Sydney Sweeney, the breakout star of HBO's Euphoria, has fired back at commentator Megyn Kelly after Kelly criticised her recent American Eagle campaign. The ad, which promotes the brand's new jeans, features Sweeney in a series of playful poses—some of which Kelly deemed overly provocative.
Kelly took to social media to compare Sweeney's campaign to Brooke Shields' controversial 1980s Calvin Klein ads, suggesting that the young actress was being exploited. Sweeney, however, wasn't having it. She responded with a cheeky Instagram post, captioning a behind-the-scenes clip: "Sorry for my body, Megyn."
The exchange has sparked debate online, with fans rallying behind Sweeney for her unapologetic confidence. Many have praised the actress for reclaiming her narrative in an industry often scrutinised for its portrayal of women.
American Eagle has yet to comment on the controversy, but the brand's social media engagement suggests they're more than happy with the attention.
