Sydney Sweeney Tried To Be Zendaya…But Became Cassie
Jul 12, 2026
Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney both became two of the biggest stars to come out of Euphoria, but somehow their careers have been treated completely differently?? In this video, I’m diving into the difference between Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney’s careers after Euphoria, from Rue and Cassie to Dune, Challengers, Anyone But You, Madame Web, Sydney’s public image, the Glen Powell rumours, the American Eagle jeans campaign controversy and the male gaze. Why is Zendaya taken seriously while Sydney Sweeney is constantly picked apart? How did Zendaya escape the Euphoria image while Sydney became more tied to Cassie than ever? And what does this say about fame, beauty, Hollywood, public image, and the way young actresses are treated?
