Inside Sydney Sweeney's wild boozy night out as she continues to blow off American Eagle controversy
The event took place inside a crowded venue as the Euphoria actress held up a tray of shots to hand out to her pals.
The movie star had her blonde hair down with a fresh tropical tan as she smiled from ear to ear. She was also seen with a microphone on a stage.
Hollywood's latest 'it' girl wore a farm-girl style white cotton crop top that flashed her toned tummy as she added oversized blue denim jeans and white sneakers.
She was surrounded by hot men and pretty friends who were dressed to party the night away.
'Duval diaries,' was all the star wrote in her Instagram caption.
Sweeney split from her fiancé, Jonathan Davino, eight months ago after they started dating in 2018 and got engaged in 2022.
This comes on the heels of Sweeney's American Eagle drama.
The A-list actress is the face of the label's autumn advertising rollout, which has the tagline, 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans.'
American Eagle said the actress did nothing wrong with their ads after they were branded 'Nazi propaganda' by woke critics.
Some saw her 'great jeans' campaign to be a remark on her genetic background which is mixed European ancestry; she grew up in rural Idaho. The phrase 'great genes' is 'historically used to celebrate whiteness, thinness and attractiveness,' which it said made 'this campaign seem to be a tone-deaf marketing move,' a Salon report on the backlash read.
Others found the link 'ridiculous' and thought the ads were just fine.
'"Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans" is and always was about the jeans,' the company said on Instagram.
'Her jeans. her story,' it was added. 'We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone.'
In a series of images, the Spokane, Washington-born beauty - who is set to play boxer Christy Martin in an upcoming biopic - is seen modeling a variety of denim-based ensembles.
In an accompanying video, Sydney is seen buttoning up her jeans as she muses: 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair colour, personality and even eye colour... my genes are blue'.
A second advert sees the camera pan down Sydney's chest as she models a plunging denim jumpsuit.
She muses: 'My body's composition is determined by my genes...' before exclaiming: 'Hey, eyes up here' as the camera cuts back to her face.
The advert has divided fans, however, with one critic calling the clip 'one of the loudest and most obvious racialized dog whistles we've seen and heard in a while.'
Taking to social media, many expressed their shock at messaging, which they aligned to Nazi propaganda.
Outraged fans penned: 'So Sydney (& American Eagle) somehow expect audiences to not interpret this visual as a euphemism for eugenics and white supremacy?'
Some saw her 'great jeans' campaign to be a remark on her genetic background which is mixed European ancestry; she grew up in rural Idaho
'The Sydney Sweeney American Eagle ad campaign is just modern day Nazi propaganda. Like it's wild how blatant it is. Things are weird right now, man.';
'the most nazi part of the Sydney sweeney add for me was the use of the word offspring'; ''Jeans (Genes) are past down from parent to offspring' 'My jeans (genes) are blue' 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans (genes)' Nothing is ever a coincidence, this is eugenics';
TikTok named Angie under the handle @vital_media_marketing then reviewed the ad and pointed out what she felt were problematic elements with the underlying message.
Angie said: 'As it's panning up her body and on her face and her features, she's literally talking about her family tree and the genetics that have been handed down to her, her blonde hair and her blue eyes, and how great they are.'
Many people panned the tone of the ad campaign on American Eagle's Instagram page, as one user quipped, It's giving "Subtle 1930's Germany."'
Yet many were quick to defend Sydney, branding the backlash 'unhinged'.
They shared on X/Twitter: 'I'm not sure how to say this nicely but if you think a jeans ad with a pun about Sydney Sweeney being pretty is a nazi dogwhistle you genuinely need to put the phone down for a while.'; 'everyone is seriously reading too much into this and y'all need to go take a hike or something because sydney sweeney is literally just promoting jeans, not 'nazi propaganda'';
'The claim that Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad is pro-eugenics because of a 'good genes/jeans' pun is genuinely unhinged. It's a denim campaign, not a manifesto. Not every blonde with blue eyes is a Nazi. Some of you need a history book — and a nap';
'You guys don't have to like Sydney Sweeney or the ways she promotes herself but don't you think comparing those Jean commercials to nazi propaganda is a tad extreme?'
Sweeney said in a July 23 news release about the fall campaign: 'There is something so effortless about American Eagle.' She said of the clothier: 'It's the perfect balance of being put-together but still feeling like yourself.'

Tammy Hembrow and Bailey Smith seen on second date as the AFL star flies to the Gold Coast AGAIN to see the fitness influencer
Tammy Hembrow and Bailey Smith can't seem to get enough of each other, as the pair were spotted enjoying their second date at a beach on Friday. The AFL star, 24, who first jetted up to the Gold Coast to see Tammy, 31, last weekend, made the trip again to take her on a romantic stroll to Nobby's Beach. Influencer Updates AU shared footage of the pair on Instagram on Saturday, as the footy player appeared to have his arm wrapped around Tammy's hips. The clip showed Tammy and Bailey cuddled up as they walked down the street after getting a coffee together and soaking up some sun in the sand. 'Spotted at Nobby's Beach GC yesterday!' the caption read. 'They pulled up together in her car, got coffee and went for a walk then drove off with him driving her car!' Tammy posted to her Instagram Stories just a few hours later, wearing the same grey tank top and denim shorts she wore on her date, and shared a photo of the beach. Likewise, Bailey was spotted in Melbourne just shortly before he flew up to QLD, wearing the same black tracksuit he donned for their outing. It was likely a brief visit as Bailey would have flown back to Melbourne soon after their rendezvous to prepare for the Cats' bout against the Swans in Sydney on Sunday. Their second catch-up came on the same day news broke about a community coach being sacked after he made a vile comment about Tammy dating Bailey. Harvey Brunswick Leschenault Football Club formally sacked League coach John Baggetta on Friday after he posted a shocking slur about the online star to Facebook. John called the fitness influencer a 'c** bucket'. Days earlier, Daily Mail exclusively revealed Bailey and Tammy were seen together on a date on the Gold Coast, kissing and sharing lunch at a waterfront restaurant. The outing fuelled speculation about a new romance, coming only two months after Tammy's split from her ex-husband Matt Zukowski. Later, she appeared on social media wearing what seemed to be Bailey's jacket. Bailey has declined to clarify the relationship. Photographers and reporters attended Geelong training this week, where Bailey was the centre of attention, but the Cats star only responded with a tirade of expletives. Their alleged union on the Gold Coast sparked enormous chatter on social media platforms, including plenty of horrendous comments directed at Tammy. One of the worst of those slurs was posted in the comments section of a news article by John. 'He's just trying to keep his relevance,' John posted about Bailey. 'And she is just a c** bucket,' he then posted about Tammy. His comment sparked a barrage of calls for him to be sacked, with the Harvey Brunswick Leschenault Football Club officially wielding the axe on Friday. 'The board of the Harvey Brunswick Leschenault Football Club wish to inform all players, members, officials and supporters that John Baggetta has been terminated as League coach,' the statement read. 'Regarding the social media post made by John, we do not condone those comments, and they do not reflect the values or standards of the Harvey Brunswick Leschenault Football Club at any level.

Brazen thieves target footy legend's luxury car in broad daylight - leaving his young family 'rattled'
Footy legend Trent Cotchin and his family remain in disbelief after they were victims of a daylight robbery. The triple-premiership captain with Richmond and Brownlow Medallist had numerous items stolen from his Mercedes outside his Moonee Ponds home, in Melbourne's north-west, on Thursday. His wife Brooke later posted security footage of a car pulling up in front of their house around 6pm. A hooded thief can be seen hovering over Cotchin's car - which was unlocked - before opening the door and helping himself to a wallet, including an Amex card. Cotchin has confirmed multiple transactions were made on the card before it was locked. Victoria Police were then spotted at Cotchin's house on Friday morning taking statements. Footy legend Trent Cotchin and his family remain in disbelief after they were victims of a daylight robbery this week in suburban Melbourne The triple-premiership captain with Richmond and Brownlow Medallist had numerous items stolen from his luxury Mercedes (pictured) outside his Moonee Ponds home on Thursday Cotchin's wife Brooke told Instagram followers her family were left 'rattled' by the incident The footy star's wife posted on Instagram anything 'half valuable' in the vehicle was taken, but Cotchin's mouthwash, toothbrush and toothpaste were left behind. She added her family were left 'rattled' by the incident. Cotchin retired at the end of 2023 following a brilliant career with the Tigers, which included flags in 2017, 2019 and 2020. He captained the team to all three premierships, and also snared three best and fairest gongs at Punt Road during his storied 306-game career. Away from footy, Cotchin was recently mortified when he appeared on Channel Seven's Dancing With The Stars. While he impressed when performing a Cha Cha with Jess Raffa, the decorated midfielder was left with a questionable red lipstick mark on his crotch. It was all good natured, with Cotchin admitting it was 'extremely awkward' before playfully asking host Sonia Kruger to 'move on' when questioned about the stain. Dancing With The Stars fans previously noted Cotchin had been a little hesitant to dance with Raffa during early days of the show. Many felt the footy star didn't feel comfortable dancing with another woman who was not his wife and childhood sweetheart, Brooke.

Kelly Clarkson's ex-assistant Brittney Marie Jones allegedly cheated on her husband with Brandon Blackstock, shock report claims
Brandon Blackstock's 'loving partner' - who was his ex-wife Kelly Clarkson's assistant - had allegedly cheated on her then-husband with the talent manager according to a new report. Page Six reported on Friday that Brittney Marie Jones' husband Greg Goose LaPoint found out about her alleged affair with the now deceased music executive in the summer of 2023. 'He got screwed over due to [Jones and Blackstock's] fling starting during his marriage,' a source told the publication. Daily Mail has reached out to Blackstock's management company, Jones, and LaPoint for comment and have yet to hear back. This comes amid news that 43-year-old Clarkson's late ex-husband Blackstock had a 'loving partner' at the time of his death--Jones, according to his newly published obituary. Blackstock — who was married to Clarkson from 2013 to 2020 and shared daughter River, 11, and son Remington, 9 — died on Aug. 7 at age 48 following a private, years-long battle with melanoma. The obituary, released Tuesday, revealed that Blackstock had been in a relationship with Jones and was quietly building a new life with her in Montana, a fact unknown to many fans. 'After more than 20 years in the music business, Brandon found his way back to the mountains and the cowboy way of life he always wanted to live,' the obituary read. 'He found a homestead and a love in Butte, Montana.' It went on: 'Brandon, along with his beautiful and loving partner in life and business, Brittney Marie Jones, started building a life, building companies, and working tirelessly to create Headwaters Livestock Auction and what will live on as his legacy, The Valley View Rodeo in Bozeman, Montana.' In a bombshell revelation, a December 2024 report by the US Sun on Blackstock and Jones's rodeo business listed Jones as Clarkson's 'former assistant.' had not received a response to its request for comment from reps for Clarkson earlier this week. A prior LinkedIn profile for Jones highlighted in the 2024 US Sun report reveals she served as an executive assistant to Brandon Blackstock as well as an assistant to Kelly Clarkson while Blackstock managed the singer. 'I successfully assistant managed day to day for artist, Kelly Clarkson under manager, Brandon Blackstock in Los Angeles for music and television,' the profile read, according to The Sun. 'After a change in management for Ms. Clarkson, I transitioned to Executive Assistant for Mr. Blackstock's cattle operation in Montana, where I currently run the office and handle administration work. The obituary read: 'Brandon, along with his beautiful and loving partner in life and business, Brittney Marie Jones, started building a life, building companies, and working tirelessly to create Headwaters Livestock Auction and what will live on as his legacy, The Valley View Rodeo in Bozeman, Montana.' 'I also currently fulfill personal assistant duties for Mr. Blackstock.' Jones's LinkedIn also identifies her as the Executive Assistant of V Bar V Cattle Co. LLC — formerly Vintage Valley Ranch — one of Blackstock's companies, further tying her to his post-divorce life in Montana. Jones was previously married to the aforementioned LaPoint- who is a drummer for the band Gypsy Nights and a holistic nutritionist for The Holistic Goose in Nashville according to his Instagram bio - according to details found on her Facebook page. The couple shared wedding photos from their September 2021 ceremony, offering a glimpse into their life together. However, the exact timeline and circumstances of their separation remain unclear, but LaPoint has kept remnants of their relationship up on social media as he took to Instagram on Sept. 11, 2022 to write: 'It's hard to believe it's been a year since we said, "I do." 'I can not imagine a world without you by my side, a partner who is as real as they come. A lover, cuddler and sure spit fire. I am forever grateful I get to call you my wife.' According to Page Six's source, when LaPoint found out about his wife's alleged affair, he asked her immediately to file for divorce and it was officially filed on July 13, 2023 citing 'irreconcilable differences' per court records obtained by Page Six. Jones had listed she and LaPoint's date of separation as January 2023, however, the musician had posted a photo of them smiling on a hike together that month. Their divorce was ultimately finalized by February 2024 according to court records. The bombshell dropped just hours after Melissa Ashworth, Blackstock's first wife, spoke out publicly about his passing. 'On May 29, 1999 I married the man who would become the father of my children,' Ashworth wrote on Instagram over the weekend. Her post included a collection of photos featuring Blackstock, their children — son Seth, 18, and daughter Savannah, 23 — as well as Savannah's husband, Quentin Lee. She also shared a throwback from their wedding day, reflecting on the man she once called her husband. 'Brandon was full of charm, wit, and just an absolute gentleman who happened to wear cowboy boots, wrangler jeans, and a cowboy hat. He was by far, hands down, the best Daddy and Pa. He loved hard and he fought hard,' she wrote. 'The best thing Brandon has left for his children is they know where he is. I've heard it said, "Nothing is lost when you know where it is" and Brandon is with Jesus his Savior,' she continued. 'Savannah, Seth, and our grandchildren are the best parts of who Brandon and I are. Thank you all for your prayers and condolences.' After their divorce, Blackstock married Clarkson, and the two went on to have two children. Ashworth's message came just hours after her and Blackstock's son Seth also posted his own heartfelt tribute to his father. He shared a series of photos with his father, ranging from his early childhood to more recent years. In one snapshot from Seth's tribute, a toddler-aged Seth flashes a wide grin while his father smiles proudly behind him. Another image captures a slightly older Seth alongside his sister Savannah, laughing as they play outside with their German Shepherd and their dad. 'I lost my hero yesterday, words can't describe how proud of you I am on raising me and your 3 other kids,' Seth wrote in his caption. 'You were a father, a son, a brother, and most importantly my best friend. 'You'll have to watch me grow up from a Birds Eye view now buts that's OK with me. There's no one else on this earth that I would want to be my dad because no one can be half the man you were to me,' he continued. 'I'll see you everyday when the sun rises and falls. 'I can confidently say all the deer and elk took a sigh of relief when the best hunter I've ever known laid his rifle down for the last time,' Seth concluded. 'I love you so much and can't wait to throw a line in the water with you again. Love you dad. Be good or good at it — love your son Seth.' Blackstock, the former stepson of country superstar Reba McEntire, was married to the American Idol star from 2013–2022. The news of Blackstock's death came hours after Clarkson revealed she was postponing the remaining dates on her Las Vegas residency in August due to her ex-husband's illness. A representative for the family said in a statement: 'It is with great sadness that we share the news that Brandon Blackstock has passed away. 'Brandon bravely battled cancer for more than three years. He passed away peacefully and was surrounded by family.
