Here’s Why Sydney Sweeney Is Now a Brunette With Bangs

Sydney Sweeney is looking a little different these days. The Euphoria star is known for her long blonde hair, but that hair is nowhere to be seen in her most recent Instagram photos — and there’s an important reason why.

Sweeney shared two surprising photos of herself to Instagram and was nearly unrecognizable in the pics, most notably because of her hair. Gone was the dark blonde color and in its place, brunette curls and curly bangs. Her hair is pulled back in a low ponytail and she wears a red tank, gray sweatpants, and retro high-top sneakers.

Turns out that the transformation is for — you guessed it! — a movie role. “Well the cats out of the bag thanks to some paps in bushes so here’s a little bts from my film I’m working on right now,” Sweeney wrote. “Over the past few months, I’ve been immersed in training to bring to life the story of an incredible woman—a true champion who fought battles both inside and outside the ring. Her journey is a testament to resilience, strength, and hope, and I’m honored to step into her shoes to share her powerful story with you all.” See the images here.
