Sydney Sweeney's Bikini Body In Question: 'Photoshop Fail Is Embarrassing'

Sydney Sweeney is no stranger to making headlines, whether it’s for her powerhouse performances on "Euphoria" or her red-hot photoshoots that ignite the internet. But with that spotlight comes both adoration and scrutiny, especially when it comes to her body. The actress has openly acknowledged the pressure of growing up in Hollywood under the constant gaze of social media, once telling fans that she tries to block out the noise and focus on self-love. Still, her bikini posts continue to prove just how divided fans can be.

The 28-year-old actress took to Instagram to share a sultry shot from the beach at sunset, rocking a light blue string bikini as she strutted barefoot along the shoreline. With her wet, tousled hair cascading down and the golden glow of the sky behind her, Sweeney looked like she stepped straight out of a magazine cover. In the snap, she playfully tugged at her bikini top while flashing her toned abs and long legs against the mirror-like reflection of the wet sand.

But not everyone was focused on the cinematic vibe of the photo. The comments section quickly lit up, with some followers praising her as a “real beauty” while others were distracted by what they claimed was a major retouching misstep. “Girl this Photoshop fail is embarrassing,” one critic bluntly wrote, racking up double-digit likes. Another piled on, asking, “Where is her THIGH?!” suggesting the edit warped her body proportions.

Others, however, were quick to defend the actress, steering the conversation back to her looks. “Beautiful rack,” one fan bluntly commented, while another simply wrote, “WOW.” One follower tried to cut through the drama with positivity, calling her “real beauty.”

This isn’t the first time Sweeney has found herself at the center of body talk, and lately, she’s been leaning into the wild fan obsession head-on. Back in May, the actress sparked one of the most bizarre headlines of the year when she teamed up with Dr. Squatch for a limited-edition product that literally bottled up her bathwater.

Announced on May 29 in a joint Instagram post, the collaboration revealed Sydney’s Bathwater Bliss, a bar soap marketed as being made with Sweeney’s “actual bathwater.” “You kept asking about my bathwater after the @drsquatch ad … so we kept it,” the caption teased. The soap, which quickly went viral, also features notes of pine, Douglas fir, and earthy moss.

“When your fans start asking for your bathwater, you can either ignore it or turn it into a bar of Dr. Squatch soap,” Sweeney said in an official press release. She admitted the idea was “weird in the best way,” but praised the collab for being both unforgettable and functional. “It actually smells incredible and delivers like every other Dr. Squatch product I love. Hopefully, this helps guys wake up to the realities of conventional personal care products and pushes them towards natural.”

Naturally, the internet lost it, with some fans calling it iconic marketing genius and others labeling it “gross.”

Sweeney turned heads yet again in a playful new post that set Instagram on fire. The "Euphoria" star rocked a sultry brown lace bikini while posing with a friend in one snap and striking a daring, pole-climbing pose in another. Her confident energy and toned physique had fans swooning, with the comment section quickly filling up with fire emojis, heart eyes, and praise for her bold display.

Sweeney lit up Instagram once again, this time with a sun-drenched snap that has fans swooning. The "Euphoria" star was captured lounging on the grass in a delicate white lace romper that showed off her long legs and effortless beauty. With her tousled waves spilling over her shoulders and a glowing smile, Sweeney looked every bit the carefree summer goddess.

The comments section quickly filled with love and admiration, with one fan calling her “The queen,” while another gushed over the “Beautiful view.”

Wrapping things up with a more wholesome moment. In the snap, the "Anyone But You" actress traded sultry poses for puppy love, rocking a floral bikini while hanging out on the beach with her dog. With her hair pulled back in a playful ponytail and a smile plastered across her face, she was caught mid-laugh as she offered her furry friend a snack. Fans couldn’t get enough of the softer side of Sweeney, flooding the comments with heart emojis and praise for the star’s down-to-earth vibe.
