Halsey spun the color wheel to switch her hair color once again for the special screening of the thriller film “Americana,” in which she stars, on Sunday, this time landing on an anime-inspired blue-green hue to paint a fresh, ultra-short pixie cut and micro bangs. The 30-year-old singer debuted the new ‘do alongside a slew of her other costars on the red carpet in Los Angeles, including Sydney Sweeney and Simon Rex.

The vibrant shade of blue bore a strong resemblance to the neon highlight that dresses the head of Riot Games’ League of Legends character Jinx; however, Halsey, born Ashley Nicolette Frangipane, took inspiration from Botan in the anime show, “Yu Yu Hakusho,” sharing a picture of the character in her Instagram post on July 23. At the time, the “Without Me” singer had a bob.
For the Sunday premiere, she had the trendy style chopped much shorter in a hybrid pixie and mullet cut, tucking her long pieces behind her ears and leaving the short side fringe in front.
This isn’t the first time Halsey’s donned this exact playful shade on her head. In fact, her fans were excited to see her reprise her blue-haired persona dubbed “Blusey,” belonging to her ubiquitous early 2000s beauty nostalgia that’s been dictating trends online recently. She last colored her hair blue in 2015, but briefly reverted to it in 2017 with a long, curly wig.
Her full aesthetic epitomized a burgeoning early 2000s nostalgia, which has seen other trends such as calico hair make a comeback.

For her makeup, Halsey ignored the hue on her head to instead play with faded browns and misty mauves on her eyes. Her lips, on the other hand, were dressed in a dark burgundy lip liner on the edge and a lighter shade in the middle. The almond-shaped French tip extensions on her nails were colored with that same burgundy, too.
From head to toe, Halsey breathed life into the Y2K fashion trends that first started resurfacing post-pandemic. She dressed in pointed-toe, cream heels, embroidered skinny jeans and a high-neck top with ribbon-tied corset detailing on the sides. Next to her, Sydney Sweeney revived an accessory popularized in the ’80s: wide fabric headbands. Uniquely, the “Euphoria” star teamed the soft headpiece with a ballerina ballgown, embellished with a tulle skirt and a satin bodice.
