Her Physical Attributes Spark Debate About ‘Woke’ Culture
Since coming into the spotlight, Sweeney has sparked a cultural debate as some conservatives now brand her physical attributes as a blow to woke culture.
The actress made headlines in one of Canada’s top newspapers, the National Post. “Are Sydney Sweeney’s breasts double-D harbingers of the death of woke?” the headline read.
The controversial headline came after Sweeney appeared on “Saturday Night Live,” and attention was drawn to her physique in the comedic sketch humorously satirizing the stereotypes associated with her overtly sexualized image.
According to Amy Hamm of the National Post, societal attitudes toward beauty are shifting, challenging the idea of diversity and inclusion.
“We’ve spent years being chastised for desiring or admiring beauty – because beauty is rare and exclusionary, and to exclude is to hate – or so we’ve been scolded to accept by today’s diversity, equity, and inclusion fanatics,” Hamm wrote, per the Daily Mail. “We aren’t supposed to admire Sweeney’s beauty, but we’ve done it anyway. The times, they are a-changing.”
Richard Hanania, an outspoken critic of woke culture, also shared a video of Sweeney’s performance online, declaring, “Wokeness is dead.”

Sydney Sweeney: ‘People Forget I’m Playing A Character’
Amid the intense debate about her physical attributes, Sweeney has stated that she is unsure of how to approach the matter, as it has become politicized.
In an interview with Variety, Sweeney said, “I see it, and I just can’t allow myself to have a reaction. I don’t know how to explain it—I’m still trying to figure it out myself.”
She added, “People feel connected and free to be able to speak about me in whatever way they want, because they believe that I’ve signed my life away. That I’m not on a human level anymore, because I’m an actor.”
During a chat with The Hollywood Reporter, the actress expressed the same sentiment: “People forget that I’m playing a character. They think: ‘Oh, she gets naked on screen, she’s a s– symbol.’ And I can’t get past that.”
The Actress Almost Underwent Breast Reduction Surgery
In an interview with Glamour UK, Sweeney opened up about the pressures and insecurities she faced during her teenage years, particularly regarding her bust size.
The actress revealed that she considered breast reduction as a way to alleviate the discomfort she felt about her body when she clocked 18, but for her mom, who warned her against it.
“When I was in high school, I used to feel uncomfortable about how big my boobs were, and I used to say that when I turned 18, I was going to get to make them smaller,” Sweeney recounted.
She continued, “And my mom told me, ‘Don’t do it. You’ll regret it in college.’ And I’m so glad I didn’t. I like them. They’re my best friends.”
