Doja Cat’s barefaced realness vs. Sydney Sweeney’s full-on glam has the internet melting down.
The Showdown Nobody Saw Coming
The internet hasn’t seen a meltdown this fierce since the “Team Edward vs. Team Jacob” days. Only this time, it’s not vampires—it’s natural beauty versus glam perfection.
Pop powerhouse Doja Cat has set social media ablaze with her stripped-down, barefaced look, while “Euphoria” star Sydney Sweeney is holding her ground with her flawless, full-glam style. The result? A fandom feud hotter than a West Coast heatwave.
How It All Started
It began when Doja Cat posted a no-makeup selfie at 12:01 AM, captioned simply: “Felt cute.” Fans flooded X (formerly Twitter) with praise, calling her the “face of real beauty.” Minutes later, Sydney Sweeney appeared at a red-carpet event dripping in old Hollywood glamour, crystal-studded gown and all, sparking the #SydneyMakeup trend.
Within 10 hours, the hashtags #DojaNatural and #SydneyMakeup had racked up 17.9 million posts combined—memes, side-by-sides, and heated arguments included.
Team Doja: Raw & Relatable
Fans on Doja’s side say her look is a refreshing antidote to the filtered-to-perfection world of Hollywood. “She’s showing young girls they don’t have to wear a mask to be beautiful,” wrote one fan. Another declared: “Doja just ended the makeup industry.”
The singer, known for her boundary-pushing style, hasn’t directly addressed the debate, but she’s liked several posts celebrating her “authentic energy.”
Team Sydney: Glam Is an Art
Meanwhile, Sydney’s supporters argue that makeup is a form of self-expression, not deception. “It’s not fake—it’s skill,” posted one fan, alongside a video breaking down Sydney’s red carpet look. Others point out that the “natural beauty” conversation often unfairly shames women who embrace makeup.
Sydney herself hinted at the discourse in an Instagram story: “Glam girls, rise up.”
The Cultural Flashpoint
This isn’t just about two women’s faces—it’s about what “beauty” means in 2025. Is authenticity about showing your untouched skin, or is it about expressing yourself however you choose? Social media loves a binary battle, but the truth might be more complicated—and less fun for the drama-hungry masses.
The Bottom Line
No matter who you side with, one thing’s clear: the internet has found its new obsession. Whether you’re cheering for Team Doja or Team Sydney, the beauty battle is proof that in the age of constant posting, every look is political—and every selfie is a statement.
