Aside from the queen of Cruel Intentions, Sarah Michelle Gellar, who plays the schoolmistress, every cast member was younger than Ballard—and deep in the Y2K revival that has overtaken style codes in 2022. “They were all coming in asking for looks that were things that I did to my own hair in the ’90s,” Ballard says. Mendes, in particular, had her own onscreen visions. “For Drea, I came in with the original ’90s icons in my mind—Gwen Stefani, Drew Barrymore, Julia Stiles, Cameron Diaz, Alicia Silverstone,” says Ballard, who notes that Mendes is a style icon in her own life today, and brought in references that are influencing her style at the moment, like Dua Lipa, Ariana Grande, and Bella Hadid. For Drea’s character arc, soft styles like pigtails and tendrils slowly become more “snatched” as her nerves wind tighter throughout the plot. “It’s not a word that I used a lot until this film, but it’s basically just not a hair out of place,” says Ballard, who used Reverie Milk Anti-Frizz Leave-In Nourishing Treatment for sleek buns and polished texture to mirror the energy. “If you picture a really slick, high 40-inch pony, that’s the epitome of the ‘snatched’ look.”
