Sydney Sweeney and the Toxic Standards of Beauty – A Lesson in Misogyny’s Persistence

Published

on

Sydney Sweeney

Sydney Sweeney, celebrated for her roles in Euphoria and The White Lotus, has found herself at the center of social media controversy—but not for her acting. This time, it’s for daring to look like a regular person.

In candid photos taken at her home in the Florida Keys, Sweeney was seen wearing a simple bikini, minimal makeup, and untied hair. What followed was an avalanche of online criticism, highlighting the toxic beauty standards and misogyny that persist in society.

The backlash against Sweeney reveals a troubling truth: even those celebrated for their elegance and talent aren’t safe from harsh judgments. This incident is a reminder of the pressure women face to conform to impossible ideals, proving that the fight against these standards is far from over.

The Incident – A Snapshot of Misogyny

The photographs, shot without Sweeney’s consent, capture a sabbatical moment far removed from the stylised elegance of red carpet glamour. For some online groups, though, these uncensored moments were interpreted as betrayal. Trolls called her “mid,” “fat” and, perhaps most significantly, a “catfish” — adopted in this context to describe making the public believe that she’s making up and looking like an actress. 

Incel and toxic masculinity spawned the protest, and its response revealed a deeper problem: women’s obsession with how they look, and the unattainable norms to which they are subjected. 

One of the most insidious tweets juxtaposed Sweeney’s bikini pic with a sexy red carpet pic, with the tagline: “This should be illegal. This is why misogyny is a problem.”’ The irony of the line, accusing a woman’s skin colour of perpetuating centuries of gender inequality, was obvious to many. 

Women, in turn, came to her side, calling into question the distorted reasoning of the trolls. “What isn’t beautiful about these pictures?” wrote one commenter, before correcting herself with: ‘Those men who call her a catfish are merely showing that they have no real experience of women. 

Sweeney’s Response – Grace Under Fire

Sweeney herself handled the scorn with characteristic grace. In posting some of the cruel messages on Instagram, she juxtaposed them with a video of her intense boxing session, a rehearsal for her forthcoming role as the female boxing great Christy Martin. That move was a jab but a testament to her fortitude, a reminder that the opinions of those around her would not define her. 

We’re not talking about a single celebrity caught in the crossfire. It’s a mirror of society’s institutionalised biases. This backlash against Sweeney reflects the way in which women, successful or beautiful, are whittled down to what they look like and humiliated for seeking to move away from ideals.

If a star such as Sweeney is called “not good enough,” then it’s immediately clear: it’s not the women who are the victims that have problems, it’s the lens through which the critics are viewing the images. 

We as a society are better than this. The dialogue that Sweeney’s case has brought into play shows how far it has yet to go to abolish misogynistic aesthetics. It reminds us that being human is beautiful — and no one needs to feel guilty about being human. 

And for Sydney Sweeney, this chapter won’t define her. But for everyone else, it’s a time to consider how we treat women in the public sphere.

Kanye West was wearing an all-black suit along with his signature sunglasses. And, Bianca Censori was seen wearing a completely see-through dress on Grammys 2025 red carpet.

According to the Standard and Practice Wardrobe Advisory issued by CBS in 2013, Bianca Censori’s apparel may have breached multiple regulations set by the network’s Program Practices.

The advisory says that all on-camera people, including guests and audience members, have to follow strict wardrobe guidelines. Specifically, buttocks and female breasts must be adequately covered. It prohibits garments that expose the under-curves of the breasts, buttock cleavage, or excessive skin in the genital area.

On her 29th birthday, Kanye West posted several pictures of Censori on Instagram with a caption, “Happy birthday to the most beautiful super bad iconic muse inspirational talented artist masters degree in architecture 140 IQ loving by my side every day. When half the world turned their backs on me and the most amazing stepmom to our children. I love you so much thank you for sharing your life with me.”

Despite the controversy, Bianca Censori will not face any legal action for her Grammys attire. The Los Angeles Police Department said on the same that no formal complaints were filed against Censori at the Crypto.com Arena on the night of the awards.

LA-based lawyer Andrea Oguntula said in an interview with Page Six, “While Ms. Censori’s outfit undoubtedly pushed the envelope, a charge of indecent exposure in California requires willful public exposure of one’s genitals with the specific intent to offend or sexually arouse. It’s theoretically possible but unlikely she’ll face any criminal prosecution for this incident.”

Lily Phillips announced this challenge after Bonnie Blue’s world record where she slept with 1,057 men in just 12 hours. Lily announced she would be having an*I s*x with as many guys as possible.

This has raised concerns about her health and even Lily has admitted that something could happen. Lily said she was on Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) which is a medication to reduce the risk of HIV.

She said “Stuff can go wrong, it’s a con of being in our industry. I make sure everyone is tested but if someone tests the week before and then has sex in between it’s something I can’t really stop.”

When asked about her backdoor challenge, Lily Phillips said, “I’ll probably stop eating, I also wear a butt plug for quite a while the day before, and then the morning of I’m douching quite a few times, making sure everything’s cleaned out. Then I usually go in with toys and really stretch it out quite a bit.”

Lily Phillips also gave an interview to The News Movement and said “I am taking PrEP to prepare for my upcoming a**l challenge, but the risk of STIs is just the nature of my job. PrEP is a drug that reduces the risk of getting HIV. It can be taken by anyone but is commonly taken by men who have sex with other men due to the increased risk of contracting HIV through a**l s*x. My upcoming challenge will include filming myself having a**l s*x with around 60 people. This is a follow-up to my “100 men in a day challenge” and Bonnie Blue’s 1000 men in 12 hours ‘world record’.”
