The breakout role for Sydney Sweeney came with her 2019 show Euphoria, which established her among the top leading ladies in Hollywood. But her vast body of work before that has been the foundation of her evolving acting career. With small but poignant appearances in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Sharp Objects, and others, she has been earning reputable credits. One such notable role came for her in the first season of the hit HBO series The White Lotus. Despite the connection, Sweeney seemed to be only a shadow in the wake of Alexandra Daddario.

A specific scene from the series has recently made its way to the internet, where Sydney Sweeney is sharing the scene with actress Alexandra Daddario. In the clip, Sweeney’s character is sitting by the poolside with her friend Paula, and both of them are relaxing while reading books, when Alexandra Daddario’s character Rachel Patton appears in front and changes into a white bathing suit. When Sweeney looks at Daddario’s well-maintained physique, it leaves her in utter disbelief, or at least fans seem to think so.

As Alexandra Daddario steps into the pool with her mesmerizing looks, Sydney Sweeney well plays the part of a young girl who might be feeling insecure after looking at a fellow woman’s perfect figure. In her term on The White Lotus, Sweeney plays the role of Olivia Mossbacher, daughter of Mark and Nicole, who, in the scene that has gone viral, had just wrapped up not so subtly insulting Daddario's character with her friend.

Sydney Sweeney’s portrayal of Olivia in The White Lotus was so well that it earned her an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series. Despite all the accolades, it seems that the bright starlet was silenced by Alexandra Daddario's stunning appearance at the poolside.

While some fans believe that there is no comparison between the two actresses and they are both talented in their own ways.
