Sydney Sweeney has wowed fans with her dramatic new look for an upcoming role. Sweeney, known for her roles in Euphoria, The White Lotus, and Immaculate, is usually easily recognisable. Her long blonde hair often gives her away, but recent photos from her new film show a striking transformation.

The forthcoming project, still untitled, features Sweeney portraying Christy Martin. Martin, a former professional boxer, clinched the WBC female super welterweight title in 2009. This new film will spotlight Martin’s life and career.

Photos from the North Carolina set reveal Sweeney in character, her blonde locks replaced by dark brown curls. She trades her usual glamorous outfits for sweatpants and a tank top, showing off newly acquired muscles. In some images, she wears a bandana, while in others, she sports a baggy sweatshirt and white trainers.

Fans are amazed by her transformation, eagerly anticipating the film. One Twitter user commented, “Wow… What a transformation by Sydney Sweeney for this role. Can’t wait to see it.” Another added, “Looks entirely different!! Super excited for Sydney and curious to see how she will do in a biopic type role.” A third fan wrote, “Didn’t even recognise her at first!!”

Many have noted her physical change, with one saying, “Yo she getting buff, hell yea! Hype…” Another added, “She’s got some biceps.”

Previously, Sweeney discussed her involvement in film projects with The Los Angeles Times, describing herself as a ‘very hands-on collaborator’. She mentioned, “I like being able to give ideas, be a part of it, help come up with solutions. It just changes the whole process.” She continued, “It’s so hard for me now to be on a set and not be able to help in any type of way and be able to take action. And being able to actually have a voice and have a valued opinion—it means so much.”
