Sydney Sweeney Transforms in The Housemaid with a She’s All That Twist
Sydney Sweeney showcased a fresh appearance while stepping into her role in the psychological thriller The Housemaid — seemingly inspired by the She’s All That glasses transformation technique.
The 27-year-old actress embodied her unassuming maid character, Millie Calloway, with subtle details highlighted in a newly released trailer for the film, which launched on Tuesday, September 16. The trailer illustrates the intricate relationship between Millie and her lead costar Amanda Seyfried, who portrays the affluent employer, Nina Winchester.
As the trailer progresses, Sweeney begins her transformation by removing her glasses — reminiscent of the moment when Zach Siler (Freddie Prinze Jr.) takes off Laney Boggs’ (Rachael Leigh Cook) eyewear in She’s All That, revealing her inherent beauty. This scene became iconic as audiences realized Laney was stunning all along.
As the teaser nears its conclusion, Sweeney undergoes a stunning transformation, descending a staircase in full glam. Her blonde locks are styled into large, bouncy curls, a departure from the soft waves she sported earlier.
Her makeup look was equally dramatic, featuring dewy foundation, well-defined brows, bronzy eyeshadow, long lashes, rosy cheeks, and pink lips. She wore a white textured top with a strapless plunging neckline adorned with pearl buttons.
Memorable movie makeovers also include The Princess Diaries, where Mia Thermopolis (Anne Hathaway) transforms by removing her glasses, taming her frizzy hair, and applying makeup.
In The Summer I Turned Pretty, Belly Conklin’s (Lola Tung) glow-up occurred when she took off her glasses and had her braces removed, garnering attention from her family friends, Conrad and Jeremiah Fisher.
Sandy Olsson (Olivia Newton-John) also experienced a transformation in Grease when she swapped her skirts, button-up tops, and soft makeup for a daring new style.
This bold makeover included smokey eyeshadow, voluminous curls, skin-tight leather pants, and an off-the-shoulder top, instantly captivating Danny Zuko (John Travolta).
