Sydney Sweeney has officially turned up the heat by announcing the launch of her upcoming lingerie line — and the jaw-dropping photos say it all.
On Tuesday, the 28-year-old actress took to social media to announce the Jan. 28 launch of SYRN (pronounced “sye-rin:”) with sizzling new promotional photos.
“I was in the 6th grade with DDs. I hated the bra I had to wear,” Sweeney said in a statement via a press release obtained by Fox News Digital. “When I bought my first cute bra that actually fit, I wore it to pieces. Designing for different bodies is a huge part of SYRN.”

“I wanted to create a place where women can move between all the different versions of who we are,” she continued. “I love working on cars, I go water skiing, I’ll dress up for the red carpet then go home to snuggle my dogs. I’m not one thing, no woman is.”
“Lingerie is such a fun way to express yourself,” she added. “You get to feel feminine, and you get to feel powerful. You get to keep it all for yourself, if you want.”

SYRN offers 44 sizes, ranging from 30B to 42DDD, with most styles under $100. The lingerie line is structured into four core personas that shape the style of the pieces: Comfy, Playful, Romantic and Seductress.
The Emmy-nominated actress has been working on a lingerie line that has received backing from Jeff Bezos and his wife, Lauren Sánchez Bezos, a source familiar with the matter told Us Weekly last year.
“This has been a huge project for her and something she’s been working on for the last year,” the source said.

Her brand was also backed by Ben Schwerin, a partner at private equity firm Coatue.
The private equity firm recently launched a fund focused on investing in high-growth public and private tech companies. The family offices of Bezos and PC company founder Michael Dell have committed to provide $1 billion of the initial capital for the fund, according to The Wall Street Journal.
A pitch deck seen by the Journal indicated the fund aims to invest between 20% to 50% of its assets in private investments with the rest earmarked for public stocks.
One day before announcing the line, the “Euphoria” actress appeared to climb the iconic Hollywood sign in the dead of night in an effort to share a message ahead of the upcoming launch.
In a video obtained by TMZ, Sweeney — wearing black cargo pants, a black hoodie and a black hat — hung a clothesline of bras over the sign all while being filmed.
According to TMZ, Sweeney and her team received a permit from FilmLA to shoot near the Hollywood sign. However, they did not have permission to climb or touch the sign.
In an email sent to TMZ, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce — which owns the intellectual property rights to use the image of the Hollywood sign — confirmed that Sweeney did not have clearance to go that far.
“There was no permission granted to do this, as is required,” the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce told the outlet.
According to the outlet, Sweeney could be at risk of being charged with criminal trespassing and/or vandalism.
Representatives for Sweeney did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
The LAPD told Fox News Digital that there is currently no investigation. “No crime was committed,” the representative stated.
