Sydney Sweeney's Icy Blonde Bob Dominates AFI Fest

At the AFI Fest premiere of Christy in Los Angeles on Oct. 25, Sydney Sweeney debuted a chin‑length, ultra‑glossy “bleached suede”/icy‑blonde bob paired with a pale pink custom Miu Miu lace halter gown. Colorist Jacob Schwartz and hairstylist Glen Coco (Glen Oropeza) documented a deliberate weeklong transformation using Schwarzkopf Professional IGORA Royal, IGORA Vibrance, Vario Blond lightener and Kérastase Gloss Absolu and styling products to lift, blend and shape the blunt bob. Sweeney and her team framed the dramatic cut and color as a “big hair moment” supporting her role as boxing trailblazer Christy Martin — which required intense weight gain and boxing training, with real‑life boxer Christy Martin involved as a coach — in David Michôd’s Christy, co‑starring Ben Foster and Merritt Wever, ahead of its scheduled Nov. 7, 2025 release. The look, finished with rosy/coral makeup and understated jewelry, rapidly dominated social feeds and fashion coverage and arrived amid wider headlines about Sweeney’s personal life and recent career reactions.
