American Eagle’s campaign features Sweeney in denim, standing beside a billboard that reads “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Genes" before replacing "jeans" with "genes."

The “great jeans” ad campaign from denim retailer American Eagle Outfitters Inc., featuring actress Sydney Sweeney, has sparked anger from some progressives, support from conservatives, and a jump in social-media followers,

American Eagle sparked a firestorm online late last month when the clothing company released a commercial featuring Sweeney, an actress known for her roles on Euphoria and The White Lotus.
