Spring is in the air, Haim is on the airwaves and the ’70s revival is here in full force. The latest to get in on the easy breezy action? None other than Sydney Sweeney , who stepped away from her usual ultra-glam, bombshell look in favour of something a little softer. She appeared at Laneige’s Bouncy & Firm Serum launch at La La Land Kind Cafe having fully embraced the Chloé girl aesthetic – think tousled waves, laid-back denim and a romantic top – and looking every bit the advocate for peace and love.
This softer approach comes amid a wave of speculation surrounding Sydney’s personal life. After calling off her engagement earlier this year, rumors about an off-screen romance with her former co-star Glen Powell have reached a fever pitch, especially after she attended a Powell family wedding as his plus-one. Naturally, TikTok has taken this as further evidence to back up the internet’s “curly hair theory” , the idea that a woman’s switch to softer waves suggests she’s found “the one”.
It’s certainly a departure from the ultra-glam aesthetic that has defined Sydney’s public persona in recent years. On and off the red carpet, she’s leaned heavily into bombshell energy – corseted silhouettes, sculpted waves and a hyper-feminine, Marilyn Monroe-inspired style. She’s not alone in turning her attention to all things boho.
Sweeney now sits alongside the likes of Daisy Edgar-Jones, Zoë Kravitz and longtime boho devotee Suki Waterhouse – all of whom have been leaning into a more free-spirited approach to style in recent months. After the high-energy, hyper-online party aesthetic of last year’s brat summer, the arrival of Chloé girl spring feels like a breath of fresh air. So dig out those flares, drop the kohl and let your inner Stevie Nicks take the wheel.
The season of soft romance is upon us..
