American Eagle Stands by Sydney Sweeney ‘Great Jeans’ Campaign After Controversy Sparks Debate Online

American Eagle has firmly stood behind its Fall 2025 denim campaign, titled “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans,” clarifying that the ad was intended to highlight the brand’s signature denim and inspire confidence across all body types.

In response to backlash over perceived references to genetics and eugenics—due to the wordplay on “genes”—the company emphasized that the campaign was purely a celebration of personal style and inclusivity.

Despite the controversy, American Eagle has seen increased engagement and visibility, positioning the campaign as a successful moment in fashion marketing.
