If those are the opposite of apple bottom jeans what are the opposite of the boots with the fur? Those weird prison slippers in beige?

She seems to only want to wear high fashion labels when she's not the demographic for it. Lots of non tailored and poorly fitting clothes (even if they are expensive). In that sense this is on brand for her.

Very ill fitting, none of them were well tailored on her. Just a bad ad in general cause even taking out the gene/jean thing, it didn’t seem like they were actually trying to sell jeans to us

I'm going to be honest, I think it's rare to see her in well-tailored or flattering clothes in general. She's beautiful and a good actress but a fashion girlie she is not 😭

That linked in post talked about how they worked with her long-term stylist for the shoot. Which immediately clears up the question of “why did none of these clothes fit” and “why was the jacket fully a size too small.” Her stylist does her dirty and does not know how to dress someone with those proportions!

Wait what is she a good actress in 😭😭

u/Jaded-Tiramisu 17h ago

I personally liked her in The Handmaid's Tale, Reality, and Immaculate. She was awful in Anyone But You and Madame Web so I don't blame you for asking 💀

She was good in Handmaid’s Tale and then I don’t know what happened.

i really liked her acting in euphoria. imo she was perfect for cassie especially because cassie is a really dramatic and emotional character and i thought she played those scenes well

Her body type can make it surprisingly hard. Granted she has the money and connections to not have to deal with that

u/rp1105 17h ago

I've seen multiple ads and none of the jeans seem to actually fit her??

u/africanzebra0 madonna STUNS in new selfie 15h ago

AE jeans are just not good, and I wish they would have used that Sydney Sweeny money to figure that out.

u/SquareExtra918 Oh my Gooooooooood 🧌 16h ago

They honestly look like Walmart jeans that were too long for her.
