Her denims are crimson.
Actress Sydney Sweeney’s voter registration has come to gentle amid the woke backlash surrounding her controversial American Eagle denim marketing campaign.
The 27-year-old “Euphoria” actress has been registered with the Republican Occasion of Florida in Monroe County since June 2024, in accordance with public voter information considered by The Publish.
The starlet’s get together affiliation was first reported by Buzzfeed Information Saturday, after a viral submit on X that learn: “was about to make a whole youtube video exploring sydney sweeney’s choices not defending her but going through her career context and i just found out this lady is an actual registered member of the republican party as of 2024.”
The submit was a part of a fierce firestorm ignited by lefty critics over the provocative advert that includes the blonde-haired, blue-eyed “White Lotus” starlet — with some even evaluating it to “Nazi propaganda” that’s selling racism and eugenics.
In a single video launched as a part of the advertising and marketing marketing campaign, Sweeney explains that genes are handed down from dad and mom to offspring “often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color,” earlier than proclaiming, “my jeans are blue.”
A narrator then chimes in, “Sydney Sweeney, has great jeans.”
In one other advert, the actress approaches a billboard together with her likeness and the phrase, “Sydney Sweeney has great genes,” which she alters to cross out “genes” and write “jeans.”
American Eagle shot again at critics Friday, defending its denim marketing campaign and the “Anyone But You” star.
“‘Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans’ is and always was about the jeans,” the corporate mentioned in an announcement. “Her jeans. Her story.”
“We’ll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way,” the assertion mentioned. “Great jeans look good on everyone.”
Even the White Home jumped into the fray, with President Trump’s communications director, Steven Cheung, coming to Sweeney’s protection in a submit late Tuesday that known as the left-wing blowback “cancel culture run amok.”
Whereas Sweeney herself has but to reply to the general public response, that is now the second time the Emmy nominee has ruffled feathers in liberal circles.
Sweeney confronted sharp criticism in 2022 after her household threw a sixtieth birthday celebration for her mom, the place revelers wore crimson caps that performed on the MAGA slogan – “Make Sixty Great Again” — and “Blue Lives Matter” shirts.
She mentioned on the time the household hoedown was misinterpreted as an “absurd” political assertion.
Sweeney’s reps didn’t instantly return requests for remark.
