If you missed it, Sydney’s appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon went viral earlier this week, as many internet users described her fitted red dress and blonde bob as reminiscent of Republican style. Sydney in a fitted gown

“this fox news anchor realness,” one person said, while another wrote, “she looks more republican every day.”

Amid the criticism, media personality and self-described “fashion critic” Blakely Thornton commented on Sydney’s look. “I don’t want to keep talking about this white girl, but I’m very aware that at this point, her and her team of what I assume are white, Republican, self-hating gays are committed to the bit,” he quipped.

“They’re doing this shit on purpose. Why else would you go on a late-night talk show looking like Effie Trinket’s lost niece? The stiffest wig this side of the Mississippi unless you want to get read for filth,” he said.

Before long, Sydney’s hairstylist Glen “Coco” Oropeza hopped into the comments section to defend the viral look. Glen Oropeza and Sydney Sweeney at an event

“Wasn’t a wig but you can’t get my girl’s name out of your mouth,” Glen allegedly commented, according to screenshots posted by Blakely. “You’re obsessed.” Sydney on 'The Tonight Show'

“Stiff where? You’re doing a lot … Take a breath, diva. You can keep trying to spin a narrative, but we all know you just need click bait cuz your content is TIRED. If you need attention, just say that. Imagine caring this much about a hairstyle you didn’t create and a woman who doesn’t know you exist. Goodnight,” Glen purportedly added. Glen and Sydney

Blakely shared an Instagram post featuring screenshots of the exchange and wrote, “Watching Sydney’s hairstylist crash out in the comments.” Glen quickly commented under this post, “‘Crash out’ is wild,” alongside a laughing emoji.
