Brandon Sklenar Looks Unrecognizable With Blond Transformation at the VMAs
The Housemaid star Brandon Sklenar had Us doing a complete double take at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards thanks to his new ‘do.
Sklenar, 36, stepped out on Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater red carpet on Sunday, September 27, looking casually cool in a black leather bomber jacket over a white T-shirt and coordinating black trousers. The actor accessorized his ensemble with a pair of dark aviator shades and Aldo snake-printed boots.
Completing his styling, Sklenar traded his signature dark locks for a platinum, cropped hair makeover.
Sklenar stepped out on Sunday alongside his The Rescue costar Hassie Harrison, who looked lovely in a black sheath dress with her own blonde tresses piled into an elegant updo.
Sklenar and Harrison, 36, play a former couple who unite to rescue their daughter after she is kidnapped in the 2027 thriller.
“Ninety percent of this film is outside in nature, and I spent most of the time working with a dog and a horse,” Sklenar told People in an interview published Wednesday, September 23, teasing his new role as an ex-rodeo cowboy. “Seeing how that affects the crew and just the overall vibe on set, it’s a different tone when you’re in nature on a horse with a dog for a majority of scenes and filming.”

He continued, “It’s a different feeling, and it can be very meditative and healing spending that much time with a dog and a horse in nature all at once.”
In preparing for the Western film, Sklenar relied on his Yellowstone universe training.
“I just kind of took to it pretty well and then competed in a cattle cutting competition with Taylor [Sheridan] and some other people from some of his shows, and I did all right at that,” the 1923 alum quipped. “I was very comfortable on a horse. Love being on a horse, love riding fast on a horse. I feel like I understand them and I have a good way with them.”
