Sydney Sweeney, known for her role in the HBO series *Euphoria*, has sparked a stir with her latest Instagram post, showcasing a high-cut wetsuit that left little to the imagination. The 26-year-old actress playfully labelled the images "a thirst trap", embracing the attention her revealing swimwear garnered.
Sweeney's Instagram post, shared on August 16th, documented her recent boating trip with makeup artist Melissa Hernandez and hairstylist Glen Coco Oropeza. The photos captured the actress enjoying the sun in her daring wetsuit, which featured a plunging zipper neckline.
However, Sweeney's day on the water wasn't solely about soaking up the sun. The *Immaculate
star also took on a new challenge: wakesurfing. In a video shared on August 11th, Sweeney gracefully navigated the waves generated by a speeding boat, even managing to catch a bottle of Bai iced tea thrown to her by a friend on the towing craft. "Kind of proud of myself," she wrote, acknowledging her impressive feat.
Sweeney's candidness about her appearance has not gone unnoticed, with many commenting on her physical attributes rather than her acting abilities. She has addressed this trend in interviews, acknowledging the systemic issue of objectification in Hollywood.
"There's so many people out there who are like, âOh, she's famous because she showed her boobs," she told *GQ
magazine earlier this year. "You just learn the system."
Sweeney has previously poked fun at this tendency, quipping during her *Saturday Night Live
opening monologue in March that her "backup plan" for breaking into Hollywood was to "show boobs."
Despite the challenges of navigating the industry, Sweeney remains resolute in her approach. As she shared with *Today*, "I kind of just have to take [it] day by day and just keep being myself."
Sweeney's latest Instagram post showcases her willingness to embrace her own style, even if it attracts attention for reasons beyond her acting talents. Her adventurous spirit and self-assured nature continue to captivate audiences, proving that she is much more than just a "thirst trap".
