Sydney Sweeney Elevates the LA Dodgers Game with Her Chic New Bob
Only Sydney Sweeney can bring glamour to a baseball game.
Sweeney, 28, flaunted her new bob at last night’s Los Angeles Dodgers game, enthusiastically supporting the team against the Toronto Blue Jays. For the occasion, she styled her blonde locks with a side part and voluminous curls, evoking an Old Hollywood aesthetic.
The actress enhanced her look with a full makeup application, including a dewy foundation, rosy cheeks, expertly filled eyebrows, and a perfectly lined pink pout. She added an extra touch of drama with black rectangular sunglasses.
The Anyone But You star first showcased her blunt bob at the AFI Fest premiere of her film Christy on October 25, styling her platinum hair in loose curls parted down the middle. She paired it with a pastel Miu Miu dress featuring a halter neckline and A-line silhouette.
Sweeney’s colorist, Jacob Schwartz, the hair color and trend ambassador for Schwarzkopf Professional, shared her transformation with Vogue, explaining that she was “looking for a change.” “[Sydney] wanted a bold hair moment for the red carpet to promote her new movie, Christy,” he remarked. “It felt like the right time to do something dramatic.”
Schwartz noted that Sweeney transitioned from a “dark suede blonde” to a brighter shade, enhancing her eyes and features. He mentioned that the new color complements “the cut beautifully.”
In Christy, Sweeney sports various hairstyles, including a brunette mullet, a shaggy pixie cut, and blonde box braids.
Her long-time hairstylist, Glen Coco, explained to Vogue earlier this month that she underwent a “transformation” for the role. “Christy embodies resilience, transformation, and power,” he described.
Coco added, “Sydney transformed herself for this role, and I aimed to create a refreshed version of her in real life. Something new and invigorating to round off the year.”
Beyond her hair transformation, the actress gained 30 pounds to portray Christy Martin.
In September, she told Vanity Fair that her “body felt completely different” during filming.
“I couldn’t fit into any of my clothes. Normally, I wear a size 23 in jeans, but I was fitting into a size 27. My breasts increased in size, and my butt grew significantly. It was surreal! I thought, ‘Oh my god,’” she shared.
Sweeney expressed pride in her journey, exclaiming that it was an “incredible” experience. “I felt exceptionally strong, like unbelievably strong.”
The official plot for Christy describes the boxer as someone who “discovers a talent for punching people.”
The synopsis continues, “Driven by grit, raw determination, and a fierce desire to win, she navigates the world of boxing under the guidance of her trainer and husband, Jim. As she showcases her fiery personality in the ring, her greatest challenges emerge outside of it, as she grapples with family, identity, and a relationship that could turn life-or-death.” Christy premiered on September 5.
