Ella Langley is the new face of American Eagle, but this is not just another celebrity ad. On February 14, 2026, the Alabama singer officially became the brand’s “Denim Darling.” This change comes right after the brand moved away from a campaign with Sydney Sweeney that some people found too sexual.
Instead of a movie star, American Eagle chose a girl who grew up wearing their clothes.
The brand is now focusing on a simple and personal story, and Ella is the right pick for it. Ella says her mom used to bedazzle her AE shorts when she was a little girl in her small hometown. She wanted the photos to look like a normal day in her life, not a big Hollywood production. This country-cool look is all about being yourself and feeling comfortable in your own skin.

The fans are already loving this new direction and think Ella is the perfect choice. One person wrote that seeing a real country girl in jeans makes them want to go shopping right now. Another fan said that Ella’s smile is the best thing about the whole campaign. Everyone seems happy to see a singer who stays grounded, even as she becomes a huge star.
While she is busy with fashion, Ella is also making history in the music world. She is the first woman ever to hit the “Triple Crown” by being number one on three major charts at once. Her song Choosin’ Texas is the top hit on the Billboard Hot 100, Hot Country Songs, and Country Airplay. This is a massive win for women in country music.

Her music career is moving fast, and she has a brand-new album, Dandelion, coming out this April. She wrote eighteen songs for it and worked with the famous Miranda Lambert. The songs are about being tough and staying true to your roots, just like a dandelion that can grow anywhere.
