Hailee Steinfeld Channels Her Favorite '90s Supermodels 'and' Officiates a Wedding in Nexxus Campaign (Exclusive)
"I love a '90s supermodel hair reference, always," Steinfeld tells PEOPLE on set of the campaign in Los Angeles in late January. "I think there's something just so effortlessly cool in the volume and texture."
As to her favorites of the '90s supermodels, the actress, 28, says: "Naomi [Campbell], Cindy [Crawford], Linda [Evangelista]...all of them."
In the campaign, Steinfeld — rocking a voluminous blowout fit for the '90s shoot— encourages people to "Get Hy" in all types of settings with Nexxus' Hy-Volume collection. "Get super 'hy' for your wedding," Steinfeld — who got engaged to Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen in November — cheekily states as she officiates a couple's nuptials.
"I love the play on words," she says. "We're having a lot of fun with it."
The Hy-Volume Collection introduces a shampoo, conditioner and a volumizing foam. The assortment is formulated with the brand's first-ever Hyaluronic Tubing Technology to strengthen and plump strands. Of course, the products defend against humidity, too, to boost your hair for hours.
"One of the best parts of the job is getting dressed up and dolled up and glammed up for these events," Steinfeld says. "I've paid so much more attention and worked harder to find ways to take care of my skin and take care of my hair through all of this, because it's a lot. One event to the next, one shoot to the next. So I'm always so grateful to discover products that have ingredients like the Hy-Volume Collection. It gives your hair this feeling that you're using things that are helping you."
Though Steinfeld has long hair in the campaign, she's been rocking a shorter cut since summer.
"I love having been able to experiment with lengths," she says. "Before I cut my hair short, I had this constant inner monologue of what can I do with my hair that feels like a change, but isn't cutting it off and isn't coloring it or doing anything that's going to cause damage? It was such a refreshing change — I think the biggest sort of physical change I've ever gone through."

Steinfeld initially cut her hair for her role in the upcoming film Sinners, a supernatural horror set in the 1930s.
"It was kind of amazing because I cut my hair and then was on a plane the next day and then on set," she says. "I was in this beautiful period hairstyle that I really loved and it helped me embody a character in a way that I hadn't before. The physicality of a character can inform a lot. The wardrobe, the hair, the makeup — it's so important."
Steinfeld says she "had the time of my life" getting to play a vampire in the film, which also stars Michael B Jordan.
"It was equally as challenging as it was fun," she says. "What a learning curve to take on this supernatural element to this character, but making it feel very human and very real. I think there's something about vampires that people love and are really drawn to. It's just the most incredible original story. But yeah, so interesting to spend your days covered in blood and fangs."

Sinners, which premieres April 18, marks Steinfeld's first major live-action role since 2018's Bumblebee.
"There's always the butterflies but so much excitement," she says. "I couldn't think of a better project to come back to the big screen with. Also, this was my first film back from the strike. And we were all so hungry to get back to work. I just love being in this creative world with so many people that are just so passionate and so creative, and willing to do whatever it takes to create the most beautiful final product."
Another outlet for her creativity has been her weekly newsletter Beau Society.
"Beau Society is this big umbrella for all these other ideas, and I like to consider myself very ambitious," she says. "I think maybe this will be this sort of bridge into all these other things that fall under the umbrella, which I plan to venture into at some point. But I'm so enjoying using it as a space to connect with people on a deeper level. I always felt like I had that with music, and there's nothing like a direct and personal connection to people that are going through the same things. I feel like my whole week will revolve around Friday's issue. So it's been a really fulfilling creative process for me."

With so much newness on the horizon, can we expect the bob to stay?
"I think I'm going to see how long we can get," she says. "We'll see if I can fight the urge to cut it."

Kylie Jenner Timothee Chalamet Breakup Rumors Explained
What is going on with Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet's relationship? Perhaps this is a question you've found yourself asking in general across the last year or so — but now there's an actual reason to ask it. So, it's possible you've witnessed a bit of breakup speculation about this formerly elusive and always-a-little-evasive couple. This is primarily because Timothée recently skipped out on Kylie's birthday party — which, as relationship veterans and newbies alike well know, can sometimes mean that bad vibes are afoot. So what's the haps? Well, People notes that Kylie recently — and very subtly — supported Timothée in public by "liking" his IG post that shared the trailer for his hotly anticipated new film Marty Supreme. So there is that. A source also tells the publication that Timothée's absence can be chalked up to little more than busy schedules for two of the most famous people on the planet. 'They haven't seen each other for a few weeks only because Timothée's been filming Dune in a studio in Budapest, and Kylie's been working too,' the source claims. 'She visited him in July." "But even though Kylie has a private jet, the flight is still 12 hours," the source also claimed. "She's a mom and she works as well. She has a lot of responsibilities in LA. Timothée's schedule is grueling, with very little downtime.' So there you have it. We've reached out to Timothée and Kylie's reps for further comment, and we'll let you know if we hear anything back.

Tristan Rogers,' General Hospital' Star, Dies at 79
The Australian actor began playing Robert Scorpio on the daytime soap opera in 1980 Tristan Rogers has died at the age of 79. The Australian actor was best known for playing Robert Scorpio on General Hospital. He first joined the soap opera in 1980. His longtime manager, Meryl Soodak, confirmed his death to ABC 7 Eyewitness News on Friday, Aug. 15. It was revealed in July that Rogers has been diagnosed with cancer. Soodak told the outlet that Rogers' General Hospital role "meant everything to him." 'He loved being Scorpio and he created that role from nothing,' Soodak continued. 'He was supposed to work a day and he ended up making it into something huge. He was just a genuinely loyal, kind human being and he loved his family." PEOPLE has reached out to Rogers' manager and the General Hospital team for comment. Rogers was born in Melbourne in 1946. He left school in 1964 and eventually started a rock band with his friends. At 21, he turned to modeling and commercials to make money. Then he decided to become an actor — with no experience. 'As far as I was concerned, it was a way to make a bit of money. That's all,' he told in 2022. Many of his earliest roles came on Australian television. He appeared on the Aussie soaps Bellbird, Number 96 in 1974 and The Box in 1975. He also appeared in a few British films, including 1972's Four Dimensions of Greta. Rogers moved to the United States in 1980 and shortly after was cast as Robert Scorpio on General Hospital. Robert was a spy for the fictional World Security Bureau and later served as the police commissioner and district attorney of Port Charles. The character was good friends with Luke Spencer (played by Anthony Geary) and, in 1981, was part of Luke's wedding to Laura (Genie Francis) as Luke's best man. The wedding brought in 30 million viewers and remains the highest-rated soap opera episode in U.S. TV history. 'I didn't know at the time the importance of General Hospital; it was just one more job for me,' he told Soap Opera Digest in 2020 about his casting. 'But it was really exciting, to be fresh off the boat and walk into this role. Of course, after that, everywhere I went, people would go, 'You're on General Hospital? That's the hottest thing in the country! You're working with Luke and Laura? Oh, my God!'. . . . I got caught up in the General Hospital tidal wave and just got swept away by it.' Robert eventually became a fan-favorite character and was one of the show's leading men. He was killed off in 1992 and Rogers departed the series. But — as often happens on soaps — Robert returned, alive, in 2006, when the show brought back many popular characters from the '80s. "I think this character will follow me to my grave," he told The New York Times at the time. Rogers continued to make sporadic appearances on General Hospital throughout the next decade, and since 2019 had appeared as a recurring character. 'I've seen this show at its best and at something less than that,' he told PEOPLE in 2023 for the show's 60th anniversary. In 2008, Rogers took the character to the General Hospital spin-off General Hospital: Night Shift, where Robert learned he had colon cancer and reconnected with his family. 'This [storyline] was about the deconstruction of an iconic character done in a way it hadn't been done before,' he told Entertainment Weekly at the time. 'Characters like mine don't get colon cancer. They get shot, they get beaten up, they get hit by trains. They don't get colon cancer. It's not very glamorous. I thought it was a hell of a challenge, more than the usual fare that you're given going into this: Go through the investigation, find the bad guys, have a gunfight, get a schmooze….This was a whole different animal.' He added, 'So I thought, maybe along the way, if somebody watches this and sees what we're doing, they might go out and get tested. And if we inspired that, then it's a bonus.' Reflecting on the dominance of soap operas — and their decline — he said in an interview for the 2011 book The Survival of Soap Opera, 'This is not a genre that will be around in another 50 years… in many respects, it isn't necessary. They have made their mark, and almost every type of medium owes something to the way the soaps have been put together, whether they want to admit it or not.' Rogers' other roles included an arc on The Young and the Restless from 2010 to 2011, as well as the TV series Fast Track and Babylon 5. He also did voice over work, most notably in the 1990 Disney film The Rescuers Down Under, and won a Daytime Emmy for his performance in the 2019–2020 Prime Video series Studio City. Rogers married Barbra Meale in 1974, and they divorced in 1984. He briefly dated his General Hospital costar (and on-screen love interest) Emma Samms, but they split in 1985 when she left the show. He married Teresa Parkerson in 1995. They share two children, Sara and Cale. Rogers is survived by his wife and children. Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword
