We have long been fans of Sydney Sweeney – we adore her amazing acting talent, but also her ever-changing hair looks that have us on the edge of our seats. From her time on Euphoria to her red carpet moments, she truly never plays it safe when it comes to her locks, from bold cuts to playful textures to casual-cool updos. So, whether you are thinking of revamping your own style or just searching for some inspiration, Sydney Sweeney’s many hairstyles should give plenty of food for thought. Ahead, we break down five of Sweeney’s most memorable hair and makeup moments for when you need to inject a bit of style into your mood board.

1. Modern Bardot

One of the eye-catching looks Sydney Sweeney has worn is the Modern Bardot, a hairstyle paying homage to the timeless beauty of Brigitte Bardot. This style is all about the volume and the sultry waves. It’s just the right amount of sophisticated and relaxed—appropriate for all occasions, from a day of errands to a night out.

A Modern Bardot Look, How to Get It

To achieve Sydney’s Modern Bardot hair look, you’ll want to create a bit of lift at the roots. You can do this using a volumizing mousse or root-booster spray. With your hair prepped, loosely curl your hair with a large-barreled iron in very loose waves. For that signature volume, backcomb the crown of your hair to create lift, then smooth over the top. Complete by misting on a flexible-hold hairspray so the waves are bouncy, but not stiff.

It looks particularly good on medium to long hair and is so versatile that it has a place on our mood boards.

2. Ginger Waves

Sydney Sweeney has never been one to shy away from bold choices when it comes to hair color, and her ginger waves are one of her most daring looks yet. It is her fiery red tone that works so well with her skin tone, and the waves lend to a more playful yet sophisticated look. For when you want to make a statement or add a little something extra, this hair look doesn’t mess around.

How to Get the Ginger Waves

To achieve this look, begin with a bright copper hair hue. If you aren’t a natural redhead, find a colorist who is a pro at hair dye — look for warm, red tones that work best for your skin. After letting the color settle in, make some breezy beach waves with a medium-barrel curling iron. Concentrate on curling small sections of hair in different directions to achieve a ‘natural’ yet undone finish. To complete, spritz a texturizing spray for more fullness and hold.

This playful vibe can be complemented with bold style (as in the cool Jerry and George tees) or kept classic; that all depends on the rest of your mood board.

3. Banged Bun

Banged Bun The banged bun is another style that has been seen on Sydney Sweeney often. This style strikes the right note – youthful, yet sophisticated. And the fringe framing her face gives it a relaxed feel – a little bit scrunched-up, a little polished – which, whether balancing out the eveningwear or sharp tailoring, feels like the perfect teeny piece of undone-upness in an outfit. For your slumbering days at work or a lazy weekend style, the bangs bun is the go-to for those wanting a stylish look that doesn’t require a lot of effort.

If you’re not prepared yet to make such an irreversible commitment, style your bangs (or add a set of clip-in bangs). Sydney-style bangs are long enough, if not to the collarbone, but also a little piece-y, with a less straight-across bang, suggesting less effort than that characteristic Victorian fringe. When your bangs are set, gather the rest of your hair in a soft, high bun. To add some volume, tease the crown of the head slightly before pulling hair back. Keep a few hairs loose against your face for a laid-back, cool-girl vibe. End with a hairspray to keep it all in place.

The bangs bun embodies a blend of tidied sophistication and ease that has made it a favorite in Sydney’s hair repertoire.

4. Bendy Blonde

Sydney has taught us the power of the bendy blonde, a chic and shiny hairstyle that’s classy and put-together. It is also a style that is full of loose, casual curves rather than tight swirls, and many times the hairs are softly bent rather than tight curls, giving the hair a smooth, flowing appearance that can be worn in any number of ways. It seems that whether on the red carpet or on set, the look plays up her natural beauty while also keeping a sexy, luxe vibe.

How to get bendy blonde, start by prepping your hair to make it super-conditioned, and finally apply a high-gloss shine product. First, blow out your hair with a round brush to add volume. When dry, take your flat iron to add soft bends in the hair by curling the hair halfway down rather than to the ends for a more relaxed wave. The trick is, you don’t want to go so far with tight curls, but rather search out loose bends to add movement, without the frizz. End with a shine serum to add another dimension of shine to the slick finish.

The bendy blonde look, if you have blonde or lighter-hued hair, bendy blonde is a great one for adding a bit of grown-up sophistication to your mood board.

5. Sumptuous Caramel

My absolute favourite look from Sydney is this luscious caramel hair. With its warm, honey tones and subtle highlights, this style is all about warmth and softness. Whether it’s being worn in free-flowing waves or styled into sleek lengths, the glossy caramel tones used to color her lengths knock a little dimension-boosting oomph or a lot of extra shine into her bonce and are one of the prettiest additions to any mood board we’ve ever seen.
