Plenty of celebs have tried out striking beauty transformations at the Met Gala — including Sydney Sweeney. At the 2024 gala, she stepped out wearing a dramatic wig: a jet-black bob with blunt bangs, a new look for the typically blonde beauty. In keeping with the evening’s dress code — “The Garden of Time,” based on a short science fiction story by J.G. Ballard — Sweeney wore a pale blue Miu Miu gown covered in flower decals. She rounded out the look with a sparkling necklace and black opera gloves.

YouTube star Emma Chamberlain couldn’t get enough of Sweeney’s new ‘do. Serving as the Met Gala’s 2024 Vogue correspondent, she showered praise upon Sweeney while interviewing her. Chamberlain remarked, “Who is that hottie?” before inquiring, “What inspired you to do a wig?” Sweeney responded by shouting out Glen Oropeza: “Glen Coco, my hairstylist, he always pushes me to try new things.” When Chamberlain asked Sweeney if she was usually more of an edgy type or the type to go for a lighter, softer vibe, Sweeney replied, “I feel like I’m a balance of both.” Her Met Gala ensemble beautifully highlighted her duality.
