One user quipped, “Who’s responsible for her bad fashion genes?” while another joked, “Are you auditioning for Oklahoma?” referencing a scene from the second season of “Euphoria” where her character dons a similarly country-inspired outfit.
The American Eagle Campaign Backlash
This clothing line has recently faced scrutiny since launching its controversial ad campaign on July 23. In the video, Sweeney stated, “Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color. My jeans are blue.” This campaign has stirred a variety of reactions, prompting users to criticize not only her outfit but also the messaging.

Despite the negative feedback, American Eagle defended their messaging. Their Instagram post reiterated that the tagline “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans” was meant to be about the jeans themselves rather than any implications attached to Sweeney.
As opinions continue to swirl around Sydney Sweeney’s red carpet appearance, the question remains: What do you think about her fashion choices? Did she nail the look or miss the mark completely?
