Sydney Sweeney isn't letting controversy get in the way of her latest red carpet event.
On Sunday, Aug. 3, the "Euphoria" star stepped out at a screening of her new movie "Americana" in Los Angeles amid backlash to her controversial American Eagle jeans ad.
Sweeney, 27, wore a pale yellow dress and matching headband at the screening of her upcoming crime thriller "Americana." Sweeney stars as a waitress who teams up with a military veteran (Paul Walter Hauser) to gain possession of a Native American artifact, per the studio's synopsis. Eric Dane (Sweeney's "Euphoria" costar), Halsey and Simon Rex also star in the film, which is set for release on Aug. 15. It originally premiered at the South by Southwest festival in 2023.
The red carpet came after days of discourse around Sweeney for her role in an ad campaign for American Eagle jeans, dubbed "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans."
The campaign used the wordplay of jeans and genes being homophones, and one of the ads features the actress clad in denim telling the camera, "Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color. My jeans are blue." Text then comes up on screen that says, "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans."
