Piers Morgan accuses Beyonce of ‘appropriating' Marilyn Monroe in Levi's ad amid Sydney Sweeney row
After Sydney Sweeney's recent American Eagle campaign sparked debate, another ad is now making headlines - this time featuring Beyoncé. The music icon has found herself at the center of controversy over her new Levi's advertisement, which pays visual homage to Marilyn Monroe's signature 1950s glam. Beyoncé's Levi's ad campaign draws backlash from journalist Piers Morgan, calls it 'cultural appropriation'.(AP) British journalist Piers Morgan led the criticism, accusing the singer of cultural appropriation. 'Very disappointed to see Beyoncé culturally appropriate Marilyn Monroe in her new Levi's ad,' Morgan wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Marilyn reimagined - or misappropriated? The Levi's campaign shows Beyoncé styled with platinum blonde curls, winged eyeliner, and red lipstick - clearly channeling Monroe's old Hollywood aesthetic, particularly her look from films like Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. While some fans praised the visuals, others accused Beyoncé of stepping into a space that wasn't hers to claim - claiming that this was an attempt to 'look more white' or imitate a cultural icon from a different era and identity. Online backlash The ad drew intense reactions on social media, with comments flooding Levi's page. Some reactions were bluntly negative, like 'NO LEVI'S this looks soooo cheap' and 'Sydney Sweeney did it better. Beyoncé is culture appropriation but y'all won't admit it.' Another comment even took a direct jab at American Eagle, writing: 'HOTTEST IN THE GAME AMERICAN EAGLE COULD NEVERRR.' Morgan's tweet itself received a wave of mixed reactions, with many users pushing back against his accusation. Some dismissed his criticism as racially charged, with one commenter writing, 'Admit you hate Black people. No wonder you hate Meghan.' Others sarcastically remarked, 'Maybe you haven't heard. She identifies as 'white' now,' while one quipped, 'That's white culture, Beyoncé, and we want it back!' Also Read | Beyonce's 'Cowboy Carter' becomes highest-grossing country tour ever Defenders of Beyoncé argued that Marilyn Monroe is a widely celebrated pop icon - not a culture to be appropriated. 'Marilyn Monroe had blonde hair which means… Black people can't put on wigs? Is that really the argument?' asked one user. Another added, 'Emulating her aesthetic is no more 'cultural appropriation' than a British man dressing like James Dean. Beyoncé channeling Monroe is an homage - something white celebrities have done with Black icons for decades without critique. The selective outrage reeks of double standards.' Beyoncé remains chill As of now, neither Beyoncé nor Levi's have issued statements addressing the backlash. The singer has previously faced scrutiny for artistic decisions - most notably during the release of her 2022 album Renaissance - but has largely remained unapologetic in her creative direction. Whether the current campaign will be adjusted or pulled remains to be seen.

Did Beyoncé's Levi's ad take a dig at Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle jeans campaign?
Image credits: X Sydney Sweeney has been topping search charts and trending hashtags for several weeks now. The reason? Her much-viral and criticised ad campaign for American jeans brand American Eagle, which was released on July 23, 2025 and featured the 'Euphoria' actress in seven different denim looks. While the ad in itself might have rocked the world with Sweeney's sultry and bold looks, the tagline of "Sydney Sweeney has great jeans" managed to raise the eyes of not only the American netizens but also political leaders, with them arguing that the company was promoting eugenics and Sweeney was headlining the statement. Now, another name has been added to this Goblet of Fire, that of music's reigning queen, Beyoncé. A section of social media users has been comparing Sweeney's stint to that of the country singer's Levi's campaign that she did back in February. The collaboration promoted the second chapter of Beyoncé's and Levi's "Reimagine" campaign titled "Pool Hall." In the picture going viral across social media platforms, Beyonce can be seen in an all-denim avatar with an embroidered jacket, strappy vest and jeans, striking an eerily similar pose to Sweeney. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Elegant New Scooters For Seniors In 2024: The Prices May Surprise You Mobility Scooter | Search Ads Learn More Undo Netizens react to the comparison Image credits: X Ever since Beyoncé's ad went viral, people have also been targeting her for trying to "appropriate" American culture with her blonde hair. "Stop appropriating my culture, Beyonce," wrote a person on X. Others have been comparing the two in a positive and negative light. "Just going to leave this pic from Beyoncé Levi's campaign right here for those saying Sydney Sweeney with her blond hair/denim/sultry look is racist…" said a post on X. "Everything in this pic is fake, Sweeney's attributes are all hers," commented one defending Sweeney. "Beyoncé has basically done a Michael Jackson and lightened her skin to the point of being WHITE, and the blonde hair basically says she wants to be WHITE, not embrace her "blackness"," added another. Many in the comments section explained how the entire fiasco was being created by the Democrats to get favour from the people and create conversations.
