Sydney Sweeney burst onto the scene as Cassie Howard in hit show Euphoria back in 2019, and has been a Hollywood fixture practically ever since. She's been nominated for Emmys, starred in The White Lotus, won over critics (and Rotten Tomatoes too) in her latest film, Reality, and is due to make her Marvel debut in Madame Webb next year – all while filming Euphoria season 3 and becoming a fashion world darling serving look after epic look on the red carpet. It's a wonder she's been able to fit it all in – and at the humble age of 25, no less.
But never one to rest on her laurels, Sweeney is adding yet another string to her bow: a swimwear collaboration with LA-based brand Frankies Bikinis. It all started when Sweeney wore the brand's hot pink Gemma one-piece during an iconic scene in Euphoria – inadvertently spawning a mad rush to purchase it and a 500 person-strong waitlist to boot.
'I immediately envisioned a collaboration for Sydney to create pieces that truly embody her gorgeous femininity, her bombshell romantic aura, not to mention her numerous talents,' explains Frankies Bikinis founder and creative director, Francesca Aiello.

And so, the Sydney Sweeney x Frankies Bikinis collection was born. Inspired by Italian summer romance, it features some of the sexiest bikinis and one-pieces we've ever seen – all shot on Sweeney herself of course, on location in Rome.
Think lingerie-inspired details, lace trims, ruffles, beading and sultry cut-out silhouettes as well as an exclusive kiss print created from Sydney's own lips. The collection also includes some ready-to-wear pieces with a serious Euphoria-worthy Y2K aesthetic.
The full collection is out now, and available to purchase online. The first drop came in March (and promptly sold out), while the second has only just been released and includes some even more sultry styles. Our favourites? A gingham corset-style tankini, the playful cherry print separates, and the sweet white lace Bardot-style top with matching mini-skirt. Excuse us while we purchase the lot, and spend the next few months dreaming of wearing them on a romantic Italian holiday of our own...
