Sydney Sweeney shows off the 'biggest smile' as she unveils 'dream come true' project after shock makeover
Sydney Sweeney got to check off one of her biggest dreams with a new project she revealed to her 25.2 million Instagram followers on Thursday.
The 27-year-old Euphoria star — who recently debuted a startling makeover — shared that she was launching a new line of tasty frozen treats with Baskin-Robbins in her post.
And like everything she does, she put her stunning looks to good effect in behind-the-scenes footage from the sizzling new ad campaign she filmed to promote the collaboration.
Baskin-Robbins announced on its website that it would be bring the Sweet on Sydney Menu — which the actress co-created — to locations of the scoop shop for a limited time.
The centerpiece of the new line will be the Sydney's Signature Scoop, which features a chocolate-dipped waffle cone filled with rainbow sherbet and decorated with rainbow sprinkles and miniature gummy bears for an odd pairing of sugary flavors that was sure to be controversial with customers.
She also helped create Sydney's Signature Fizz, an upcoming beverage that mixes rainbow sherbet with Starry soda, along with another heaping of miniature gummy bears to top it off.

Customers can get the drink in a special cup that changes colors based on temperature for an up-charge.
'if you know me, you know ice cream always brings the biggest smile to my face :) this was literally a childhood dream come true thank you,' Sydney captioned her post.
She included several behind-the-scenes photos showing her at what appeared to be a real Baskin-Robbins location as she filmed a commercial for the brand.
It appeared to have been filmed on a rainy, overcast day, as she held an umbrella and stood on a wet sidewalk outside the shop in one snap.
The film and TV star flaunted her cleavage in a pale pink tube top that also revealed a hint of her toned midriff.
She paired it with baggy acid wash jeans and chunky white sneakers for a summery feel.
Sydney closed her eyes and showed off an ecstatic smile in other photos inside the shop while posing playfully with a cone frosted with sprinkles.
She also gave her fans a glimpse of the monitor revealing her in a figure-hugging pink dress as she took a sip of her eponymous new drink.

Sydney included her new commercial, which opened with over-the-top footage of her biting into her new ice cream and sipping her fruity drink while wind blew back her hair as she posed against a matching pink backdrop.
But then a cut revealed that she was putting on a show inside a regular Baskin-Robbins store as a confused customer watched her.
A store employee explained to him that Sydney was so obsessed with her new ice cream flavor that she dropped by the store nearly every day to have it.
A humorous montage then showed her showing up for her daily appointment and greeting the employee.
But things started to get out of hand when he turned on the lights to find that she was eating ice cream out of the freezers after hours.
Sydney showed off her iconic long blond locks in the commercial, which was a far cry from the new look she unveiled the day before when the first trailer for Ron Howard's upcoming survival thriller Eden debuted.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach review – a hypnotising arthouse game with an A-list cast
What is Death Stranding 2 trying to say? It's a question you will ask yourself on many occasions during the second instalment of Hideo Kojima's hypnotising, mystifying, and provocatively slow-paced cargo management simulator series. First, because during the many long and uneventful treks across its supernatural vision of Mexico and Australia, you have all the headspace in the world to ponder its small details and decipher the perplexing things you just witnessed. And second, because the question so often reveals something profound. That it can stand up to such extended contemplation is a marker of the fine craftsmanship that went into this game. Nobody is scribbling down notes to uncover what Doom: The Dark Ages is getting at or poring over Marvel Rivals' cutscenes for clues, fantastic as those games are. It is rare for any game to invite this kind of scrutiny, let alone hold up to it. But Death Stranding 2 has the atmosphere and narrative delivery of arthouse cinema. It's light of touch in its storytelling but exhaustive in its gameplay systems, and the tension between the two makes it so compelling. At first you brave one for the other; then, over time, you savour both. For anyone who missed the first Death Stranding, yes, this really is the second in a series of games about moving cargo between waypoints, on foot or by vehicle; delivering packages of food, tech and luxury items, like a post-apocalyptic Amazon driver. A mysterious event fundamentally changed the world at the start of the first game, allowing the dead to return to the realm of the living as spectral entities known as Beached Things (BTs). When a BT kills a human, it creates a disastrous event called a 'voidout', a kind of supernatural nuclear bomb explosion that leaves behind nothing but a vast crater. With humanity fragmented and sequestered in underground bunkers, protagonist Sam Porter Bridges (Norman Reedus) was entrusted with connecting the remaining pockets of civilisation in the US to a global tech infrastructure called 'the chiral network', restoring hope for a better tomorrow. He managed it, too, making it across the entire continent with a sort of supernatural infant, Lou, carried in an artificial womb. As this sequel begins he is enjoying a secluded life in Mexico with Lou, now a toddler. And believe me, those are the scantest cliff notes possible. Death Stranding 2 begins with six solid minutes of cutscenes that attempt to convey the strange world of sci-fi and poetic metaphors that Kojima has constructed, and even that feels like a cursory summary. Decrypting the mysteries is half the fun here (the other half being the box-shifting) but even if you don't engage that deeply with the world, it follows its own kind of dreamlike logic and starts to make intuitive sense. It is not clear whether Death Stranding 2's Australian once looked like the one we know, for example, or whether it was always a patchwork of Icelandic tundra, snowcapped mountains and multicoloured desert. What matters is that it feels consistent. Meditative it may be, but this isn't a game about watching Sam enjoy retirement and fatherhood for 50 hours. He is inevitably called back into action, this time reconnecting the Mexican and Australian populations to the chiral network for an outfit called Drawbridge, a logistics company funded by an unknown benefactor and headed by returning character Fragile (Léa Seydoux). If that sounds a bit dry, what if I told you that Fragile wears a pair of long Greta Garbo gloves around her neck, which she can move like a second set of hands? A swashbuckling gang of assists Sam on his mission, following him around on the DHV Magellan, a ship with more A-listers on board than a Cannes red carpet. Seydoux, George Miller, Guillermo del Toro, Nicolas Winding Refn, Elle Fanning and Shioli Kutsuna all give brilliant performances, as does veteran game actor Troy Baker as chief baddie Higgs. The major characters exist primarily as poetic devices and morbid metaphors: Rainy (Kutsuna) is an ostracised optimist who makes it rain whenever she goes outside; Tarman (Miller) lost a hand to supernatural tar, and can now use it to guide the ship through its currents; Heartman (Darren Jacobs) dies and is reborn every few minutes. By rights, they should all be simply too strange to invoke pathos, but there are rare moments when the allegory is dialled down and they interact in human and poignant ways. If you don't feel a lump in your throat watching Rainy and Tomorrow (Fanning) sing together, it's not just Deadman who is dead inside. Package delivery is, strangely, depicted to the highest of gameplay standards. It sounds boring, but you can't help get pulled in by the magnetic draw of these detailed systems. In the last game, combat felt like an afterthought, but there is more of it this time as missions bring you into conflict with both BTs and other humans, and it is supported by typically slick mechanics that make launching a grenade or snapping a neck feel equally gratifying. You can fabricate tools to take with you – ladders and climbing ropes for mountainous routes, assault rifles and grenades when a fight is likely. The pleasure is as much in the preparation as it is in the action; it feels good to impose some order on an otherwise chaotic and unknowable world. That's probably why we all baked so much banana bread during lockdown. Kojima had a draft for Death Stranding 2's story before the Covid-19 pandemic, but rewrote it from scratch after being locked down along with the rest of the world. You don't have to look too hard to see the influences – a population that is too scared to go outside, governments that promise to save you by putting an end to travel and physical contact, the profound loneliness of Sam's job as a porter travelling solo across barren landscapes. Fittingly, you can interact with other players, but only at a distance, sharing equipment, building structures and leaving holographic signs and likes for other players in their own games. This ends up being a biting piece of lockdown satire – as time goes by the world becomes clogged up with flickering icons, and as more structures appear you are confronted by constant 'like' symbols. It feels like the mind-numbing attention spam of social media, and there's no way this is an accident. The first game had the advantage of surprise. Death Stranding 2 does not. Much of what is good – and what is tedious – about this game was also true of the last, but at the same time it has refined each bizarre element. Combat feels punchier, the world map more hand-crafted, missions more varied. Asking you to do all of that schlepping about all over again in a whole new game should feel like a practical joke, but it is so mechanically rich and loaded with meaning, you just nod and don the backpack a second time. Of the many things Death Stranding 2 is trying to say, the message that comes to the fore is: you are never truly alone. Global disasters, big tech, even death itself – these things might abstract the way we connect to one another, but they can't sever the connection altogether. Not bad for a game about delivering boxes. Death Stranding 2 is released on 26 June, £69.99/US$69.99/A$124.95

Orlando Bloom, 48, and Sydney Sweeney, 27, enjoy a stroll through sun-soaked Venice together the morning after star-studded Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez wedding
Orlando Bloom and Sydney Sweeney were spotted enjoying a stroll through the sun-soaked streets of Venice on Saturday. The Pirates of the Caribbean star, 48, and The White Lotus actress, 27, had been two of many A-listers who flew across from the States to attend the lavish wedding of Jeff Bezos, 61, and his now-wife Lauren Sanchez, 55. Following the ceremony and a star-studded rave into the early hours of Saturday morning, the pair took some time to explore the scenic streets of Venice together on Saturday. Wearing her blonde locks down, Sydney slipped into a floral dress for the morning stroll before adding a few inches to her frame in a pair of red high heels. Meanwhile Orlando sported an all-black outfit consisting of a pair of very short shorts, a Stussy T-shirt, a co-ordinated cap and some shades. After jetting off to Venice for the week of celebrations, the Lord Of The Rings star made headlines after he was spotted in the back of a Venetian water taxi with a woman on Thursday. It came just a short time after news that Orlando and his fiancée Katy Perry, 40, had called off their engagement broke. The woman spotted enjoying an evening with the A-lister was later revealed to be a woman called Jamie Mizrahi, 36, who was actually a former stylist for Katie and Meghan Markle. Orlando was also spotted enjoying a Venetian brunch the following morning and sipping on cocktails poolside with celebrity pals Leonardo Di Caprio and Tom Brady during a boys' day out, while Katy continued her tour in Australia. Meanwhile Sydney - who sparked romance rumours with Tom after they were spotted chatting at a bar - was reportedly the 'most sought after' celebrity in Venice. A source told MailOnline: 'Sydney apparently is the most sought-after person to be around at the Bezos wedding. 'Everyone wants to talk to her and every guy that has been in her presence has talked about how stunning she is in real life.' The Euphoria star looked ethereal for the wedding on Friday, clad in a dazzling pink dress which complimented her blonde locks. Wearing her blonde locks down, Sydney slipped into a floral dress for the morning stroll before adding a few inches to her frame in a pair of red high heels The 27-year-old actress slipped into a pink dress for the evening as she was pictured on a Venetian taxi boat on her way to the wedding on Friday The festivities are set to continue on Saturday night as the A-listers will once again gather for a huge party, though some guests including Kim and Khloe Kardashian left early. Sydney was one of a host of stars to put on their best glam for what was the dubbed 'the wedding of the century'. As ever, all eyes were on the Kardashian sisters - Kim, Kendall, Kylie and Khloe - as they stepped out for another high-profile event. Kylie, 27, displayed her enviable curves in a figure-hugging silver corset dress and a pair of stylish sunglasses. However, she came under fire from some fans who pointed out that her dress looked very close to white in certain lighting. Kylie risked Lauren's wrath with the bold choice since traditionally, white is the color reserved for the bride - and guests are usually urged to steer clear of any colour that may even appear close in order to avoid confusion or steal the spotlight. She was pictured boarding a boat taxi with her sister Kendall, who looked elegant in a black ensemble, on their way to the wedding. SKIMS owner Kim wore the same brown glasses she's sported throughout her few nights in Italy She gave herself a few extra inches in a pair of white stiletto heels as she strutted her stuff to board a boat Khloe carried a vibrant pink designer bag along with her as she boarded the flight at Venice Airport Kendall Jenner (pictured) made her own escape from the wedding, weaving through the city's canals and posing against the breathtaking backdrop of Italy's finest architecture The sisters appeared to be in excellent spirits on the night as they were spotted making their arrival on a boat She put on a busty display in the look and added a statement jewelled necklace to her ensemble She was joined by Khloe who put on an equally glamorous display in a strapless pink gown with a feathered shawl Meanwhile, Kim's outfit was however blasted as 'basic and boring' by fans, as the reality star slipped into a shiny black gown with laser-cut trimmings on its sides. The 200 VIP guests who attended the ceremony on the exclusive San Maggiore island were too invited to an afterparty in the city afterwards. But Kim and Khloe were spotted making a swift exit from the $20million affair by boat as they bailed early and, once again, the Kardashians didn't waste any time leaving Venice on Saturday despite festivities being far from over. The sisters were spotted wearing casual ensembles as they made a low-key exit from the Italian city, presumably to board a private flight back to Los Angeles SKIMS owner Kim, 44, showed off her incredible figure in figure-hugging black leggings and a fitted grey bandeau top, while she sported a pair of aviator shades. Meanwhile, Khloe, 41, also covering her eyes with a pair of shades, cut a trendy figure in an all-black ensemble along with a jacket. Their sisters Kendall, 29, and Kylie, 27, were nowhere in sight as the duo headed out of Venice, as they appeared to be staying in the city for longer. Later in the day, their mother Kris, 69, and her boyfriend Corey Gamble were seen smiling and blowing kisses as they headed off in a water taxi. The celebrations are far from over, with the festivities slated to continue at the Arsenale di Venezia on Saturday night. Friday's wedding, held two years after Jeff proposed to Lauren aboard his $500million superyacht, was described as 'extremely intimate' with a strict no-phone policy - with around 70 of the 200 guests being family members. The only images that emerged of the nuptials came via Lauren's official Instagram account - and photos of guests leaving the night-time celebrations were scarce. Oprah Winfrey was also among the star-studded guest list and looked incredible in a pink dress, showing off her slimmed-down frame There were more celebrities than anyone had predicted, with Leonardo Di Caprio also in attendance Miguel Bezos, the adoptive father of Amazon's founder Jeff Bezos leaves the Aman Hotel on his wedding day of Jeff Bezos with Lauren Sanchez Model Karlie Kloss showed off her shoulders in a clavicle-baring black gown with a choker Bill Gates arrives at the Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez Wedding on June 27, 2025 in Venice, Italy Jeff and Lauren are thought to have splashed out a staggering $20million on their multiple-day extravagant wedding bash. As guests arrived at the reception on Friday, they were welcomed by the stirring sounds of trumpets, violins, and a soulful Gospel choir. That same choir returned to belt out Whitney Houston's Higher Love right after the couple exchanged their vows, with guests cheering and singing along during the heartfelt moment. Opera singer Matteo Bocelli kicked off the wedding reception with a touching tribute, opening his set with the timeless Elvis Presley classic I Can't Help Falling in Love With You. The son of renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli stepped in since his father was tied up with concerts in southern Italy over the weekend. Earlier in the day, award-winning journalist Sanchez made a chic first appearance, stepping out of the five-star Aman Hotel in a sophisticated white Dior puff-sleeve suit, perfectly accessorized with a headscarf and oversized sunglasses. In the photographs, she flashed a dazzling new giant diamond ring that caught plenty of attention. It was revealed ahead of the nuptials that Jeff and Lauren had already legally tied the knot before today's official ceremony on San Giorgio Maggiore island.

Newly-single Orlando Bloom spotted hanging out with Sydney Sweeney in Venice – weeks after she confirmed fiance split
ORLANDO Bloom enjoyed the stunning sights of Venice with equally beautiful companion Sydney Sweeney after they attended the showbiz wedding of the year. The screen star, 48, "made his debut as a single man" at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's A-List nuptials just days after his split with popstar Katy Perry was revealed. 11 Newly single Sydney Sweeney and Orlando Bloom were spotted enjoying a stroll in Venice following Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding Credit: BackGrid 11 Sydney, 27, looked stunning in a black floral midi dress Credit: BackGrid 11 They were joined by a group as they soaked up the sights of the European city Credit: BackGrid 11 Orlando - who was said to be making his debut as a single man at Amazon founder Jeff's wedding - opted for all-black sports attire Credit: BackGrid 11 Sydney opted for red kitten heel shoes for her walk Credit: BackGrid 11 The pair's split was revealed this month Credit: Getty 11 The pair were part of the A List contingent to celebrate Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' wedding top journalist Lauren Sanchez Credit: Reuters The pair, who share daughter Daisy, aged four, had been engaged to be wed following nine years together. Yet after Roar hitmaker Katy, 40, was said to have already told pals their relationship was as good as done - and reports claimed the Lord Of the Rings alum "won't win her back" - the pair appear to be broken up for good. After lapping up the celebration vibes at Jeff and Lauren's the three-day celebration, which saw the happy couple said I Do at the stunning San Giorgio Maggiore monastery in Venice, Orlando, 48, hit the picturesque streets of the Italian city with Sydney, 27. It came after she was spotted leaving the Friday nuptials donning a pastel dress and skyscraper heels. For their outings, she stuck to her summer style with a plunging black froral midi dress. She paired her sleeveless attire with red kitten toe heels and added a pair of sunglasses as she strolled outside next to the Pirates of the Caribbean alum. Sydney left her blonde hair in loose waves over her shoulders but kept a serious expression as they headed out in the sunshine alongside each other, but with the rest of a wider group. The In The Vault star is in a similar romantic position to fellow big screen star Orlando, after having split with her fiance of seven years just months ago. Sydney and Jonathan Davino, who got engaged in 2022, have chosen to spend time apart after their relationship hit the rocks, according to insiders. The pair were part of the 200-strong A List contingent heading to Venice for the wedding - and clearly eager to explore the European hotspot in mode depth. Heartbroken Katy Perry told pals in January that Orlando Bloom relationship was OVER - as star removes engagement ring Other VIPs including Oprah Winfrey and Bezos' stepfather Mike Bezos were snapped leaving their hotels, while security was tight across the city. At least 95 private jets are said to have landed for the occasion. Their wedding venue was recently revealed as an "open air theatre" on the island, while a series of jaw-droppingly pricey hotel suites were also booked out for the happy couple and their guests. Meanwhile, Orlando was seen embracing Keeping Up With The Kardashians alum Kim Kardashian, 44, at the three-day celebration. It came after he was caught "ogling" the Skims founder and Hulu Tv star in an image taken on a night out with popstar Katy, 40. LETTING SLIP It has previously been claimed that Orlando's former fiance Katy - who is on tour in Australia - had told her mates their engagement was over at the start of the year, before removing her engagement ring. A source close to the couple said at the time: 'Katy confided in friends at the start of the year that their relationship was as good as done. 'They decided to hold off on announcing anything in case things improved between them, because they are desperate to stay together for the sake of their daughter. "But they have spent barely any time together this year, with Katy on tour and Orlando working on his upcoming film Bucking Fastard in Dublin. 'She knew that taking off her engagement ring would send a clear message. 'It's been a hard year so far. They wanted to wait until the tour is over before they made their split official, although Katy has grown tired of the situation.' The couple started dating in 2016 and got engaged three years later. However, The Sun understands they had difficult conversations about their future over Christmas and in January but struggled to make a firm decision. Reps for the couple refused to comment when approached about their separation in February and again this week. ALL CHANGE Last week, The Sun reported how Orlando and Katy held crisis talks to try to save their relationship after leading increasingly separate lives. American news website TMZ then said Brit-born Orlando would be 'the life of the party' and that he would be hitting 'the dancefloor hard' when he arrives in Italy for the nuptials. An insider said: 'No one has decided it's definitely the end of the road for Katy and Orlando. 'They both love each other, but they have been living different lives for at least a year and in different mindsets.' It's understood Orlando and Katy are planning on reuniting on July 4 when there is a break in her touring schedule. The insider added: 'They have barely been together for a decent amount of time, without distractions, for many, many months.' Tensions within their relationship also reached boiling point after Katy's flight to space on board Jeff's Blue Origin. Katy, along with Lauren and Gayle King, were hit with a public backlash and those close to Orlando said he had warned Katy about taking part. They said: 'From day one, Orlando didn't think going on the Blue Origin mission was a good idea, and knew she would face a backlash.' 11 Sydney was seen leaving the Italian nuptials in a flowing floral dress Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 11 Orlando, 48, shared an embrace with Kim Kardashian ahead of the ceremony Credit: BackGrid 11 Mum of one Katy is said to have told pals their relationship was over earlier this year Credit: Getty
