While many people were busy hanging lights and prepping holiday décor, Sydney Sweeney decided she wasn’t quite ready to let the Halloween spirit go. Instead, the Euphoria star hosted a Friendsgiving celebration with a hilarious twist: every guest had to show up dressed as a character from Shrek.
Sweeney transformed an elaborate, castle-like venue into a whimsical fairytale setting, and she took on the role of Dragon for the night. Her costume featured a red corset-style bodysuit trimmed with shimmer, complete with a tail, spiky sleeves, knee-high stockings, pointed heels, and faux wings. She finished the look with a horned headband, channeling the fiery character with full commitment.
Adding to the fun, Sweeney posted a cheeky clip of herself dancing on a friend dressed as Donkey—a clever nod to the unlikely romance between Dragon and Donkey in the film. Fans speculated that Scooter Braun might have been inside the costume. Guests fully embraced the theme, arriving as Lord Farquaad, the Gingerbread Man, Puss in Boots, and other beloved characters from the animated franchise.
The celebration didn’t stop after one night. Sweeney turned Friendsgiving into a days-long event that included a Disney World trip, a seaside dinner, late-night karaoke sessions, and even a playful spelling bee. It was a full-fledged holiday adventure rather than a simple gathering.
Sweeney had teased the themed festivities during an appearance on Good Morning America, revealing that each guest had been assigned a character and was expected to show up in full costume. Judging by the photos and videos, everyone took the assignment seriously—and had a blast doing it.
Whether this becomes a yearly tradition remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Sydney Sweeney knows how to host a Friendsgiving that no one will forget.
