Whether you're a Euphoria obsessive (like us), a White Lotus watcher or simply just a Sydney Sweeney fan girl, there's no denying that the 26-year-old actor is swiftly becoming a style icon for a new generation. Bedazzled Miu Miu mini skirts, Tory Burch Met Gala gowns and elbow length prom gloves aside, it's Sweeney's chameleon-esque ability to work every hairstyle that we're taking note of.

From ribbon updos and romantic waves, to Sixties beehives and French girl fringes, we're yet to come across a hairstyle Sydney Sweeney can't rock.

Read on for every one of Sydney Sweeney's best hairstyles...
