Sydney Sweeney, who’s known for her long, luscious, and voluminous blonde hair, pulled a Billie Eilish and did a total beauty 180 at the 2024 Oscars, debuting a—gasp!—bob.
It seems like every A-lister has a bob these days. But this is an entire hair transformation for Sweeney. The Anything But You star is so strongly associated with her long hair that when I saw the photos from the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscars Party, I had to do a double take. Was that really the woman I knew and loved from Euphoria? Yes, it was!
While Sweeney is almost unrecognizable as herself, she now bears a strong resemble to an Old Hollywood icon—especially while done up in her Vanity Fair Oscars Party glam and ensemble. Sweeney’s honey bombshell bob, which is so iconic it’s deserving is own Academy Award, is very much giving modern-day Marilyn Monroe. Worn with her cream white archival Marc Bouwer gown and classic French manicure, I’m almost wondering if the 26-year-old is gearing up for a Monroe bio-pic. But maybe that’s just me manifesting (probably).

Sweeney’s supermodel bob may be a classic style, but it’s especially on trend. Pro hairstylists anticipate that bombshell bobs like like the supermodel and baroque bob will be everywhere this spring. As for how to style the trending chop? Take some notes from hairstylist Glen Oropeza, who you might know as his Instagram handle @glencocoforhair: He created Sweeney’s look for the night.
First, Oropeza prepped Sweeney’s damp hair with Kerastase Chroma Absolu Serum Chroma Thermique and Premiere Serum Filler Fondamental. Then, he blow-dried Sweeney’s hair using Kristin Ess Hair Soft Volume Blow-Dry brush, sectioning it off with Kristen Ess Do It All Sectioning Clips. He also went in with the blow-dry brush in smaller sections to curl the hair underneath itself at the ends.
