Sara Foster responded to Sydney Sweeney’s recent jeans ad controversy through a cryptic social media post. Her comment came with a clever caption that sparked social media speculation, with followers connecting it to Sweeney’s American Eagle campaign. Interestingly, some users also claimed they could hear the Anyone But You actress’ voice while reading Foster’s post.
How did Sara Foster defend Sydney Sweeney’s ad?
The Barely Famous star recently flaunted her bikini body in a mirror clip where she was sporting jeans from her own clothing brand, Favorite Daughter.
In the caption of the Instagram video, Sara Foster wrote, “Jeans are ok. I have seen better.” This immediately reminded fans of Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle ad, where the tagline says, “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.”
Many netizens speculated if Foster’s new video references Sweeney’s ad, as one commented, “I heard Sydney’s voice reading this.” Another wondered, “Is this anti-American Eagle ad?” To which Foster defended the Euphoria star’s new campaign, stating, “Absolutely not. Anyone upset about that ad needs to walk on grass.”
Before Sara Foster, the official X (formerly Twitter) page of The White House had also posted a supportive message for Sweeney’s new ad. In the post, President Donald Trump is facing away from the camera with his palms near his face as the caption reads, “Have you seen the Sydney Sweeney ad?”
Trump further talked about Sweeney’s ad when a reporter asked him on August 3 if he knew that The Handmaid’s Tale star is a “registered Republican.” He responded, “You’d be surprised at how many people are Republicans.” Trump added, “That’s what I wouldn’t have known, but I’m glad you told me that. If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic.”
Additionally, American Eagle has released a statement defending the ad, which some netizens claimed reinforces racial biases. The apparel company stated in an Instagram post that the ad “is and always was about the jeans.” They added, “We’ll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way.”
