Sydney Sweeney enjoyed a lively night out in Los Angeles with her fellow stars from “Euphoria,” including Maude Apatow, Hunter Schafer, and Jacob Elordi, amidst ongoing backlash over her recent American Eagle ad campaign. The group was seen at The GasLite bar in Santa Monica on August 2, participating in karaoke, with fans capturing videos of the actresses singing 4 Non Blondes’ “What’s Up?” and enjoying themselves.
This outing comes at a time when Sweeney has faced criticism for her role as the face of American Eagle’s fall denim campaign, which has drawn scrutiny for implications tied to genetics and racial sensitivity. Despite the controversy, the actress appeared to be in high spirits, laughing and engaging with her castmates. The campaign, titled “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans,” has been defended by the brand, emphasizing that it focuses on showcasing the denim with a personal touch to Sweeney’s story.
The “Euphoria” cast is currently filming for the much-anticipated third season, which began production in February. However, details about the new season remain largely under wraps. The story will pick up with the characters after a significant time jump following high school.
While Sweeney has yet to address the backlash directly, her fun night out shows her determination to maintain a positive outlook amidst the criticism. The new season of “Euphoria” is set to include new faces like Rosalía and Marshawn Lynch, adding excitement for viewers as they await its premiere, projected for 2026.
Reflecting on Sweeney’s ability to navigate criticism and share laughter with her colleagues illustrates the strength of camaraderie in the entertainment industry. It serves as a reminder that even in challenging times, friendship and joy can shine through.
