Beyoncé Called Fake By Megyn Kelly In Fashion Ad Comparison

Beyoncé is facing unexpected criticism after her latest campaign with Levi’s, with conservative commentator Megyn Kelly calling out her appearance and comparing it to Sydney Sweeney’s recent American Eagle ad. Kelly took to social media to weigh in on a new photo of Beyoncé, claiming the superstar looked overly polished and unnatural. “This is the opposite of the Sydney Sweeney ad,” she wrote. “Quite clearly there is nothing natural about Beyoncé. Everything from her image to her fame to her success to her look below is bought and paid for. Screams artificial, fake, enhanced, trying too hard.”

Kelly’s post quickly sparked backlash. Jon Favreau of Pod Save America responded to her tweet, saying, “I’d bet most normal people think both ads are just companies trying to sell products by featuring famous, beautiful women. But there are also these people.” Kelly fired back by accusing him of twisting the narrative and claimed it was not conservatives who started the debate. “Typical leftist dishonesty. Acting like conservatives started this fight and how petty we are to be commenting on a woman in a jeans ad. Now what got us here again?”

Meanwhile, the American Eagle ad featuring Sydney Sweeney has already stirred controversy of its own. Some critics have accused the campaign of using coded language and imagery that promotes outdated ideologies. The slogan “great genes” paired with her blonde hair and blue eyes led to backlash online. The drama even reached political circles when former President Donald Trump praised the ad on Truth Social, calling it the “HOTTEST” out there and applauding Sweeney as a registered Republican.

American Eagle responded in a statement saying, “’Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans’ is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story,” while reinforcing its message of confidence and inclusivity.
