Sydney Sweeney Channels Sculptural Glamour at the 2025 Met Gala - Styled with the FHI Heat Unbrush®

At this year’s Met Gala, Sydney’s hairstyle turned heads for all the right reasons. With swept-up elegance and face-framing kiss curls, her look was a nod to both glamour icons like Diahann Carroll and timeless Hollywood starlets such as Kim Novak with a modern twist.

The sleek finish and clean silhouette aligned perfectly with the event’s theme of tailoring and refinement, proving that retro beauty, when reimagined with respect and artistry, feels just as fresh today.

The Stylist’s Secret: The FHI Heat UNbrush®

Behind Sydney’s transformation was celebrity hairstylist Glen “Coco” Oropeza, who relied on one of his go-to foundation tools: the FHI Heat UNbrush®.

Known for its gentle detangling and smoothing abilities, the UNbrush® made it easy to prep Sydney’s hair for the structured style ahead.

“I created a twist on a finger wave, bringing it into this decade with a modern ‘finger swirl’. To create a seamless, gathered bun, I started by using one of my favorite brushes, the UNbrush from FHI Heat, to detangle the hair before styling,” – Glen “Coco” Oropeza.

Why the UNbrush® Stands Out

The FHI Heat UNbrush® isn’t just another detangling brush , it’s a stylist’s secret weapon. With dual-layered bristles and an open-vent design, it delivers salon-level performance that works for both everyday users and professional stylists.

Here’s what makes it essential:

• Glossy, frizz-free texture for sleek sculpting.

• Even tension distribution to maintain softness and avoid breakage.

• Lightweight design that reduces drying time by up to 43%.

• Durability under pressure - holding style and shape all night, no matter the conditions.

Where Innovation Meets Artistry

At FHI Heat, we believe the right tool is just as important as the vision behind the style. The UNbrush® empowers artists like Glen “Coco” Oropeza to create iconic, red-carpet moments, while giving everyday users the same salon-quality foundation at home.

Recreate Sydney’s Red Carpet Look

You don’t need a Met Gala invite to glow with red-carpet confidence. With the FHI Heat UNbrush®, every great hairstyle starts with the right foundation.
