Sydney Sweeney is starting 2026 with confidence and glamour. The 28‑year‑old actress posed nude for her sexiest ever shoot as one of the cover stars of W Magazine’s Best Performances issue. With only her hands protecting her modesty, Sydney stunned in the sizzling photos, styled with loose curls and a seductive gaze.
The daring shoot marks a turning point in her career, coming just days after she broke her so‑called “box office curse.”
Breaking the Curse With The Housemaid
Sydney’s latest film The Housemaid debuted to a strong $19–20 million opening weekend, proving she can carry a movie to success. The psychological thriller, where she plays a housekeeper for a wealthy couple hiding dark secrets, held its own against blockbuster competition like Avatar: Fire and Ash.
This triumph follows a string of films that failed to make an impact, including Americana, Eden, and Christy. Fans and critics alike are calling The Housemaid her breakout box office hit.
Talk of a Sequel
Sydney has already hinted that she hopes to continue the story. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, she said: “I think that we’ll just have to wait and see. I hope that the audience loves the movies just like we love the books. And we can continue to hopefully share that love within more of the films.”
Her co‑star Amanda Seyfried was even more confident, saying: “Listen, if it doesn’t do well, you can call it off, but if it does, well, it’s absolutely a franchise.”
With strong box office numbers and growing fan interest, talk of a sequel is already buzzing.

Sydney’s W Magazine cover places her alongside Hollywood heavyweights Emma Stone, George Clooney, and Dwayne Johnson in the Best Performances line‑up. The recognition cements her status as one of the most talked‑about stars of the moment.
