Sydney Sweeney has quite the rise in the last few years.
While she's been acting since she was 12, she didn't get her big break until she was cast in three major shows in 2018 and 2019: The Handmaid's Tale, Sharp Objects, and Euphoria.
She's never been shy to admit that her body had something to do with the delay. And now — thanks to her low-rise skirt at the MTV Movie Awards — she's sparked controversy again.
"As an actor, you always want to play younger, especially when you're under 18, because you can work longer hours if you're 14 playing a 10-year-old than if you're a 10-year-old playing a 10-year-old," she said.
She believed that this tampered with her career for many years. "And so I was 14 years old auditioning for these 10-year-olds, and people would look at me and be like, ‘No.'”
"It was so crazy to me because I was like, 'But when I was 12, I had these boobs.' It was this standard that girls didn't have a body unless they were an adult."
"I was getting shamed for having a developed body at a young age. It was really hard because then I was constantly trying to hide myself and hide my body."
"They're like, 'Oh yes, now you can have boobs because you're an adult.' It was a mind [expletive]," she told the publication.
This time, it's over the all-pink glittery micro-mini skirt paired with a super-cropped collared top by Miu Miu. The skirt hung low on her hips and showed off her toned midriff.
"What in the early 2000’s is this?" someone commented on a video posted by WhoWhatWear. "Not me thinking this was a throwback post," another wrote.
But just as it did back then, Sweeney's low-rise revealing outfit triggered some body insecurity in some.
"Low rise NEVER AGAIIIN! Young generations: learn from the pst!! Don’t ruin your body!!!" others added.
We've yet to see plus-size models like Ashley Graham or Paloma rock it. Until this happens and everyone feels represented, there is only one type of body type that fits this look — and therein lies the problem.
