As the buzz continued, followers claimed, "Just when you think she couldn't get hotter ๐Ÿ”ฅ."

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump also showed support for Sweeney over the weekend after learning she has been registered with the Republican Party of Florida in Monroe County since June 2024. "She's a registered Republican?" Trump asked reporters while leaving Allentown, Pa. "Is that right, is Sydney Sweeney [a Republican]? If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic!"

In Sweeney's now-infamous monologue for her American Eagle jeans campaign, she quipped, "Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color. My jeans are blue."

However, many social media users criticized the 27-year-old's commercial appearance, pointing out her blond hair and blue eyes, likening it to "Nazi propaganda" and a "racialized dog whistle" that promotes the notion of superior white genetics.

Sydney Sweeney appears unfazed after the backlash.

The starlet faced backlash, but she seemed to brush it all off during the Americana premiere on Sunday night, August 3.

While American Eagle stood firm in support of the ad, Sweeney enjoyed a karaoke night out with her Euphoria costars Hunter Schafer and Maude Apatow at The GasLite in Santa Monica, Calif., singing "What's Up" by 4 Non Blondes, with fellow castmate Jacob Elordi also joining in.
