00:00 I would say my look is Japanese visual kei with goth and punk and anime and video game
00:04 aesthetics all rolled into one.
00:06 So I want to take that super edgy, progressive look and then I want to turn it into a party.
00:10 Today I'm transforming from punk goth singer into a preppy boy.
00:14 I'm so stuck.
00:16 I don't think anyone's going to see this coming.
00:19 Hello?
00:20 Oh my god!
00:21 I haven't seen your face like that for years.
00:26 You look like your parents are proud of you.
00:35 So this is my pride and joy of this jacket.
00:37 I made this myself.
00:38 It took me a very long time.
00:39 It's been in a few music videos of mine.
00:40 I got this from Harajuku in Japan when I went there.
00:43 These jeans.
00:44 I sewed all these patches myself, ripped it up.
00:47 I got into this style a few years ago.
00:49 I described my look in one word as like anime edgelord.
00:52 In my look I combine stuff like anime and video games with stuff like punk and goth
00:57 to sort of mesh it all together into some sort of fusion look.
01:01 I think I'm a very passionate person about fighting for what you believe in so I think
01:05 that sort of the punk side of it is really important to me.
01:07 Look at me.
01:08 I look like an absolute maniac and I know I do and that's the point.
01:11 I'm just here to have fun.
01:12 I want to take that super edgy, aggressive look and then I want to turn it into a party.
01:19 I've been dressed in and living like a punk goth for like four or five years and then
01:23 before that other styles.
01:26 I think what makes my look really unique is I have, it's not just goth, it's also Japanese
01:32 and inspired and anime inspired.
01:35 My haircut is like the typical anime haircut.
01:38 If you look at any anime you'll find a character with this haircut, trust me.
01:41 I'd say my music absolutely does relate to the way I dress.
01:44 My bandmates, they don't dress similar to me at all but that's the vibe, right?
01:47 It doesn't matter who you are.
01:48 You can dress normally, you can dress like a massive edgelord like me or you can dress
01:52 like an 80s glam dude and you can also be a part of it and that's kind of the vibe of
01:55 the band.
01:56 A lot of people have big reactions whether positive or negative so it's just always big.
02:02 Today I'm being transformed into a preppy boy.
02:05 I think of like the boating shoes and the chinos.
02:08 I don't think I've ever worn chinos in my entire life.
02:11 They roll up the chinos and they never wear socks.
02:13 Showing the ankle, right?
02:14 That's just so anti-me.
02:15 I grew up in a really posh area.
02:19 We've always lived around these really kind of rich, old, posh people.
02:24 I went to a really nice school.
02:26 I mean I could do a Boris Johnson impression but I'm not going to do that right now.
02:30 Oh could you though?
02:31 Blue skies, lovely, you know, London, wonderful, wonderful place.
02:35 I thought it would be a weird parallel universe version of Seb where I decided to instead
02:40 be very smart and go down a different path in life.
02:44 I'm going to be revealing the look to my bandmate Kaz, my mum and also my partner Amelia.
02:49 My mum hasn't seen me in anything other than my punk goth look for like a decade at this
02:53 point.
02:54 I think she still to this day hates the contacts.
02:57 I think my partner will be the most horrified because they really like me as I am and I
03:02 think they really despise preppy boys.
03:05 Yo what's up my dudes?
03:07 What's up man?
03:08 Hey Seb.
03:09 The weirdest thing is going to be the eyebrows.
03:10 Like I don't think I've ever seen you with eyebrows.
03:13 I just can't imagine you as anything else but this.
03:17 So I'm going preppy boy, ultimate universe Seb.
03:21 I like it.
03:22 You're going to go back to your roots.
03:24 Well, you know, let's not go that far.
03:27 All right, I think I need you guys to go now because the makeup artist is here.
03:30 I've got to go see him and get this transformation on the go.
03:33 Oh hey.
03:34 Hey.
03:35 The look that we're going to go for is beautiful glowing skin, really flawless and just to
03:42 enhance all his natural features.
03:44 Yeah, the frees take off.
03:47 Your actual eyes.
03:50 There we go.
03:53 Being like this doesn't mean you just have to, you know, be super depressed and have
03:59 like a problem because, oh, I dress like this because I'm really sad.
04:04 We should be able to just be cool and happy and have a good time and also dress like a
04:07 maniac just for fun because that's the vibe, right?
04:10 This is so stuck.
04:13 Oh, we got it lads.
04:16 There we go.
04:18 One more.
04:19 The makeup is going really well.
04:23 Seb has amazing skin in and underneath his beautiful makeup.
04:27 So that makes my life a lot easier.
04:29 How different does the makeup feel?
04:31 Spend a grand total of 10 seconds doing a single line and currently we've spent more
04:35 time on the eyebrows than anything else.
04:37 So this is the absolute reverse of my normal makeup.
04:41 Do you know how you're going to look?
04:59 I have absolutely no idea.
05:01 I don't know if I'm ever going to be ready for this one.
05:04 Oh my days.
05:07 The hair.
05:08 Oh my God, the bow tie.
05:10 It's so dumb.
05:16 I kind of look like my grandfather.
05:19 Don't tell him that.
05:21 It's like a rug.
05:24 How do you feel about your ankles?
05:25 I do not feel good about the ankles.
05:27 The ankles, this is not it.
05:29 This is absolutely, this is, this is, this is a falling day.
05:33 To be honest.
05:35 It's worse the more I look at it.
05:37 I'm not going to lie.
05:38 It was okay for a minute and now I'm like, okay, this is, it's a step too far.
05:42 It's been too long.
05:43 We need to go back.
05:45 I'm actually terrified to see Seb because I feel like it's just going to be a haunting
05:51 experience and just a very different person.
05:53 I'm excited.
05:54 I've never seen him as anything else.
05:57 I literally can't even imagine it.
06:02 Oh my God.
06:04 Wow.
06:06 Oh my God.
06:08 Oh my God.
06:09 I hate you so much.
06:12 Oh my God.
06:13 I haven't seen your face like that for years.
06:17 I could have never imagined you like this ever.
06:21 I'm good.
06:22 Yeah.
06:23 Wipe this from your memory.
06:25 Your eyes are really visible though.
06:27 Your eyes look beautiful.
06:29 Would you walk down to the shop in that way?
06:32 No, absolutely not.
06:33 To be honest, I feel horrible.
06:34 Even if you took the jumper off?
06:35 No, no, no, no.
06:36 It's the hair mostly that's killing me.
06:38 The outfit I could live with is that, oh, ha ha, it's funny.
06:41 You look like your parents are proud of you.
06:43 I can't imagine anything worse.
06:47 This is a different Seb.
06:49 I am kind of afraid of him, I think.
06:52 What's inside that counts.
06:54 I feel like it's sort of the son I could have had, but I have a different one that I've really come to appreciate because he is so unique.
07:04 But I feel like I've just been given what could have been if he'd gone down a different pathway.
07:10 And actually, I'm starting to think I'm more comfortable with the other Seb.
07:15 You know, the Seb that is unique, the Seb that is free thinking and has his own look, which actually I love.
07:24 I thought my new look would be funny, but it turns out it's actually horrendous and horrifying and I can't look at myself.
07:31 I feel very uncomfortable.
07:32 I can tell you absolutely, with absolute sincerity, I will never look like this or wear anything like this ever again.
