ANSWERS TO THE MOST IMPORTANT OF QUESTIONS: Why Sydney Sweeney’s Body is Causing a Total Meltdown:

The body positivity movement told us, loudly and constantly, that everyone is beautiful, that all bodies are worthy of the spotlight, that a triple chin was not only normal, but empowering. Obesity wasn’t a health crisis, it was an identity. That era wasn’t really about celebrating women. It was about neutralizing beauty. Sanding down the sharp edges of desirability until no one felt left out, and no one stood out.

And now here comes Sweeney, basking in her exceptional, remarkable, jaw-dropping body. Selling sex and looking like an unreformed Victoria’s Secret Angel, draped across a convertible in low-rise denim. Saying: Yeah, I’m lucky, I got really, really good genes. The contrast is almost comical. Whether she meant to be or not, she’s a kind of walking middle finger to the movement that tried to blow up all of our old-fashioned ideas about beauty. She’s not the future of advertising. She’s the past, revived, and making more money than ever.

And Sweeney embodies a bigger vibe shift that is—whether she is or not—fundamentally MAGA. TikTok is flooded with conventionally attractive women doing thirst traps in American flag bikinis. The “MAGA babe” is a thing, and you can buy her calendar. It’s cultural revenge for years of being told to find dumpy lingerie models inspiring. To believe in the polite fiction that beauty is subjective.

Some women are hotter than others. Always were.

And Sydney Sweeney is one of them. She’s hot. She’s blond. Her body’s a 10. She has the kind of face you’d cast to play a starlet in 1953. And the most offensive part of all? She knows it. She’s not ashamed. She’s just standing there, looking like that, and making bank.

And that, more than anything, is what’s driving people insane.

Because it proves people still want to look at beautiful people. They still want to buy what they’re wearing. They still respond to sex. And Sydney Sweeney? She never stopped playing that game. She just played it better than everyone else.

In 2021, Matt Labash wrote, “I hurt for my supermodel sisters.  I asked a lot of unanswerable questions like, ‘Why, God, why?’  Then I asked one last question, which you’re not supposed to utter in public: ‘Whatever happened to skinny, beautiful models, and will they be coming back any time soon?’”

Well, one slipped through the left’s lock on the culture, and as a result, they’re furious (what isn’t the left furious about?), and hoping that all of their table-banging will prevent such a tragedy from occurring again.
