Sydney Sweeney is not just stepping into the fashion world, she is entering it with a billion dollar push. Known globally for her breakout role in Euphoria, Sweeney is now building something of her own. Her latest move is the launch of a lingerie brand that is backed by Coatue Management, a powerful investment firm recently funded by Jeff Bezos and Michael Dell. What initially seemed like a surprise celebrity appearance at Bezos’s wedding has now turned into a calculated business alliance, with Sweeney proving that she is just as strategic as she is stylish.
The connection between Sydney and Coatue became clearer after her photos from the wedding raised eyebrows across social media. Many wondered why she was part of the exclusive guest list. But in the days that followed, news emerged of her partnership with Ben Schwerin, a senior executive at Coatue. Schwerin, previously the head of partnerships at Snapchat, is known for his ability to connect investors and celebrities in a way that benefits both. With his influence, Coatue is shifting its traditional focus and entering the consumer brand market, starting with Sydney’s lingerie line.
The investment firm recently received a billion dollar boost through the Coatue Innovation Fund, supported by Jeff Bezos and Michael Dell. While Bezos is not directly investing in Sweeney’s brand, his fund is empowering Coatue to make bold new bets, and Sydney’s venture is among them. That alone makes her lingerie brand one of the most high profile celebrity led launches in recent memory.

In the lead up to the announcement, Sydney’s social media strategy quietly teased what was coming. She posted a series of photos featuring lingerie and swimwear alongside model Amélie Tremblay. At the time, these posts seemed like standard celebrity content. But in hindsight, they were carefully planned brand teasers, planting curiosity while building momentum around her aesthetic.
Ben Schwerin’s involvement signals something bigger. Coatue does not typically fund fashion or lingerie ventures. Its backing of Sydney’s brand suggests a larger shift in strategy and a bet on celebrity influence over traditional retail models. Schwerin’s role seems tailored to this shift. His ability to connect entertainment with venture capital is helping Coatue experiment with brand creation in a way that feels both modern and powerful.
As of now, little is known about the exact product line, design philosophy, or launch timeline. But industry insiders are watching closely. A noted fashion writer and lingerie expert has already expressed interest in how this brand could shape the market, hinting that Sweeney’s move is likely to make waves. With exclusivity and anticipation building fast, Sydney is not just selling lingerie, she is setting the tone for how celebrity ventures might be structured in the coming years.
