Sydney Sweeney attended a screening for "Americana" amid her American Eagle ad controversy as the movie star's 2019 gun range training video resurfaced.

President Donald Trump offered praise Monday for actress Sydney Sweeney amid backlash over her denim ad campaign with American Eagle. "Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the HOTTEST ad out there," Trump wrote on his social media platform.

On July 23, American Eagle launched its new fall campaign with Sweeney as the face, titled “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans.” In addition to the images, which were styled by Sweeney's regular stylist Molly Dickson, the campaign features an ad in which Sweeney defines the scientific word “genes” while pulling on her American Eagle jeans.
