As soon as I meet Sydney Sweeney, she makes fun of me for using an iPhone. It makes senseâweâre underneath the Louvre, about to head into Unpacked, Samsungâs biannual product showcase, and sheâs here to preview a competitorâs tech (and meet an AI-generated version of herself). Spoiler: She makes a great case for switching over. âYou should probably go downstairs and get a Samsung,â she half-jokes, glaring at me. (Having a genuine movie star enjoy a laugh at your expense feels amazing, by the way.)
Since first appearing in Euphoria in 2019, the busy actor has shot to the top of the A-list, appearing in juicy rom-coms, horror barnburners, and infamous comic-book adaptations at a steady clip. The 26-year-old, therefore, takes self-care seriously amid all of the travel her job requires. During our brief conversation in Paris, Sweeney revealed her on-the-go beauty routine, her favorite straight-leg jeans, the one-piece swimsuit she owns in multiple colors, and, yes, the Samsung tech sheâs introducing into her routine.
The jeans sheâs always wearing
When youâre Sydney Sweeney-level famous, you donât buy much clothingâyou get dressed. But she still has a place in her wardrobe for Leviâs 501s, the brandâs original straight-leg silhouette. âI wear a lot of vintage Leviâs [jeans] and overallsâIâm a 501 girl,â the Anyone But You star says. âI still have my same jeans from high school.â You can troll eBay for a vintage pairâor you can start your own collection with these vintage-effect Leviâs in Sweeneyâs preferred cut.
The ice roller she used in Euphoria
When Sweeney was about to film that iconic skin care scene in season two of Euphoria, series creator Sam Levinson asked her what products she actually used. âDuring COVID, I ice-rolled my face a lot,â Sweeney says. âI just brought this whole tub of stuff [to set], and I did the ice rolling. I was like âWait, I forgot that I really love this.â So every morning now, when I go to set or when I wake up, I ice-roll my face.â This is the exact pick Sweeney used in Euphoria.
The phone she convinced her family to buy
As you can guess, Sweeney doesnât use an iPhoneâsheâs a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip fan through and through. (Check the receipts!) Now that the brand has introduced the sixth iteration of the foldable smartphone, sheâs carrying one everywhere. âTheyâre like the best accessory for your bagâthey fit in every purse, which I really love,â says Sweeney, who also appreciates the phoneâs real-time voice translation feature for shoots in far-flung locations. âIâve gotten my aunt to switch. Iâve gotten my grandpa to switch. Iâve gotten my dad to switch. Itâs been really fun.â
Her travel skin care routine
As a Laneige ambassador, Sweeney is serious about the brandâs most popular products. And on every flight, she uses Laneige cleansing foam, applies the brandâs face moisturizer, and then immediately slathers the Water Sleeping mask on top. For her eyes, she uses 111Skin eye gels to lock in even more moisture. âI wake up, and the mask is so dry, and I peel it offââand underneath, her skin is radiant and unaffected by the dry plane air.
Her lake day essentials
A native of Washington, Sweeney grew up going to lakes every summer; sheâs a big fan of slalom waterskiing. âI usually wear a good one-piece so I can rope-swing and do watersportsâand everybody stays everywhere,â she says. Sheâs often spotted in a timeless Gooseberry swimsuit that goes for just $99; weâve seen her wear it in sage, white, and black. And once sheâs got her Laneige sunscreen in her bag, sheâs âgood to go.â
The tech she carries everywhere
Samsungâs first smart ring has convinced Sweeney to hop on the wearables trend. âItâs lightweight, itâs sleek, and Iâve been wanting to do something like that because I travel so much,â she says. âSomething thatâs tracking my sleep, my health, my energy, and is more personalized, [is] really nice to have at the touch of my fingerâno pun intended.â Meanwhile, her earbuds are also from Samsung; she uses this noise-canceling pair to listen to audiobooks undisturbed on planes.
Her LA keychain
Hoping to emulate Sydney Sweeney in the most granular way possible? Hereâs a trick: Get a Bronco keychain. âI have different keychains for different places, and theyâre usually themed for wherever [I am],â she says. âMy LA keychain has a bucking bronco from the Ford logo.â It tracks, seeing as the actor spends her free time fixing up vintage cars.
