Actress Sydney Sweeney and singer Halsey are facing new criticism over a bikini ad that is making the rounds following the “Euphoria” star’s controversial jeans ad.
The American Eagle brand chose the actress to be the star of their “great jeans” campaign, but some felt that the slogan was poking fun at “great genes” amid allegations of eugenics and white supremacy.

In a throwback bikini ad, Sydney posed beside Halsey as she tugged on the narrow strip of fabric that covered her chest. The swimsuit did not leave much to the imagination, showing off many of Halsey’s tattoos. Although some ad loved the “stunning” ad, others were not a fan and called it “disgusting.”
“We do not need to know that they got a Brazilian wax. Disgusting,” one user wrote. “Is their only talent to show skin?” another user asked. This second comment got a reaction from a fan, who shot back, “Is your only talent to make pusillanimous comments on X?”

The two women posed together for another behind-the-scenes snap that featured them posing in another bikini set. Sydney is wearing a lilac blue bikini that provides a bit more coverage, while Halsey is wearing the same model in pink. Her tattoos are still on full display as they pose with their arms wrapped around each other.
One fan praised their “full-on girl power,” while another follower said that they were “beautiful, awesome, and very nice” next to a long string of red heart emojis. A third user didn’t seem to like seeing them together, as they wrote, “Noooo, get her away from Halsey!”

Putting aside the conversation about eugenics and allegations of racism, many fans feel that her seductive ad for American Eagle might be hurting her career. “I’m sorry, but she will never be taken seriously as an actress if she keeps making these videos for the male gaze…” one fan wrote under a video of the ad.
“As long as the check clears, do you think she cares?” another user asked. However, another fan seemed to agree, writing, “Couldn’t have said it better. It’s so frustrating seeing a talent reduce herself like this when she doesn’t have to.”

He went on to say, “This warped, moronic, and dense liberal thinking is a big reason why Americans voted the way they did in 2024. They’re tired of this bullsh-t.” It remains to be seen how the political controversy will impact her career.
