Sydney Sweeney, the legally blonde actress, with her black wig at the 2024 Met Gala, attracted attention, playing an already known card: the radical change of look. Is she a new find? No, she's not.

The shock effect had already been tested by Zendaya at the 2016 Met Gala, where the then 19-year-old star sported an elegant bowl cut – definitely a wig – which gave off suggestions of a medieval knight with mod coolness, Peggy Moffitt style. Her look was paired with smoky makeup in shades of gold and brown, accented with a generous dose of glitter powder on the skin, bronze cheeks and glossy lips. The star had completely transformed herself to reveal to the world her chameleonic abilities, an essential attribute for anyone with ambition as an actress. Nothing better than an event that is the best global showcase for self-branding.

You do fast forward eight years old, you will find at the Met Gala 2024 the same strategy as Zendaya's sensational change of look in 2016, revived by her set partner in the series Euphoria, Sydney Sweeany. Is she also looking for attention? To demonstrate her propensity for small advertising ploys, a few days ago the news arrived like a bean that to promote the film Anyone But Youthe two protagonists Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell admitted to having fueled the gossip about their flirtation.
Described as a petit-noir wig, the kind that steals the show, Sweeney's jet-black shag accessorized with blunt bangs draws on '80s rock imagery, inspired by guitarist Joan Jett's cut. Not exactly the same medieval mod style chosen by Zendaya a few years ago, but a more current reinterpretation, thanks to the relaxed texture, as the era of minimal effort dictates. The hair style is combined with soft girl beauty era make-up, with cheeks flushed with blush, applied with a lifting technique above the cheekbone, jelly lips flooded with gloss, false eyelashes and eyeliner. She too, then, seemed to have had an entire bottle of highlighter dripped onto the skin of her body, with a sparkling effect, to look like a fairy wrapped in a cloud of stardust (courtesy of Armani Beauty).
We said it that yesterday's Met looks always come back. Drip or skip?
