Her jeans are red.
Actress Sydney Sweeney’s voter registration has come to light amid the woke backlash surrounding her controversial American Eagle denim campaign.
The 27-year-old “Euphoria” actress has been registered with the Republican Party of Florida in Monroe County since June 2024, according to public voter records viewed by The Post.
The starlet’s party affiliation was first reported by Buzzfeed News Saturday, after a viral post on X that read: “was about to make a whole youtube video exploring sydney sweeney’s choices not defending her but going through her career context and i just found out this lady is an actual registered member of the republican party as of 2024.”
The post was part of a fierce firestorm ignited by lefty critics over the provocative ad featuring the blonde-haired, blue-eyed “White Lotus” starlet — with some even comparing it to “Nazi propaganda” that’s promoting racism and eugenics.
In one video released as part of the marketing campaign, Sweeney explains that genes are passed down from parents to offspring “often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color,” before proclaiming, “my jeans are blue.”
A narrator then chimes in, “Sydney Sweeney, has great jeans.”
In another ad, the actress approaches a billboard with her likeness and the phrase, “Sydney Sweeney has great genes,” which she alters to cross out “genes” and write “jeans.”
American Eagle shot back at critics Friday, defending its denim campaign and the “Anyone But You” star.
“‘Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans’ is and always was about the jeans,” the company said in a statement. “Her jeans. Her story.”
“We’ll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way,” the statement said. “Great jeans look good on everyone.”
Even the White House jumped into the fray, with President Trump’s communications director, Steven Cheung, coming to Sweeney’s defense in a post late Tuesday that called the left-wing blowback “cancel culture run amok.”
While Sweeney herself has yet to respond to the public reaction, this is now the second time the Emmy nominee has ruffled feathers in liberal circles.
Sweeney faced sharp criticism in 2022 after her family threw a 60th birthday party for her mother, where revelers wore red caps that played on the MAGA slogan – “Make Sixty Great Again” — and “Blue Lives Matter” shirts.
She said at the time the family hoedown was misinterpreted as an “absurd” political statement.
Sweeney’s reps didn’t immediately return requests for comment.
