American Eagle Ad Fallout Continues
Sweeney’s sighting comes amid a swirl of controversy over her recent American Eagle advertisement, which featured the tagline “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.” The campaign faced backlash online, with critics claiming it promoted eugenics. The debate even drew in the White House and former U.S. President Donald Trump. While the White House defended the ad, Trump praised it as “fantastic” after learning the Euphoria star is a registered Republican.
Speculation Over Her Role
As for her role in the film, details remain under wraps. Sydney Sweeney’s casual on-set look—a hoodie pulled tight over her head in the rainy Manhattan weather—has fueled speculation she may be trying to keep her character a secret. Industry insiders suggest she could be making a cameo appearance, explaining the low-profile approach.
If confirmed, Sweeney would join a star-studded cast for the sequel to the iconic fashion dramedy, which famously starred Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway in the original. With filming in full swing and curiosity over Sweeney’s role growing, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is already shaping up to be one of the most talked-about movie events of 2026.
