When Sydney Sweeney graces a cover, the world stops to take in every detail. In the Summer 2025 issue of W Magazine, the American actress proved that beauty is not just about appearance but an art of transformation.

Photographer Carlijn Jacobs turned Sweeney into a true “Miss Universe” of a new era. On the main shot, she wears a Miu Miu dress, De Beers earrings, and that signature voluminous bouffant hairstyle that instantly recalls the aesthetics of beauty pageants. Yet there’s not a hint of kitsch here — only elegance, confidence, and a touch of irony.

Sydney herself admitted: “I like the feeling of transformation.” And that’s evident in every look of the shoot.

Stylist Allia Alliata di Montereale curated a collection worthy of the red carpet: Celine by Hedi Slimane — a romantic ’70s hippie in a floral dress; Hermès — a daring biker in leather boots; Prada, Balenciaga, McQueen, Fendi, Marc Jacobs — ranging from strict classicism to bold avant-garde. Each look is a new heroine, like on a film set where Sydney feels completely at home.

This photoshoot is not just a fashion lookbook. It’s a manifesto of feminine versatility. Today you’re a delicate floral nymph, tomorrow a fierce biker. And in every version of yourself, you remain strong, beautiful, and confident.
