Sydney Sweeney has been on quite a journey lately, especially with the upcoming launch of her lingerie brand, SYRN. It’s been building up for months, and I can’t help but be curious about how it will turn out.
In November 2025, she made waves by transforming into boxing trailblazer Christy Martin, gaining about 35 pounds for the role. She mentioned in an appearance on Good Morning America that her body changes were driven by “protein shake after protein shake.” It’s remarkable how she can shift her physicality like that.
Following the release of “Christie,” she made a quick comeback, flaunting her slim figure at the GQ Men of the Year event later that month. I mean, talk about a turnaround! She definitely seemed to embrace the spotlight.
Since late 2025, Sweeney has been actively attending red carpet events, and it seems like her lingerie brand has started heating things up for her.
“Christy”
To prepare for her portrayal of Martin, Sweeney adapted not only her body but also her grandmother’s backyard, transforming it into a makeshift training gym. “It was a lot of fun,” she noted, reflecting back to her roots in Idaho. They converted her grandma’s cabin into what she affectionately referred to as her “Rocky gym.” It’s kind of sweet, really, when you think about family support like that.
They laid down flooring, set up boxing bags, and even had in trainers and coaches. It’s impressive how much dedication went into her training regime, boxing for hours each day. There were some real battle scars to show for it—she mentioned bleeding from her nose and even sustaining a concussion during filming. Sounds intense, right? But that kind of commitment clearly paid off.
30 pounds down
After filming “Christie,” Sweeney lost over 30 pounds in just seven weeks. In a recent interview, she shared how she managed to shed the weight. It seems she had to be quite stringent with herself to achieve her ideal physique.
She admitted that gaining weight during training had been a challenge and described herself as eating everything imaginable, coupled with an avalanche of protein shakes and creatine. However, it seems that the process was also a bit tricky. She soon realized that to attain the toned physique necessary for her role, she had to change her approach entirely. “If you stop working out and start consuming protein shakes, you’ll lose muscle quickly,” she pointed out, highlighting the importance of timing in her diet as well as her workouts.
GQ Man of the Year
At the GQ event, Sweeney flaunted a crushed velvet dress from Versace’s ’95 collection. She won Best Actress that night, embracing the “Party Like 1995” theme, which only added to the excitement of the occasion. It’s interesting, isn’t it, how clothing can evoke such nostalgia?
Her ensemble complemented her looks—thick velvet straps on the fitted bodice and a delicate train give that classic ’90s vibe many seem to love. With her eye makeup styled to match and her hair slicked back, she appeared every bit the star.
Governor’s Award
She also made a statement at the 16th Annual Governors Awards, where she wore a stunning silver sequined off-the-shoulder gown. Honestly, it’s amazing how her fashion choices vary yet manage to capture attention.
House Maid Premiere
At the premiere of her film “The Housemaid,” Sweeney was vocal about the influence of Hollywood icons like Marilyn Monroe and Pamela Anderson. She showed off a breathtaking sequined dress that really turned heads. It’s fascinating to look at the way she combines influences from the past with her own personal style.
Golden Globe Awards
That’s not all—Sweeney was also a standout at a Golden Globes pre-party wearing a sleek satin dress with a plunging neckline, showcasing her elegance. She certainly knows how to make an impression.
SYRN
Recently, Sweeney announced a release date for SYRN, which is scheduled for January 28th. In her promotional materials, she was candid about her experiences growing up, mentioning how she struggled to find well-fitting bras as a young girl. “Designing for different bodies is a big part of Syrn,” she emphasized, underscoring her commitment to inclusivity.
She has a vision of a brand that allows women to express different sides of themselves—from the leisure of home life to the glamour of a red carpet. Wearing lingerie, she believes, can make someone feel both feminine and powerful, which is such an interesting perspective.
