The controversy swirling around American Eagle Outfitters ‘ “Great Jeans” campaign with Sydney Sweeney does not appear to be subsiding.
For more than 10 days, the ads featuring “The White Lotus” actress have been garnering news story and social media backlash. U.S. President Donald Trump stoked the situation over the weekend, and David Lipman, a veteran creative director in advertising, suggested Monday that the American Eagle campaign knocked off one that he did with Georgia May Jagger for Hudson Jeans in 2009.
After learning from a reporter about Sweeney’s voter status, Trump weighed in on Truth Social with “ #SydneySweeney , a registered Republican, has the HOTTEST ad out there. It’s for American Eagle, and the jeans are ‘flying of the shelves.’ Go get ‘em Sydney.”
