Sydney Sweeney’s “Festive” Fashion Fails to Win Over Family Feud Fans
Actress Sydney Sweeney found herself in the social media hot seat after her recent appearance on Celebrity Family Feud, where her unconventional Christmas-inspired outfit sparked a flurry of online criticism. The 28-year-old, known for her roles in Euphoria and The White Lotus, joined her The Housemaid castmates on the December 4 broadcast, facing off against a team of “Real Housewives All-Stars.”
While the game itself featured the typical celebrity antics, many viewers were more focused on Sweeney’s layered ensemble. She sported a gray button-down shirt, a burgundy sweater, a white V-neck undershirt, and a black cocktail dress with a bow detail, all topped off with white stiletto heels. The unique combination quickly became the talk of social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
“What the f— is Sydney Sweeney wearing on celebrity family feud? Hahah,” one viewer quipped, echoing the sentiments of many. Another commented, “sydney sweeney is on celebrity family feud rn wearing two cardigans and a mini dress with ill fitting bra cups. if anybody was wondering.”
Beyond the fashion critique, some viewers took the opportunity to question Sweeney’s career trajectory. One particularly harsh comment stated, “If she already doing family feud her career is officially in the sh—er.” Others expressed their preference for her The Housemaid co-star, Amanda Seyfried, to handle all press duties for the upcoming film.
Sweeney’s Celebrity Family Feud appearance comes as she ramps up promotions for The Housemaid, a psychological thriller set to release on December 19. The film, directed by Paul Feig (The Office, Bridesmaids), sees Sweeney portraying a domestic worker who uncovers sinister secrets within an affluent household.
Despite the online chatter, the Celebrity Family Feud Holiday Special aired on Thursday, December 4, at 8/7c on ABC, with streaming available the following day on Hulu.
