Beyoncé's Bold Levi's Campaign Outshines Sydney Sweeney's Controversial American Eagle Ad
Beyoncé Sizzles in Scorching Levi's Ad, But Sydney Sweeney's Campaign is Under Fire for Being a "Nazi Propaganda"
In a shocking turn of events, Beyoncé has joined the ranks of celebrities promoting denim wearables with her sizzling new Levi's campaign. The 43-year-old queen bee stunned fans with her curves on full display in a plunging denim jacket adorned with gems and lace. But while Beyoncé is basking in the glory of her latest ad venture, fellow actress Sydney Sweeney is facing backlash for her American Eagle campaign.
The drama began when critics accused Sweeney's "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans" campaign of being a thinly veiled reference to eugenics and white supremacy. The ad features Sweeney modeling various denim ensembles while discussing the genetics that have been passed down to her from her parents, including her blonde hair and blue eyes.
But what really sparked outrage was when Sweeney quipped, "My jeans (genes) are blue." Some critics saw this as a nod to Nazi propaganda, pointing out that the phrase "great genes" has historically been used to celebrate whiteness, thinness, and attractiveness. One critic even went so far as to call it one of the "loudest and most obvious racialized dog whistles we've seen in a while."
The controversy surrounding Sweeney's campaign has left fans divided, with some defending her and others calling for a boycott of American Eagle. But not everyone is buying into the drama. As one fan pointed out on X/Twitter, "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."
Meanwhile, Beyoncé's Levi's campaign has been eerily quiet amidst the controversy surrounding Sweeney. But that didn't stop fans from drawing comparisons between the two ads. Both campaigns feature denim-on-denim styling, blonde hair, and close-up shots. However, while Beyoncé's ad is seen as empowering and confident, Sweeney's campaign is being labeled as tone-deaf and problematic.
In a bizarre twist, American Eagle defended Sweeney's campaign on Instagram, stating that the "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans" slogan was simply about celebrating individuality and confidence. But their defense only seemed to fuel the fire, with some critics calling it a "modern-day Nazi propaganda."
The controversy surrounding Sweeney's campaign has sparked a heated debate about body positivity, genetic determinism, and the power of language. As one TikTok user pointed out, "When you say 'my jeans (genes) are blue,' it's not just about your eyes being blue, it's about the underlying message that genetics determine our worth."
The scholarly note has reached out to reps for Sweeney and American Eagle for further comment on the story.
