The 28-year-old star was honored at Variety’s 2025 Power of Women event in Los Angeles, where she spoke about filming her final scenes for Euphoria. “It’s gonna be a really bittersweet moment,” Sydney told Variety’s Angelique Jackson on the red carpet. “I’m kind of terrified for how emotional it’s gonna be. It’s been such a journey — it’s been my entire twenties. They’ve been my family and friends for so long. I’m forever grateful for all of them.”

Reflecting on her journey, Sweeney told Variety’s Marc Malkin, “I was 20 when I did the pilot, so being able to see a lot of the same people again feels very comforting.”
