Does Sydney Sweeney Have 'Mar-A-Lago Face'? Close-Up Pics Make It Hard To Dispute

Actor Sydney Sweeney may not have intended for her Republican affiliation to become public news, but it indirectly came to light when she appeared in the now-infamous 2025 American Eagle jeans campaign. While the blue-eyed blonde merely alluded to her "great genes," in the ad, many critics argued the message came off distasteful and even touched on eugenics, insinuating Sweeney's genes were somehow superior to others.

The controversy led to widespread curiosity about her political preference, until outlets like The Guardian dug up publicly available records and discovered Sweeney is, in fact, a registered Republican voter in Florida, having done so on June 14, 2024 — just months before Donald Trump took office for a second term. It didn't take long for the surrounding buzz to reach the president himself, who called the AE ad the "hottest ad out there," before later declaring, "If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic," in remarks reported on CBS Boston.

These days, fans can't help but associate "The White Lotos" actor with the MAGA pack, so much so that her evolving look poses the question: Does Sydney Sweeney have the Mar-a-Lago face? For one, she has been leaning into heavier makeup, as seen in her latest red carpet appearances. Attending "The Housemaid" premiere in December 2025 (photo above), the actor wore bold ruby red lipstick, shimmery eyeshadow, lash extensions and well penciled-in brows, all while looking noticeably flushed from heavily applied blush. She shared photos from the event on Instagram, prompting plenty of comments praising her beauty, but she didn't dodge those remarking on her Mar-a-Lago-looking face. "#MAGAbarbie," someone commented on the post.

Even though Sydney Sweeney looks stunning without makeup, she hasn't been able to evade plastic surgery rumors or comparisons to the Mar-a-Lago face — a beauty trend often associated with Republican figures aligned with President Donald Trump. The look is typically characterized by dramatic makeup, (including laminated brows, fake eyelashes, and dark smoky eyes, often accompanied with a spray tan), along with Botox enhancements, fuller lips, laser-smoothed skin, a contoured jaw, and ultra-polished teeth.

In before-and-after photos of the "Euphoria" star, there is some evidence that ties her to the Mar-a-Lago trend. Besides her penchant for the occasional heavy makeup look, she shows off porcelain-like skin, a sculpted jawline, and taut facial expression. Although the actor stated she has never had any work done due to a phobia of needles as per a Variety feature, several beauty experts have speculated otherwise.

Plastic surgeon Dr. LaBrasca, upon analyzing Sweeney's face, dismissed rhinoplasty rumors, but suggested she may have had other subtle enhancements. "Her cheeks and jawline — probably a touch of filler to enhance her natural bone structure without overdoing it," he said. The doctor further noted she may have undergone skin treatment, adding, "Her skin is flawless — it's likely a combination of skincare, lasers, possibly some baby Botox that keeps things smooth but expressive." Ultimately, whether Sweeney has simply embraced strategic glam or opted for subtle cosmetic work, her close-up pics make it increasingly hard to dispute if she, in fact, has a Mar-a-Lago face.
