Sydney Sweeney is not letting a scandal interfere with her glamorous night out. The 27-year-old blonde bombshell attended a special screening of her movie “Americana” on Sunday, despite controversy surrounding her recent American Eagle jeans ad.
For the event, the “Euphoria” star donned a cream gown with a matching headband, and her hair was styled in old Hollywood waves.
As discussions about Sweeney’s American Eagle ad continued, a video showcasing her shooting skills at a gun range from 2019 resurfaced and went viral.
Representatives for Sweeney did not immediately respond to requests for comment, and she has not publicly addressed the recent backlash.
Sweeney’s collaboration with American Eagle for their fall clothing campaign, titled “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans,” received mixed reactions. Some criticized the campaign for alleged racial undertones, while others applauded the actress for challenging “woke” advertising.
American Eagle defended Sweeney amid the backlash, emphasizing that the ad was always about the jeans and celebrating how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence in their own way.
President Donald Trump expressed support for Sweeney, stating that if she is a registered Republican, he thinks her ad is fantastic.
