Hollywood star Sydney Sweeney added some playful heat to her Friendsgiving celebration this year, stepping out in a creative costume inspired by the Dragon character from Shrek.

The actress posted a collection of photos from her week-long hangout with friends, which included stops at a Disney park, a cosy bar and a lakeside outing.

One of the highlights was a themed party where everyone dressed up as their favourite Shrek characters.

Sydney chose the fiery Dragon, rocking red horns and a coordinated outfit that gave a fun, modern twist to the animated creature.

In the photos, she posed alongside someone dressed in a huge inflatable Donkey costume.

Fans immediately speculated whether the person inside could be her rumoured partner, Scooter Braun though nothing was confirmed.

She also shared a playful shot with a friend dressed as the Gingerbread Man, striking a humorous pose next to a cut-out of Shrek.

The actress appeared to be enjoying a well-deserved break, having spent recent days jet skiing and grabbing a quiet meal with Braun.

Her outing comes shortly after criticism surrounding her boxing biopic Christy, which struggled at the box office.

Despite the chatter, Sydney continues to command attention with her confident energy and ability to keep fans entertained on and off the screen.
