The see-through lace corset and leather pants and Sydney Sweeney. What could go wrong? The 27-year-old actress accessorized the gothic-inspired costume with a loose-fitting jacket and shades, adding a touch of rock chic. In Black Bear, her most recent film, the curvaceous diva is showcasing her acting prowess.
In it, she becomes boxing icon Christy Martin and recounts her storied prizefighting career and near-murder at the hands of her husband and trainer, Jim Martin.
Sydney Sweeney taking online body shaming head-on
Sydney put a lot of effort into her gym routine and gained muscle for the job. Her appearance was critiqued by nasty keyboard warriors, which resulted in a lot of trolling.
She shared several cruel comments on Instagram, addressing the abuse head-on. She also displayed her sleek boxing abilities on a speedbag and in the ring.
As the first female boxer to feature on the cover of Sports Illustrated and win the WBC title, Christy swept the boxing world by storm in the 1990s.
When she joined notorious promoter Don King’s stable in 1993, she became his first female client and was dubbed The Coal Miner’s Daughter after her father’s occupation.
