Sydney Sweeney Goes Nude in Gold Body Paint for W Magazine’s Best Performances Cover

The cover doubles as a statement on image control following her recent cosmetic‑rumor denials.

Overview

  • W Magazine released its Annual Best Performances issue on Jan. 6 featuring Sweeney nude in shimmering gold body paint with only a Chopard Haute Joaillerie necklace, photographed by Tyrone Lebon.
  • The shoot nods to Old Hollywood with a blond bob styled in vintage curls, echoing recent Monroe-inspired looks noted in her red-carpet appearances.
  • In the accompanying interview, Sweeney discusses fearlessness, family, early scars, and how she mentally steps out of character after filming.
  • She reflects on portraying boxer Christy Martin, saying the role required a 30‑pound weight gain and made it harder to shed the character’s physical presence.
  • Coverage also revisits her December statements rejecting plastic surgery rumors and highlights her producing role on The Housemaid, which outlets report as a box‑office success with a sequel planned as Christy missed the Golden Globes shortlist.
