Despite backlash against American Eagle's 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' ad, it shows a shift to traditional, sales-focused advertising and a move to the middle.

Sydney Sweeney's brother has broken his silence on her controversial American Eagle jeans ad. Newsweek reached out to Sweeney's representative for comment on Friday via email and Trent Sweeney via Instagram outside regular working hours.

Sydney Sweeney appeared at a film screening in Los Angeles. This was after her American Eagle denim campaign faced criticism. The campaign's tagline sparked debate. Some felt it had racial overtones.
