphoria’ by the show’s creator, Sam Levinson. Following weeks of criticism regarding the explicit OnlyFans plot arc for Sweeney’s character, Cassie Howard, in the latest season, Levinson addressed the backlash on ‘Real Time with Bill Maher.’
Levinson explained his decision to explore the world of OnlyFans and sex work on the show, citing its significant growth. “If you look at OnlyFans, it is making as much money as Hollywood. I mean, essentially it’s on par,” Levinson stated. “It’s not a niche business, it is a massive enterprise.” He further elaborated on his motivation to examine the “long-term consequences” for young individuals entering such fields, particularly in the age of social media where self-branding is paramount.
“And I just thought chasing that desire, that kind of fast cash, was an interesting thing to kind of explore,” Levinson recalled. He acknowledged the significant criticism the show and its cast received for these scenes, questioning whether the same level of backlash would occur if the narrative were to “affirm this life.” Levinson asserted that the show takes a “fairly critical look at it,” suggesting that such pursuits can lead to an individual feeling hollowed out and overly dependent on external validation.
Sweeney’s Perspective on Her Character’s Choices
Sweeney herself has previously commented on the controversial plot, emphasizing her role as an actor portraying a character. “I’m playing a character,” she stated in a recent interview. “She has a need to be validated by other people. She doesn’t know how to love herself unless someone else loves her. So I understand how Sam got her to where she was in season three.”
The actress added that her character was drawn to the idea of receiving love and recognition, feeling that her world was expanding through these online interactions. The third season of ‘Euphoria’ featured Cassie Howard in increasingly revealing scenes, engaging in online role-playing for paying clients.
