For Rish Shah’s character, Rush, an “artsy, cool dude,” pastel hair was already something he and Ballard had experimented with on Miss Marvel before filming. To capture the right shade that contrasted the lavender in their school uniforms, Sky High by Good Dye Young offered a pale blue that felt realistic for his fade. “Right after we finished filming Do Revenge with him, he had a Vogue feature with his blue hair,” she says. For Ballard, this combination of talent and freedom of expression has been a long time coming. “I started my career working in print and fashion, so this was a big deal for me because I don’t always get to work with directors who are really knowledgeable in elevated fashion,” she says, adding that “Jenn knows her stuff.” They were able to deliver editorial looks onscreen that will, hopefully, be as influential on future generations as the nostalgic scenes that inspired them.
