Who doesn't love a dramatic celeb makeover? Whether it's Chareethra Chandran's French bob and fringe, Bella Hadid's pixie cut or Cardi B's copper Pamela Anderson-style bouffant, it's great to see the biggest stars levelling up their hair game and giving us some hair-spiration to rock at home.
The latest to join the ranks of the 180-degree transformation? None other than Euphoria and White Lotus actress, and former Cosmopolitan UK cover star, Sydney Sweeney.
Sydney's trademark look is her stunning, long, blonde hair: the woman looks like she stepped straight out of a shampoo commercial, 24/7. Recently, however, she's been shaking up her signature style and venturing into more experimental hair territory: trying out a wet look 'do, a 60s throwback platinum fringe and even full-on Jessica Rabbit red.
Now, she's taking things even further: debuting a drastic change on the cover of Vogue Hong Kong. In a cover shoot photographed by Petra Collins (whose aesthetic basically defined Tumblr back in the day), Sydney rocked bleached eyebrows and a tousled micro-bob to match. Very edgy, if we say so ourselves.
The punkish look matches the mood of the shoot, which sees Sydney rocking the Gucci x Adidas collab while brooding on location in Santa Clarita, California in various artsy shots, including; posing on top of a burning car, lounging against a wire chainlink fence and wearing Atsuko Kudo latex fetishwear.
If only Cassie Howard could see our girl Sydney now...
