Sydney Sweeney ‘Wouldn't Be Opposed' To Starring in Barbie Sequel
In a recent interview with Bustle, Sydney Sweeney shared her thoughts on joining a potential Barbie sequel. The 27-year-old was asked about the possibility of being cast in a follow-up to Greta Gerwig's 2023 blockbuster. While she didn't confirm any involvement, she was open to the idea of being a part of the franchise.
Sweeney said, 'I'd have to read a script, but I'm a huge, huge fan of Margot [Robbie], so I would not be opposed to it.' During the conversation, the interviewer also suggested the actresses could play sisters in a future film. Sweeney also agreed that the idea could be fun to explore.
The Anyone but You star's remarks come as excitement continues to build around the possibility of a sequel to Barbie, following the film's massive success. Released in 2023, the movie earned over $1.4 billion globally and starred Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in the lead roles.
The actress also spoke about her return to the set of Euphoria in the interview, where she plays Cassie. She described the experience of returning for the third installment as feeling like a 'reunion.' She said, 'I'm so happy to be back. It feels like I'm with my OG family. We've been doing this since I was 20 years old. There are many crew members who are still here from Season 1 and Season 2.'
Sweeney also talked about the unpredictable production schedule of the television series, which makes it difficult to plan ahead. She said, 'If I have time, then I try to go home to Idaho, see my family, go slalom skiing, and just hang out with my dogs. I love a low-key summer.'
The third season of Euphoria is currently in development and is expected to premiere in 2026.

New Yorker writer who referred to Sydney Sweeney as ‘Aryan princess' deletes series of racist X posts: ‘I hate white men'
A staffer for the New Yorker who denounced Sydney Sweeney as an 'Aryan princess' has spouted anti-white and antisemitic rhetoric in social media posts — before scrubbing her account after being called out on Friday. Doreen St. Felix, 33, had written several racist posts on X, the site formerly known as Twitter, including that 'whiteness fills me with a lot of hate' and that 'the holocaust is the worst thing to happen to black people.' The unearthed inflammatory tweets date back to 2014 — three years before the Haitian-American journalist was hired by the left-leaning magazine run by longtime editor David Remnick. Advertisement 6 Doreen St. Felix, 33, deleted her social media on Friday after inflammatory posts were unearthed. X/dstfelix St. Felix deleted her X account after her past comments resurfaced following her recent article for the Conde Nast-owned publication in which she criticized Sweeney's American Eagle campaign. In the 1,040-word piece that ran Aug. 2, she accused Sweeney's fans of wanting to 'recruit her as a kind of Aryan princess' and declared there were 'plenty of reasons' to dislike the ad. The ad has been panned by the 'woke' mob for its play on words that boasts about the blonde star's 'great jeans.' Advertisement However, it was St. Felix who was feeling the heat after X users — including conservative journalist Chris Rufo — flooded The New Yorker's site with screenshots of her past tweets. In one tweet targeting white men dated in December 2014, St. Felix wrote: 'You all are the worst. Go nurse your f–king Oedipal complexes and leave the earth to the browns and the women.' The resurfaced messages revealed a pattern of racially charged commentary spanning multiple years. Advertisement 6 St. Felix penned a provocative article for the New Yorkers in which she made reference to Sydney Sweeney as an 'Aryan princess.' American Eagle In one post, St. Felix admitted she 'writes like no white is watching.' Another declared that she 'would be heartbroken if I had kids with a white guy.' Her antipathy extended to broader cultural claims, including assertions that white people's poor hygiene 'literally started the bubonic plague, lice, syphilis.'

Check out more newsletters She also suggested that 'we lived in perfect harmony w/ the earth pre whiteness' and blamed environmental destruction specifically on 'white capitalism.' Her posts also contained provocative references to the Nazi slaughter of six million Jews. In one tweet, she described what she called 'the holocaust gesture,' writing that 'it's tricknological, when white people invoke the holocaust' because it 'allows them to step out of their whiteness and slip on fake oppression.' 6 Sweeney is starring in an ad campaign for American Eagle Outfitters. American Eagle She also wrote that 'the holocaust birthed trauma studies' and claimed it 'explains a lot about why we get so many things wrong about how trauma comes.' In another post, she claimed 'the tolerability of racism is linked to how its acted out on brown bodies. The holocaust was not tolerable bc of white victims so it ended.' 6 St. Felix scrubbed her social media on Friday. X/realchrisrufo Advertisement St. Felix could not be reached for comment after deleting her social media presence. The Post has sought comment from both Conde Nast and The New Yorker. Many of her posts were written in late 2014 against the backdrop of racial tensions that were stoked by the police-involved deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., and Eric Garner on Staten Island — both of whom were black. None of the officers involved were indicted. 6 The now-deleted posts appear to make light of the Holocaust. X/realchrisrufo Advertisement A Dec. 5, 2014, tweet referenced The Post. She wrote: 'there's a slow, second holocaust against brown people in this country and the nypost 'Supports the NYPD' so they are terrorists as well.' Social media users noted the apparent contradiction between St. Felix's past statements denouncing capitalism and her living conditions. Her listed address corresponds to a $1.3 million home in a gated Brooklyn community overlooking a marina. 6 She deleted posts declaring 'I hate white men' and calling for whiteness to be 'abolished.' Getty Images for The New Yorker Advertisement St. Felix, who has also penned articles for Vogue and Time magazine, regularly contributes to The New Yorker's Critics Notebook column. Prior to her current role, she served as editor-at-large for Lenny Letter, a newsletter created by actress Lena Dunham, and worked as a culture writer for MTV News. Forbes named her to their '30 Under 30' media list in 2016. The following year, she earned finalist status for a National Magazine Award in Columns and Commentary, ultimately winning in the same category two years later in 2019.

American Eagle ‘almost paralyzed by body positivity' before it launched ‘sultry' Sydney Sweeney ads
American Eagle Outfitters has made a bold, divisive bet on its 'sultry' Sydney Sweeney ads — but only after its commitment to the 'body positivity' movement started to falter, experts told The Post. A decade ago, the mall-based chain's 20-year-old lingerie brand Aerie famously took off as millennials shunned Victoria's Secret and its leggy, angel-winged supermodels in favor of Aerie's ads featuring ordinary women and diverse body types. But recently, American Eagle's flagging sales show that 'inclusive fashion' has its limits — especially after the election of President Trump, experts say. Advertisement 7 Sydney Sweeney's provocative ad for American Eagle Outfitters has created a firestorm that's even drawn in President Trump. American Eagle 7 Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle was ratcheting up the provocative ads before the Sweeney campaign. American Eagle 'They were almost paralyzed by their body positivity movement and were cautious about coming across too sexy,' according to retail analyst Gabriella Santaniello, who heads up A-Line Partners. Advertisement In recent months, the retailer has been pivoting to more provocative looks — even before the Sweeney campaign rocked the internet late last month, Santaniello said. String bikinis and 'cheeky bottoms' that expose more of women's butts, for example, were previously only available on American Eagle's website, but started cropping up in its stores earlier this year, she noted. Susan Scafidi, director of the Fashion Law Institute, has likewise noticed 'edgier' looks and 'more sultry styling. 'This means featuring fewer boxy t-shirts and more cropped camisoles,' she said. 7 American Eagle has been edgier in its marketing even before the Sydney Sweeney campaign, experts told The Post. American Eagle Advertisement What's more — unlike competitors including Abercrombie & Fitch, Hollister, and the Gap — some pages on American Eagle's website have lately shown models going braless under various tops — and they aren't always subtle about it. 'All of the teen retailers shy away from the nipple,' Santaniello said. 'That's why it's so odd that they're going for it.' 7 Most teen retailers avoid the nipple look, according retail analyst Gabriella Santaniello. American Eagle Then, in late July, came the Sweeney spots. In one video, the 'White Lotus' and 'Euphoria' star tinkers under the hood of a vintage Mustang GT350 before slamming it shut, wiping her hands on the butt of her jeans — and peeling off in a cloud of burning rubber. Advertisement Days later, President Trump gushed that the ads were 'hot' and 'fantastic' after he learned Sweeney was a registered Republican. The company's shares surged 23% on Trump's comment, drawing comparisons to meme stocks. 7 American Eagle has been among the leading voices among retailers on body positivity messaging. Getty Images for Aerie 'They had to do something different,' said Hitha Herzog, a fashion management professor at Parsons School of Design. 'We have a conservative president in office and we are seeing conversations that skew away from body positivity, inclusion and diversity. 'American Eagle has always been good about knowing where the conversations are going,' Herzog added. Traffic to American Eagle's US website soared following the campaign's rollout on July 23, rising more than 60% on July 28 compared to the same day last year, according to data and insights company Consumer Edge. Meanwhile, however, left-wing critics seized upon the campaign's tagline 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans'. In one clip, Sweeney explains that genes 'often determin[e] traits like hair color, personality and even eye color,' before declaring, 'My jeans are blue.' 7 The Sydney Sweeney American Eagle campaign includes scenes of the star looking under a hood of Mustang. American Eagle An ensuing fracas claimed the ads were promoting Nazi ideology, calling for boycotts of the 48-year-old company. According to a survey this week by Axios and Generation Lab, 39% of young women and 42% of Democrats said the ads made them less likely to buy American Eagle jeans. Advertisement In the week of Aug. 3, foot traffic at American Eagle stores dropped 8.9% on top of a 3.9% decline the previous week — far steeper than drops at rival chains including Abercrombie and the Gap, according to Pass_by. 'When a brand sees momentum stall so sharply, it often reflects a reputational or cultural factor,' said James Ewen, vice president of marketing for Pass_by. 7 Aerie won market share from Victoria Secret's teen brand, Pink. Bloomberg via Getty Images Advertisement American Eagle posted its only message about the ad so far on Aug. 1 on its Instagram account. 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans is and always was about the jeans. 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,' the company said.
