In a new feature for W Magazine, Sweeney revealed she found it easy filming nude scenes, stating that she sees the female body as something not to shy away from.

"I don't get nervous," she shared. "I think that the female body is a very powerful thing. And I'm telling my character's story, so I owe it to them to tell it well and to do what needs to be done."

Sweeney, who became widely recognized for her provocative role as Cassie in HBO's "Euphoria," posed for a bold and eclectic photo series alongside the interview.

In one shot, she rocked a candy-striped bralette with coordinated tights, shorts, and a helmet. Another captured her in edgy black leather shorts and a matching cap. She also slipped into a fiery red mini dress with thigh-high socks and heels, exuding retro glam.

Sydney Sweeney Recounts Throwing A Prom For Her 26th Birthday

During the interview, Sweeney took a nostalgic detour as she recounted throwing herself a vibrant 1980s-themed prom for her 26th birthday, making up for the fact that she never attended her actual high school prom.

"I actually didn't go to my prom, but on my 26th birthday, I threw myself a 1980s prom," she said. "And it was so much fun! I rented out the venue and put streamers and disco balls everywhere."

Sweeney continued: "I built a cool disco stage and had letterman jackets that you could customize. I had an old-school photo booth and a caricature artist. I made my grandma the prom queen and my lawyer the prom king. I had a short custom dress made pink with ruffles."

The conversation then shifted to Sweeney's roots and the unwavering support she received from her family.

According to the Daily Mail, she recalled how, as a determined young girl, she once "created a PowerPoint presentation of a five-year plan to convince her parents that they should take her to Los Angeles."

"My mom told me from a very young age to fall in love with as many things as possible," she said. "And so I did fall in love, again and again: I love sports. I love being outside. I was on the ski team, and I wakeboarded. I slalom ski on water. I was on the soccer team and the softball team. And then my parents got me into grappling, which is like wrestling, and kickboxing."

Sweeney added, "I was the only girl at the dojo. I trained there from 13 until about 19. I fought all guys. I liked to think that if sh-t went down, I might be able to step up."

The actress is undoubtedly aware of her sex appeal as she recently went viral for selling her bathwater in soap bars.

The "Anyone But You" star made waves when she announced a new partnership with the men's grooming brand for a limited-edition line of bar soaps that include an unusual key ingredient: her actual bathwater.

Following an initial Dr. Squatch commercial, where Sweeney appeared in a bubble bath, several fans humorously took to social media to demand that her bathwater be featured in the soap, and the brand heeded their call, which has now resulted in a teal-colored bar of soap called Sydney's Bathwater Bliss.

"You kept asking about my bathwater after the @drsquatch ad…" she captioned a post. "So we kept it."

During a recent appearance at the New York premiere of her latest film, "Echo Valley," Sweeney shared more details on the origins of the viral soap.

When asked about the unique product, she told E! News, "I pitched it!"

Addressing the online chatter, Sweeney commented, "I think it's more fun to see everyone else talk about it."

According to Dr. Squatch, Sweeney's bathwater bar soap sold out in seconds after release on June 6 for $8. The price, however, ballooned to a staggering $2,000 on eBay.
