College student, model, and social media star Sydney Thomas celebrated her 21st birthday with friends – but stunned the internet with her outfit.
The University of Alabama undergraduate took a snap with two friends as well as a cake with ‘Twenty One’ written on it in icing.
Thomas was wearing a red top that accentuated her bust and sent social media into a firestorm.
‘The 21st celebration continues. So blessed with these girls,’ Thomas captioned the photo in a post to X, formerly Twitter.
Thomas became internet famous for her work ringside at the Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fight last month in Arlington, Texas.
Thomas was one of five ring girls working at the event at AT&T Stadium – along with Virginia Sanhouse, Lexi Williams, Delia Sylvain and Raphaela Milagres.
In the aftermath of her growing popularity, Thomas says she’s getting more attention that ever – with her social media inbox overflowing with messages from thousands of new followers.

‘There’s everything, anything from blue check marks to random people,’ she spilled, revealing that most are ‘people trying to have a chance with me or trying to ask me on a date.’
Thomas recently broke up with her boyfriend this past summer, but she insists that she’s not yet ready to throw herself back into the dating world.
‘I don’t even care to read through any of that,’ she said. ‘I’m so happy with myself, and that’s where all my time is going, so anyone reaching out who’s wanting to be with me, it’s just slipping right on by because I do not have any intention to involve myself with that.’
The Alabama senior has been trying to balance her now busy workload by taking online classes in order to finish her degree.
But as fresh opportunities come flooding in amid her newfound popularity, Thomas admitted that she feels overwhelmed.
‘Everyone’s been asking me what’s next, and I was never expecting this to come fall into my lap all at once, and so I haven’t really thought that far ahead,’ she said.
‘Now, it’s all these big life questions of like, “What do you want to be? What do you want to do?”
‘It’s just such big things in this world that I’m now, as a 21-year-old, having to decide all this stuff for myself…It’s a lot right now….So I’m still figuring it all out and the path I want to go on and I don’t know. I don’t know. That’s my answer.’
