Remember Cassie in a wedding dress? Sydney Sweeney finally reacts to that Euphoria Season 3 viral set photo
That viral wedding dress pic? Yeah, she saw it
During her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the Echo Valley star was shown the infamous photo of herself in a wedding dress, looking like a blushing (or breakdown-prone) bride. Fallon wasted no time, asking if Cassie was getting hitched this season. Sweeney, clearly prepped for the interrogation, dodged like a pro: 'Um, I cannot confirm or deny.' Classic.
Then she served up a zinger, joking that the photo 'could be AI,' prompting Fallon to laugh and shut it down with a firm, 'No, it cannot.'
Cassie in Euphoria season 3? More unhinged than ever
What Sweeney did spill is that Cassie is not calming down anytime soon. In fact, she is levelling up her chaos. Sweeney confessed that Cassie is 'even worse' this season, which, if you recall her emotional spiral in Season 2, should have everyone shaking. This is not just unhinged, this is unhinged with glitter eyeliner and possibly a veil.

She previously told Empire magazine that she loves how flawed Cassie is, describing her as someone who messes up constantly but always from a place of messy, tragic love. Working with showrunner Sam Levinson, Sweeney revealed she often calls him with ideas to make things even wilder, and he is all for it.

Season 3 still MIA, but expectations are sky high
With filming reportedly starting in January 2025, fans are crossing their glittered fingers for a 2026 release. That would mark four years since the last season aired, and yes, the anticipation is feral.
Wedding or not, Cassie is back, and Sydney Sweeney is promising maximum drama. Let the chaos reign.

American Eagle's ‘good jeans' ads with Sydney Sweeney spark a debate on race and beauty standards
Titled 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans,' the campaign sparked a debate about race, Western beauty standards, and the backlash to 'woke' American politics and culture read more U.S. fashion retailer American Eagle Outfitters wanted to make a splash with its new advertising campaign starring 27-year-old actor Sydney Sweeney. The ad blitz included 'clever, even provocative language' and was 'definitely going to push buttons,' the company's chief marketing officer told trade media outlets. It has. The question now is whether some of the public reaction the fall denim campaign produced is what American Eagle intended. Titled 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans,' the campaign sparked a debate about race, Western beauty standards, and the backlash to 'woke' American politics and culture. Most of the negative reception focused on videos that used the word 'genes' instead of 'jeans' when discussing the blonde-haired, blue-eyed actor known for the HBO series 'Euphoria' and 'White Lotus.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Some critics saw the wordplay as a nod, either unintentional or deliberate, to eugenics, a discredited theory that held humanity could be improved through selective breeding for certain traits. Marcus Collins, an assistant professor of marketing at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business, said the criticism for the American Eagle ad could have been avoided if the ads showed models of various races making the 'genes' pun. 'You can either say this was ignorance, or this was laziness, or say that this is intentional,' Collins said. 'Either one of the three aren't good.' Other commenters accused detractors of reading too much into the campaign's message. 'I love how the leftist meltdown over the Sydney Sweeney ad has only resulted in a beautiful white blonde girl with blue eyes getting 1000x the exposure for her 'good genes,'' former Fox News host Megyn Kelly wrote Tuesday on X. American Eagle didn't respond to requests for comment from The Associated Press. The discussion continued after eagle-eyed social media users noticed that Dunkin's promotion for its new summer drink features 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' co-star Gavin Casalengo attributing his suntan to genetics. A snapshot of American Eagle The ad blitz comes as the teen retailer, like many merchants, wrestles with sluggish consumer spending and higher costs from tariffs. American Eagle reported that total sales were down 5% for its February-April quarter compared to a year earlier. A day after Sweeney was announced as the company's latest celebrity collaborator, American Eagle's stock closed more than 4% up. Shares were volatile this week and trading nearly 2% down Wednesday. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Like many trendy clothing brands, American Eagle has to differentiate itself from other mid-priced chains with a famous face or by saying something edgy, according to Alan Adamson, co-founder of marketing consultancy Metaforce. Adamson said the Sweeney campaign shares a lineage with Calvin Klein jeans ads from 1980 that featured a 15-year-old Brooke Shields saying, 'You want to know what comes in between me and my Calvins? Nothing.' Some TV networks declined to air the spots because of its suggestive double entendre and Shields' age. 'It's the same playbook: a very hot model saying provocative things shot in an interesting way,' Adamson said. Billboards, Instagram and Snapchat Chief Marketing Officer Craig Brommers told industry news website Retail Brew last week that 'Sydney is the biggest get in the history of American Eagle,' and the company would promote the partnership in a way that matched. The campaign features videos of Sweeney wearing slouchy jeans in various settings. She will appear on 3-D billboards in Times Square and elsewhere, speaking to users on Snapchat and Instagram, and in an AI-enabled try-on feature. American Eagle also plans to launch a limited edition Sydney jean to raise awareness of domestic violence, with sales proceeds going to a nonprofit crisis counseling service. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD In a news release, the company noted 'Sweeney's girl next door charm and main character energy – paired with her ability to not take herself too seriously – is the hallmark of this bold, playful campaign.' Jeans, genes and their many meanings In one video, Sweeney walks toward an American Eagle billboard of her and the tagline 'Sydney Sweeney has great genes.' She crosses out 'genes' and replaces it with 'jeans.' But what critics found the most troubling was a teaser video in which Sweeney says, 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color. My jeans are blue.' The video appeared on American Eagle's Facebook page and other social media channels but is not part of the ad campaign. While remarking that someone has good genes is sometimes used as a compliment, the phrase also has sinister connotations. Eugenics gained popularity in early 20th century America, and Nazi Germany embraced it to carry out Adolf Hitler's plan for an Aryan master race. Civil rights activists have noted signs of eugenics regaining a foothold through the far right's promotion of the 'great replacement theory,' a racist ideology that alleges a conspiracy to diminish the influence of white people. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Shalini Shankar, a cultural and linguistic anthropologist at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, said she had problems with American Eagle's 'genes' versus 'jeans' because it exacerbates a limited concept of beauty. 'American Eagle, I guess, wants to rebrand itself for a particular kind of white privileged American,' Shankar said. As for Dunkin's social media video, Casalengo's burnished skin comes up in the context of the doughnut chain's Golden Hour Refresher drink. 'This tan? Genetics. I just got my color analysis back and guess what? Golden summer,' the actor says, referring to the revived trend of wearing clothing that align with one's natural coloring. A Dunkin' spokesperson could not be immediately reached for comment. A cultural shift in advertising Many critics compared the American Eagle ad to a misstep by Pepsi in 2017, when it released a TV ad that showed model Kendall Jenner offer a can of soda to a police officer while ostensibly stepping away from a photo shoot to join a crowd of protesters. Viewers mocked the spot for appearing to trivialize protests of police killings of Black people. Pepsi apologized and pulled the ad. The demonstrations that followed the 2020 killing of George Floyd by a white police officer in Minneapolis pushed many U.S. companies to make their advertising better reflect consumers of all races. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Some marketers say they've observed another shift since President Donald Trump returned to office and moved to abolish all federal DEI programs and policies. Jazmin Burrell, founder of brand consulting agency Lizzie Della Creative Strategies, said she's noticed while shopping with her cousin more ads and signs that prominently feature white models. 'I can see us going back to a world where diversity is not really the standard expectation in advertising,' Burrell said. American Eagle's past and future American Eagle has been praised for diverse marketing in the past, including creating a denim hijab in 2017 and offering its Aerie lingerie brand in a wide range of sizes. A year ago, the company released a limited edition denim collection with tennis star Coco Gauff. Marketing experts offer mixed opinions on whether the attention surrounding 'good jeans' will be good for business. 'They were probably thinking that this is going to be their moment,' Myles Worthington, the founder and CEO of marketing and creative agency WORTHI. 'But this is doing the opposite and deeply distorting their brand.' Other experts say the buzz is good even if it's not uniformly positive. 'If you try to follow all the rules, you'll make lots of people happy, but you'll fail,' Adamson said. 'The rocket won't take off. ' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD

Sydney Sweeney's 5 best skincare tips for clear, glowing skin
Image credits: X Looking better with vibrant toned skin is every girl's dream. We all crave that enviable, vibrant skin—the kind that makes you look as if you're always lit from within, and boosts your confidence whether you're heading to work or out with friends. The desire to look better and radiate health isn't just about appearances. If you've ever scrolled past a glowing celebrity photo and wondered, 'How do they do it?'—you're not alone. Sydney Sweeney , known for her luminous complexion as much as her acting chops, has become a modern skin-care inspiration. If you're ready to revitalize your routine and unlock a glow worthy of the spotlight, here are five essential skincare tips from the 'Euphoria' and 'Anyone But You' star, designed to help you look and feel your absolute best—every single day. 1. Radiate your skin with the ice facial reset Image credits: X Sydney's top beauty tip isn't a $200 serum or some impossible celebrity hack, instead it's the ice! Every morning, Sydney reaches for an ice roller. Rubbing ice over her face helps depuff, calm inflammation, and define her features for that instant-fresh look. This easy DIY cryotherapy trick tightens pores, boosts circulation, and reduces redness. Experts and facialists love ice for this reason, and Sydney proves you don't need fancy tools for radiant results. 2. Double cleanse your skin if it demands Even if you don't wear heavy makeup, pollution and SPF can cling to skin. Years of battling breakouts taught Sydney the value of a thorough yet gentle cleanse. Whether fresh off a film set or just facing the daily grime of city life, she's a double cleanse devotee. Start with an oil or balm cleanser on dry skin, rinse, then follow with a gentle gel or foam cleanser for a truly clean canvas. 3. Serums and moisturizers are your BFFs Image credits: X Sydney knows that the key to her 'juicy' skin is hydration, inside and out. She's obsessed with hyaluronic acid-rich serums and creams. After cleansing, pat on a hydrating serum and follow up with a moisturizer that never feels heavy or sticky. Look for formulas with hyaluronic acid or ceramides to lock in moisture all day. 4. Keep it simple even when you use skin technology You don't need to have expensive gadgets. An affordable ice roller or occasional LED mask can do the trick. The real secret is consistency over quantity. Sydney loves to use red light therapy and microcurrent devices to soothe or treat her skin, especially after long days in makeup. Yet, she says being tech savvy is good, still opt for the minimalistic look. 5. Keep the SPF with you Image credits: Getty Images Having struggled with acne and sensitivity, Sydney swears by simple, gentle routines—nothing overly complicated or harsh. She uses lightweight, non-comedogenic formulas and avoids over-exfoliating. Choose a lightweight, broad-spectrum SPF 30+ that won't clog pores. Make it a non-negotiable last step in your routine, every single day. Sydney Sweeney's skin care philosophy proves that you don't need a shelf full of products to have great skin. Her honest approach—ice therapy, double cleansing, hydration-packed serums, skin-tech, and never missing SPF—shows that beauty is about consistency, simplicity, and listening to your skin. If you're looking for a skin reset, try Sydney's tips.
