Sydney Sweeney Makes Major Business Move With Lingerie Line Backed By Famous Billionaire
Sydney Sweeney is set to launch a new lingerie line, with a billionaire reportedly backing her. The brand is said to be associated with the private equity firm Coate, which recently received a $1 billion investment from Jeff Bezos. Sydney Sweeney has previously worked with other lingerie brands, including Parade and Frankies Bikinis. The Lingerie Brand Is A 'Huge Project' For Sydney Sweeney Weeks after Sydney Sweeney was spotted at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding in Venice, it has become even clearer why the actress attended the ceremony despite not being friends with the couple. According to reports, she has plans to launch a new lingerie line that appears to be backed by the tech billionaire. Bezos, as reported by Puck, had invested $1 billion in a private equity firm, Coate, whose partner Ben Schwerin is tied to the lingerie brand. While the Emmy-nominated actress has yet to confirm the news herself, a source close to Sweeney claimed the line is launching "very soon," according to Us Weekly. For now, the name of the brand and the type of lingerie to be sold remain a mystery, but what is certain is that it is a "huge project." "This has been a huge project for her and something she's been working on for the last year," the source added about the 27-year-old. The Actress Has Collaborated With Other Lingerie Brands In The Past The launch of the lingerie brand seems long overdue, given that Sweeney had previously collaborated with other lingerie brands. In 2021, she became the celebrity face of Parade's lingerie brand, starring in a campaign lensed by Donna Trope. For the campaign, the star wore a number of punchy, brightly colored pieces featuring ultra-lightweight, silky mesh. Most of the collection increased by 3x, promoting inclusivity for its users. Aside from Parade, Sweeney also collaborated with Frankies Bikinis in 2023. The brand and the actress teamed up to launch a collection titled Love Letters by Sydney Sweeney. The sexy collection featured swimwear and ready-to-wear pieces with delicate embroidery, lace details, romantic transparencies, ruffled jacquards, and a variety of silhouettes. Meanwhile, Sweeney has also served as a brand ambassador for the Italian fashion house Miu Miu since 2022 and has been frequently spotted wearing the brand's iconic designs. Sydney Sweeney's Bathwater Soap And Other Business Moves The actress has been on a roll recently when it comes to monetizing her image and brand. Prior to launching her lingerie line, Sweeney sent fans into a frenzy by collaborating with Dr. Squatch to produce soap bars made with her very own bathwater. It turned out to be a genius idea as the soap sold out in mere seconds for $8 upon its release and subsequently appeared on eBay for as high as $2,000. During a chat with E! News about the business move to sell her bathwater, Sweeney boldly admitted that it was actually her idea: "I pitched it." Following the launch of the bathwater soap, Sweeney announced a new partnership with ice cream franchise Baskin-Robbins for the introduction of the "Sweet on Sydney Menu," a limited-time offering that debuted on July 1. The special offering celebrated the actress's long-time love of Baskin-Robbins with two colorful creations. "Baskin-Robbins has been part of my life for as long as I can remember — it's where a lot of great memories were made, and I still find myself going back pretty often," Sweeney said, per The Mirror. "Rainbow Sherbet has always been a favorite, so getting to see it featured like this feels really special." The Actress Doesn't Believe In The 'Women Empowering Other Women' Narrative Last year, Sweeney reflected on her experience working in Hollywood during a candid Q&A for Vanity Fair's 2025 Hollywood issue. In the interview, she criticized the trendy notion of women empowering other women, noting she has seen more cases of successful women bashing young talents. "It's very disheartening to see women tear other women down," Sweeney told the publication at the time, seemingly referencing her feud with female producer Carol Baum, who had tried to question her looks and talents. "Especially when women who are successful in other avenues of their industry see younger talent working really hard — hoping to achieve whatever dreams that they may have — and then trying to bash and discredit any work that they've done." Speaking further about her experience, Sweeney claimed that the "women empowering women" narrative is a mirage. "None of it's happening," the "Euphoria" star added. "All of it is fake and a front for all the other sh-t that they say behind everyone's back." Sydney Sweeney Claims Most Women Are 'Raised' To See Each Other As Competition Sweeney also explained the reason behind her opinion, pointing to the way women are often raised to view each other as competition. She remarked, "I mean, there's so many studies and different opinions on the reasoning behind it. I've read that our entire lives, we were raised—and it's a generational problem—to believe only one woman can be at the top. There's one woman who can get the man. There's one woman who can be, I don't know, anything." The "Sharp Objects" star also noted that this societal pressure has made women "feel like they have to fight each other or take that one woman down" rather than collaborate to get to their goals.

Source Claims There's ‘Tension' After Lauren Sanchez Found Out About Jeff Bezos & Sydney Sweeney's Collab
Remember earlier this summer when Sydney Sweeney arrived as a guest to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding, and everyone was like 'Why?' Well, insiders revealed that not only is she allegedly eyed as the top contender to play a Bond girl, but she reportedly got a billion dollar backing from Bezos for her upcoming lingerie line. However, insiders also claim there's 'tension' between Sanchez and Bezos now because of it. Earlier this month, Puck dropped the bombshell that Sweeney's upcoming lingerie line was being invested by Ben Schwerin, a partner at private equity firm, Coatue, which is in collab with Bezos and tycoon Michael Dell. More from SheKnows 6 Sexy Celebrity-Owned Lingerie Lines, Made From Rihanna to Sofia Vergara While it was originally reported that Sanchez invested in it herself, insiders are claiming otherwise to Rob Shuter. (Shuter is a journalist and gossip columnist, who now runs his own Substack here he dishes on celebrity-based news he gets from inside sources.) 'Sydney's not that close with Jeff or Lauren,' a source said to Shuter. 'But she got invited to their Venice wedding for a reason — business.' Another insider claimed, 'There's definitely some tension. Lauren didn't realize just how involved Jeff was in this. It's… awkward.' This, plus the Bond girl news, proves that Sweeney is getting closer to Bezos on the business side of things, but how does Sanchez feel? Well, obviously, insiders are saying different things, but are Sanchez and Sweeney even close? Nope. Insiders told Page Six that Sweeney 'is not friends with either one of them,' but attended the three-day festivities 'to pay respects to the 'boss,' just like in the old days of Hollywood.'

Sydney Sweeney Launching New Business With Jeff Bezos' Help, Says ‘Source'
Jeff Bezos is reportedly helping Sydney Sweeney launch her new venture — a lingerie line that will soon make its debut. Only last month, the actor made a glamorous appearance at Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's sumptuous Venetian wedding. She was one of many celebrity guests, including the Kardashian-Jenners, Orlando Bloom, Tom Brady, and others, who attended the ceremony. Sources now claim that the billionaire and his wife, among other investors, are backing Sweeney's upcoming business. Sydney Sweeney's lingerie line 'has been a huge project for her,' claims 'source' Us Weekly exclusively learned that Sydney Sweeney has been on the verge of launching her lingerie brand with Jeff Bezos' support. A source claimed that she will be 'launching a lingerie line very soon' in a massive project that has been in the works for a year. Sweeney's upcoming venture 'has been a huge project for her' that she has been 'working on for the last year.' Moreover, she has been receiving financial support from some bigwigs. The insider claimed that Bezos and his wife, Lauren Sanchez, have 'invested' in Sweeney's lingerie line. The news came on the heels of her attending the couple's luxurious wedding ceremony in Venice. It also seemingly explained her presence at the event despite having no connections to the couple. Puck previously reported that businessman Ben Schwerin, a General Partner at Coatue Ventures, is backing the 'Euphoria' star's business, which is poised to debut. Sydney Sweeney's upcoming lingerie line reflects her growing interest in other business ventures besides her thriving acting career.

Sweeney is also the global ambassador for HEYDUDE, Laneige skincare, and Kérastase haircare and is presently working on the third season of 'Euphoria.'

An insider alleged that Sanchez 'didn't realize just how involved' her husband was in the actor's ready-to-launch business venture, claiming she found it 'awkward.' There have reportedly been certain 'some tension' between them, just weeks after Sweeney attended the couple's wedding in Venice. Moreover, there have been questions regarding the 'Euphoria' star's attendance at the Bezos-Sanchez because she's not close to either.

Biance, 30, sizzled in a skintight black, long-sleeve top styled with tiny spandex shorts that nearly exposed her backside. She carried her iPhone in hand and strolled the mall in kitten heels. She kept a tan hat low over her makeup-free face as she and her 47-year-old husband made their way into a nearby MAC Cosmetics store. Kanye was seen waiting a few feet away as Bianca browsed the makeup counter's latest products with the help of a MAC employee. Rear view: The snaps showed the 30-year-old's stunning figure from all angles The rapper wore leather pants, a baggy hooded sweatshirt, brown suede boots, and large black sunglasses for the outing. The couple's casual outing in Tokyo comes two days after Censori appeared in a very revealing lingerie shoot, which was photographed by her rapper husband and shared to Instagram on Tuesday. The images showed her wearing white lace underwear while posing in her hotel room. The shots were taken in October last year. Revealing that it was her husband behind the lens, Bianca wrote in the caption: 'Japan October 2024 shot by @ye.' The defiant post came after West was recently forced to deny shocking allegations of sexual assault and sex trafficking made by his former assistant, Lauren Pisciotta.
