Cheeky In A Thong Bikini

Sweeney's thong bikini was a white number with black trimmings. Its top was a classic triangle cut with the cups small enough to give her followers a generous view of her cleavage and side boob.

One critic typed, "lol… why do you want to show off this way? There are other hobbies than trying to get attention from people. It's unattractive when people try to just show off their body all the time for nadaaa."

Sydney Sweeney Has 'Great Jeans'

Sweeney's commercial with denim brand American Eagle sparked a lot of controversy online earlier in the year.

This was largely due to one of the ads where Sweeney says, "Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color… My 'jeans' are blue."

The ad went viral in no time, with many critics slamming it for being racist, promoting white supremacy, and aligning with Nazi propaganda.

Although the backlash seems to have died down now, there are still a few people who hint at it in the comment section once in a while.

Sweeney Graces The Cover Of The Wall Street Journal

Sweeney looked ethereal on the cover of the Wall Street Journal's September issue. Its cover page featured her in a sleek white silk ensemble, bold statement earrings, and a classic chignon that exuded elegance. Inside, readers were treated to a series of artistic shots featuring the star in several sophisticated looks.

It's clear that although her career may have taken a hit earlier in the year, the "Echo Valley" star is bouncing back in style.
