Sydney Sweeney is trending on Twitter for the buzz around her "oh so hot" pictures on Instagram. The actress — who starred in Netflix series 'Everything Sucks!' and was also seen in Hulu's 'The Handmaid's Tale' and HBO's 'Sharp Objects' — showcased some of her new lingeries from Savage x Fenty in a series of stories.

She posted three video clips where she could be seen modeling the pieces and looking characteristically stunning while doing so. Sweeney donned a pink lacey lingerie design in the first video and she was seen in a white bra with blue prints. Shortly after the pictures and video clips were posted on Instagram, they went viral and also started floating around on Twitter.

Many fans who didn't know her started wondering who she was. Born and raised in Spokane, Washington, her mother is a lawyer and her father is in the medical field. She always dreamt of being a star and presented her parents with a five-year business plan after which they moved to Los Angeles. A trained MMA fighter who completed grappling in school, she has also been a part of shows like '90210', 'Criminal Minds', 'Grey's Anatomy', 'In the Vault' and 'Pretty Little Liars'.

The internet just couldn't stop talking about the posts. "If I had Sydney Sweeney's body and face I would simply charge people to look at me," one tweet read and another said, "Sydney Sweeney lives in my head rent-free." Upon learning she was trending on Twitter, Sweeny tweeted a fun reaction, "Well hello everyone."

Calling her pretty, one fan posted, "Sydney Sweeney is so pretty. She on my list of pretty women I wanna hug." Another wrote, "Anyway, let me go be sad until I fall asleep. goodnight to Sydney Sweeney."

One more wrote, "Petition to make #SydneySweeney the new sex icon of the 2020's #marilynsdoppleganger." Another said, "Sydney Sweeney should play a bio pic of Elizabeth berkley they look so much alike #sydneysweeney."
