Sydney Sweeney debuted a new look while taking on her psychological thriller role in The Housemaid — and it seems the glam team used the She’s All That glasses method.
The actress, 27, transformed into her seemingly mild-mannered maid character, Millie Calloway, with a few subtle touches in a newly released trailer for the film which dropped on Tuesday, September 16, showing the complex dynamic between Millie and lead costar Amanda Seyfried, who plays her wealthy employer, Nina Winchester.
The clip starts off with Millie arriving at Nina’s house in a makeup-free look. She teamed her fresh face with eye glasses and wavy hair.
Throughout the trailer, Sweeney starts to give herself a makeover by first taking off her glasses — reminding Us of when Zach Siler (Freddie Prinze Jr.) takes off Laney Boggs’ (Rachael Leigh Cook) eyewear to transform her into a prom queen in She’s All That. The scene went viral for everyone then realizing that Laney was beautiful all along.
Relive Sydney Sweeney’s Dramatic Fashion Evolution Through the Years
Towards the end of the teaser, Sweeney has a major switchup when she comes down a staircase in full glam. Her blonde hair was styled in big, bouncy curls, instead of the soft waves from earlier.
She also donned a dramatic makeup look including dewy foundation, filled-in eyebrows, bronzey eyeshadow, long lashes, rosy cheeks and pink lips. She wore a white textured top complete with a strapless plunging neckline and pearl buttons.
More movies that have involved a now-famous makeover include The Princess Diaries, where Mia Thermopolis (Anne Hathaway) took off her glasses, styled her frizzy hair and started wearing makeup.
In The Summer I Turned Pretty, Belly Conklin (Lola Tung) had her glow-up when she took off her glasses and got her braces off, sparking interest from both her family friends, Conrad and Jeremiah Fisher.
