Holy smokes. Did you see Sydney Thomas's graduation pics? Our favorite ring girl just leveled up her education game and did it looking absolutely incredible. I've been following her since she blew up at that Paul-Tyson fight, and lemme tell ya - this girl knows how to make a statement.
The 21-year-old bombshell (who now has a casual 886K followers) strutted across the University of Alabama campus in not one but TWO killer outfits that had her fans losing their minds. And honestly? Same.
Audio Summary of the Article
White Dress + Diploma = Fire
First came teh graduation ceremony look - a short white number that showcased her famous curves under the traditional robes. She posed with six of her besties in front of Rama Jama's restaurant looking like they owned the damn place. College girls living their best life.
But wait.
Then came the red dress. Good LORD. Sydney celebrated her academic achievement by popping bottles on the Tuscaloosa campus steps, and I'm pretty sure the temperature went up a few degrees just from those photos alone.
The Comments Section Exploded (Obviously)
Her Instagram post blew up faster than my credit card bill after a "quick Target run." Fans flooded her comments with everything from "Beauty queen! Congratulations" to "Goodness gracious, could you be any more amazing and perfect?"
My personal favorite? "One degree hotter." Whoever wrote that deserves a Pulitzer or something.
Behind That Million-Dollar Smile
What really got me though was Sydney's caption. Girl got REAL. She opened up about losing her mother during college and then dealing with "unexpected overnight fame" after that boxing match last November. I remember watching that fight with my roommate and we both immediately googled "who is the blonde ring girl" along with apparently half of America.
She wrote about how Alabama kept her grounded through it all - "welcoming me with open arms and keeping me grounded in who I am."
Honestly made me tear up a little.
From Ring Girl to Graduate... But Make it Fashion
Sydney's journey from just another college student to internet sensation happened faster than I can finish a bag of chips (which is saying something). After catching everyone's attention at the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight back in November 2024, she's been everywhere.
Earlier this month she broke Instagram with some Coachella bikini pics that had everyone talking. And back in March? She showed up at the Grammys in an outfit that made headlines.
I spent like $200 on my graduation outfit in 2018 and thought I was splurging. Meanwhile, Sydney's out here looking like she stepped off a magazine cover. The jealousy is real, folks.
Sentimental Touches That Hit Different
Did anyone else notice she kept a photo tucked into her mortar board? That kind of detail just got me. Behind all the glam and champagne showers, there's clearly a girl who's been through some real stuff and came out stronger.
She even graduated early! Her caption mentioned this chapter ending "a year early" which makes all of this even more impressive.
Listen. I'm not saying I'm obsessed with Sydney Thomas's whole vibe... but my Instagram search history would definitely disagree with me.
Roll Tide, indeed.
