Sydney Sweeney launches new Jimmy Choo campaign amid ad controversy
Sydney Sweeney's new Jimmy Choo campaign follows her controversial American Eagle ad, which sold out quickly despite accusations of promoting eugenics and glorifying white heritage.
- American Eagle launched its Sydney Sweeney ad campaign in July 2023, generating widespread attention and controversy nationwide.
- The campaign's wordplay on 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans' led to accusations of promoting eugenics, sparking online debate and political responses.

- The combined Sweeney and Kelce campaigns have generated 40 billion impressions and increased purchase intent significantly, said executives on a Q2 earnings call.
- American Eagle expects to convert this marketing momentum into business growth through year-end amid a challenging retail environment with tariff impacts and store closures.
