Sydney Sweeney has traded red carpets and camera flashes for adrenaline and altitude. Amid a busy schedule of press, premieres, and controversy, the 'Euphoria' actress stepped out of the spotlight and into the sky for her first skydiving experience.
Wearing a daring black catsuit, the actress captured the moment and shared it with fans. “Probably the coolest thing I’ve ever had the opportunity of doing,” she wrote on Instagram. “Thank you @lukeaikins for a memory of a lifetime.”
The footage shows the 27-year-old star harnessed to aerial stunt pro Luke Aikins as they leap from a plane mid-flight. The sleek, zip-down, body-hugging suit drew immediate comparisons to Catwoman, though Sweeney went makeup-free, and her blonde hair was styled into casual French braids.
The look was paired with white sneakers and simple studs, looking effortlessly cool even thousands of feet in the air. Fans were quick to praise her fearless moment. “You are the coolest person ever,” one follower wrote.
Others celebrated her return to social media after a brief hiatus that followed backlash over an American Eagle campaign. "If you think the HATERS TROLLED Sydney in her jeans," one fan commented, "imagine how they're gonna implode when they see her in a parachute."
Just days before the skydive, her indie film 'Americana' debuted to underwhelming numbers, pulling in a modest $850,000 across 1,000+ U.S. theaters. Despite a cast that includes Halsey, Eric Dane, and Simon Rex, the movie stalled outside the box office’s top 15.
Still, Sydney’s summer has had multiple highlights. She recently returned from a star-studded celebration in Venice for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez-Bezos’s wedding. She also introduced fans to her new puppy, Sully, and sparked dating rumors after being spotted in northern Idaho cozying up to a mystery man.
Taking a step back from the chaos of Hollywood, she spent a quiet lakeside weekend with family and friends, plus one unidentified companion who raised eyebrows. In candid photos, the duo shared romantic moments, including a jet ski ride (where she took the wheel), a cliffside rope swing, and even a playful dunk into the lake.
The getaway came just months after her quiet split from fiancé Jonathan Davino. The pair had been together since 2018 and got engaged in 2022, but reportedly ended the engagement earlier this year.
