At her celeb-packed, space-themed 28th birthday bash in Los Angeles, pulled out all the stops with a sizzling outfit – only to find herself compared to a completely different star in , 55.
Following the woke backlash against the actress’ , it has inevitably seen her once again targeted by furious leftie trolls, condemning her for cosying up to the partner of one of .
But while the pair’s union might have caused a stir, sources tell The Sun that neither Sydney nor Lauren cares one bit – and have become so tight over recent months that pals are increasingly joking about their similarities.
The insider told us: “There was initially a lot of surprise when Sydney and Lauren were seen together, and everyone assumed it was just a business arrangement.
“But what started as a work connection has now turned into a real connection, and they’ve realised they have a lot in common.
“They are both very business-minded but also really like to let loose and have fun.
“And one thing they have really bonded over is their love of glamming up – and Sydney loved the fact they opted for similar vibes at her party.”
Bosom buddies
Lauren even landed her very own slide in Sydney’s birthday party dump online, while longer-term pals were shunned.
Reports of their friendship first started in March this year, when Syd signed on to star in and produce the movie Split Fiction – a big-screen adaptation of the popular video game.
The project was acquired by Amazon MGM Studios, which is owned by Lauren’s now-husband, .
In that same month, Lauren and Sydney – who has recently been romantically – were pictured together at the Vanity Fair party.
Just two months later, Sweeney rocked up at – much to the world’s surprise.
Our insider says: “Lauren has been interested in getting to know Sydney for a long time; she’s already besties with the likes of Kim K, and she felt like Syd is in that same realm.
“She was gushing over her for quite a while before they were introduced properly.”

There are even rumblings of throuples – with comparisons being made to Nicola Pletz, and ‘s union.
The three pals joked in 2023 that they were in a “throuple” after spending New Year’s together in .
Throuple murmurs
Speaking about Sydney, Lauren and Jeff, a source told us: “There are murmurs they are the new Selena, Brooklyn and Nicola, who loved joking they were a throuple.

Both Sanchez and Sweeney left little to the imagination at Sydney’s birthday bash.
Sweeney’s outfit was the same minidress worn by for her Circus album shoot in 2008, and Sanchez accentuated her eye-popping look with futuristic sunglasses and space rocket earrings.
Several other stars also played up to the space theme.
Sweeney’s new man Braun was also in attendance, dressed as a character.
Meanwhile, non-stop worker Bezos even found time to promote one of his own companies by donning a security jacket from his space technology organisation .
Business and pleasure
As well as her ties to Split Fiction, Sydney might soon be further connected to Bezos and Sanchez – in the new movie, after Amazon MGM Studios took over creative control of the iconic franchise.
Sweeney, who is pals with the upcoming movie’s director, Denis Villeneuve, is reportedly being lined up to land a role as the next Bond Girl.
While the term “Bond Girl” is very much dying out in the #MeToo era, the Anyone But You star has been tipped for a huge role in 007’s next outing.
What’s more, Sweeney’s working relationship with Bezos and Sanchez is set to get intimate, with speculation that the businessman is backing a Sydney-fronted lingerie line that would be her sexiest project ever.
Our insider expained: “Jeff is actually the driving force behind it all.
“Lauren was initially taken aback when his involvement was revealed, but she soon came round to it and realised they worked well as the trio.
“Jeff is definitely pulling the strings in both the business and relationship – but the women are very happy.”

Fans were surprised to see Sydney in Venice for the billionaire Bezos wedding
With Sweeney’s new Amazon MGM Studios movie on the horizon, a possible Bond Girl role, and a Bezos-Sanchez-backed underwear range potentially in the works, it doesn’t look quite so surprising that she was at the pair’s three-day wedding celebration in Venice, .
A source previously told the New York Post’s Page Six column that star “is not friends with either one of them”, but admitted she “came to pay respect to the ‘boss’, just like in the old days of Hollywood.”
As well as clearly having work on her mind at the nuptials, Sydney still had time to play.
She was exploring the streets of Venice and while that’s become more than a holiday romance, Sweeney and blushing bride Sanchez also cannot seem to get enough of one another.
Following her break-up from longtime fiancé Jonathan Davino earlier this year, Sweeney told The Times newspaper: “I’m learning a lot about myself, and spending more time with my friends. And I’m loving it.”
She certainly appears to be thoroughly enjoying her newfound celestial friendship with Sanchez.
