WSJ
Sydney Sweeney’s next move










Sep 2025
WSJ Magazine features actor Sydney Sweeney in a cover editorial that highlights the intersection of portraiture and performance. Photographer Elizaveta Porodina captures the subject through a series of conceptual studio settings, utilizing a distinctive palette of golden-yellow gradients alongside high-contrast monochrome treatments. The production leans into surreal visual effects, incorporating glass prisms and long exposure light trails to create an ethereal, painterly aesthetic. Fashion styling by Tonne Goodman frames the subject in sculptural garments and metallic textures, complemented by hair styling from Glen Oropeza and luminous makeup by Yumi Lee. The editorial environment is further shaped by the work of set designer Milena Gorum, with manicuring by Jin Soon Choi. The series employs cinematic chiaroscuro and soft, diffused light to achieve a polished, artistic narrative.
