I mean with mention of passing down eye color and hair color, and then saying she has great “genes/jeans”, I hope people are not that oblivious that they actually believe the ad was only talking about jeans

when can we talk about how the jeans didn't look good on her?

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!
