Sydney Sweeney‘s co-star’s recent comment might just bring back the dying ‘jeans’ controversy. The Euphoria star is treading on thin ice after her collaboration with a global denim brand went viral for all the wrong reasons. However, her colleague casually dropping a ‘jeans’ comment in a recent video might reignite the backlash Sydney has spent months suffering from.
Amanda Seyfried talks about jeans in Sydney Sweeney’s presence
Amanda Seyfried had Sydney Sweeney holding her breath and widening her eyes with her ‘jeans’ comment in a rapid-fire video with Vogue. Here’s a detailed explanation of how the situation unfolded:
The Houesemaid co-stars, Amanda Seyfried and Sydney Sweeney, recently appeared in a rapid-fire video on Vogue’s YouTube channel. The controversial comment was made when Sweeney, 28, asked Seyfried, “If you could only wear one item from your closet, what would it be?” In her response, the Mean Girls star said, “Denim. My jeans”, while giving Sweeney a side glance.
Having said that, the video clearly shows that Seyfried wasn’t trying to strike a nerve or instigate further controversy. In fact, it was Sweeney who first expressed her love for jeans in the video. When asked,” What fashion trend or item should just stay in trend forever?”, Sydney instantly replied, “Loose jeans.” Concurring with her, Amanda said, “Yes. Agreed” before the 28-year-old again added, “I don’t like skinny jeans.”
The statement clarified that they were expressing their preference for loose jeans over skinny jeans and also that Sydney has no issue with someone talking about jeans in her presence.
For those wondering what all the ‘jeans’ controversy is about, Sweeney faced severe backlash earlier this year for her American Eagle ad, “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans”. Critics and viewers interpreted the ad as having racial undertones because of the wordplay between “jeans” and “genes”.
American Eagle, however, has denied the allegations and published a statement defending their advertisement on Instagram. “‘Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans’ is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story. We’ll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone,” it said.
