Actress Ferreira Reflects on "Pinch Me" Moment at Fashion Show

In a surprising turn of events, former Euphoria actress Sydney Sweeney, 28, took the runway by storm at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on October 15, 2025. Sweeney, who played the iconic character Kat Hernandez on the hit HBO series, exclusively opened up about her "pinch me" moment before strutting down the catwalk in Brooklyn, New York.

The actress described the experience as feeling like she had "entered a different dimension," unsure if this was her "real dimension" or not. Sweeney, who has some prior runway experience, shared that she had been practicing her walk with the help of a former model friend. She expressed her love for modeling, noting that it allows her to tap into a "sexier" character compared to her acting roles.

Despite her successful runway debut, Sweeney made the decision to exit Euphoria after appearing in the first two seasons. She explained that she and the show's creator, Sam Levinson, had a hard time finding a "continuation" for her character, as she wanted to move beyond being "the fat best friend." Sweeney remains close with her former Euphoria castmates, recently reuniting with Maude Apatow and Sydney Sweeney at the Toronto International Film Festival.
