Sydney Sweeney Returns to Social Media After American Eagle's ‘Great Jeans' Campaign Controversy

Sydney Sweeney has returned to social media after her American Eagle denim campaign sparked widespread backlash. Taking to her Instagram Story on Friday, August 1, Sweeney, 27, shared a photo of a bouquet of pale pink roses. She also added a white heart sticker to her upload. The Euphoria star was named the new face of AE in July, kicking off the brand's fall 2025 campaign with a nod to its denim heritage. 'This fall season, American Eagle is celebrating what makes our brand iconic — trendsetting denim that leads, never follows,' Jennifer Foyle, the president and executive creative director of AE and Aerie, added in the press release. 'Innovative fits and endless versatility reflect how our community wears their denim: mixed, matched, layered and lived in. With Sydney Sweeney front and center, she brings the allure, and we add the flawless wardrobe for the winning combo of ease, attitude and a little mischief.' Sydney Sweeney Partners With American Eagle Outfitters for 'Great Jeans' Campaign Sweeney also released a statement about working with AE. 'Their commitment to creating pieces that make you feel confident and comfortable in your own skin is something that resonates with me,' Sweeney said in a statement. 'It's rare to find a brand that grows with you, the way American Eagle has for generations. They have literally been there with me through every version of myself.' The campaign, called 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans,' featured a visual film that many social media users condemned as overtly sexual and thought pandered to the male gaze. 'My body's composition is determined by my genes,' Sweeney said as a camera panned the length of her body. 'Hey, eyes up here.' A voiceover announcer added, 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans.' Other critics, meanwhile, claimed that the campaign promoted eugenics, which is a discredited belief associated with white supremacy regarding the improvement of human genetics. 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color. My jeans are blue,' Sweeney said in another ad campaign, making a pun out of the words 'jeans' and 'genes.' How Sydney Sweeney Overcame Feeling 'Uncomfortable' About Her Breasts: 'Flaunt What You Got' The actress has not yet publicly addressed the backlash to the marketing campaign. AE, for its part, released a statement about its intentions on Friday. ''Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' is and always was about the jeans,' a message shared via Instagram read. 'Her jeans. Her story. We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone.' Solve the daily Crossword

John Williams's Piano Concerto Review: From Hollywood to Tanglewood

Lenox, Mass. Composers of film scores who aspire to the concert hall have it rough. Fans from the multiplex want tunes they can hum, while classical-music aficionados tend to regard composers who earn studio paychecks as inferior to those who don't. Yet such snobbery is not entirely misplaced, as several Hollywood composers have made ill-fated attempts to augment their mainstream success with the patina of 'serious' music.

Mia Khalifa's New Sheytan Body Chains Are Breaking the Internet

Mia Khalifa is adding more sparkle to summer, and it's not coming from the usual fashion suspects. The media personality and entrepreneur took to Instagram this week to unveil the latest release from her jewelry and lifestyle brand Sheytan: an ultra luxe line of body chains designed to dazzle, seduce, and empower. In a sultry series of photos and videos that quickly went viral, Khalifa modeled the 'BODYCHAIN'D' the brand's newest addition. Wearing the cushion cut Italian crystal chain, handmade in Florence, she captioned the post: 'New belly chains now available at @ I'm wearing the cushion cut Italian crystal chain handmade in Florence.' The post has since racked up over 750,000 likes, 8,000 comments, and a staggering 175,000 shares, with fans and fashion aficionados alike praising the blend of elegance and sensuality that Sheytan has fast become known for. The New Drops: Luxe Meets Liberation The Sheytan website now features two new designs as part of its BODYCHAIN'D collection: $160Made in Firenze, Italy, featuring Marquise cut Italian crystals set on an 18ct Gold Vermeil chainSwim proof, Sweat proof, F** proof* $160Also crafted in Florence with Cushion cut Italian stones and 18ct Gold VermeilSwim proof, Sweat proof, F** proof* The bold tagline isn't just for marketing. It's a manifesto. These pieces are designed to move with the body, endure the elements, and make a statement: confidence is the new luxury. The Story Behind Sheytan Co-founded by Sarah Joe, better known to the world as Mia Khalifa, and creative partner Sara Burn, Sheytan is more than just a jewelry label. Described as a 'universe, a vehicle for creativity and collaboration,' the brand is an homage to the body, to feminine mystique, and to unapologetic self-expression. 'Sheytan' the name itself a reference to the Arabic word for 'devil' plays with contradiction: temptation and beauty, secrecy and empowerment. The brand leans into what it calls 'Shh! Pieces' subtle, statement making accessories designed to be worn with intention and mystery. The smaller 'Shh' logo that appears in the brand's visual identity hints at something intimate a knowing glance between wearers, a secret power shared in plain sight. Made with Meaning: The Sheytan Standard Far from fast fashion, Sheytan's pieces are produced in carefully selected factories in Florence and the UK, many of which are women owned or family run enterprises. Every step of the manufacturing process is personal, artisanal, and intentional. 'We know the human hands who are touching each product we've made,' reads Sheytan's brand manifesto. 'It's not faceless. We know who's making this. We know who's packing it.' The result is a product not just beautiful in appearance, but rich in craftsmanship and integrity. The founders make regular visits to their workshops, ensuring sustainable practices and quality that aligns with their vision of jewelry made 'for forever.' A Movement, Not Just a Brand From the outset, Sheytan has positioned itself as a lifestyle concept, not simply a purveyor of chains and crystals, but a feminist, sensual, and highly curated design house. Khalifa and Burn treat jewelry like lingerie: personal, powerful, made to delight the self first. With their newest BODYCHAIN'D collection, they remind women (and anyone who wants to feel divine in their skin) that adornment is a form of agency. As Khalifa continues to redefine her career through entrepreneurship, Sheytan stands as a bold chapter in her evolution, one rooted in sensuality, substance, and storytelling. And with pieces this captivating, it's safe to say: the secret's out.
