The Controversy of American Eagle Jeans Campaign:
Ad slogan backlash: The fall 2025 campaign of American Eagle, with Sydney Sweeney, carried the tagline, Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans. The pun on the word genes, it was argued by critics, was a reference to language of the eugenics era, and the fact that Sweeney was blonde with blue eyes did not help.
Celebrities take sides: Music stars such as Lizzo and Beyonce entered the discussion; former President Trump called the advertisement a very funny thing in terms of its randomness.
The White House communications director denounced the backlash as the “cancel culture gone wild” and attributed it to the formation of political divides.
J.D. Vance made a point in criticizing Democratic reactions and referred to them as overreactions and stated that mainstream values are being misinterpreted.
Corporate action: American Eagle maintains that the campaign was never about genetics, but about jeans, by focusing on inclusivity, and the idea that great jeans fit on everyone, and the focus on confidence.
Stock market effect:The campaign was able to increase AE visibility and stock by a significant margin, ranging between 7 percentage points to 18 percentage points, and the gains were up to three hundred and forty six million dollars in market capitalization.
