Sydney Sweeney’s Wild Night Out Amid American Eagle Controversy

Sydney Sweeney had a boozy night out with friends and she shared the photos from the wild experience on Instagram.

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?’

‘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’. 

Her next film is Eden which opens on August 22

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.’
