The video features appearances from last year’s winners, including Zander, the second-place winner, and Callum, the third-place winner.

Miles, the winner of last October’s Timothée Chalamet Look-Alike Contest in Washington Square Park, returned to Sergio Slavnov for a fresh trim ahead of his Newsweek magazine interview promoting Avenue Man Hair Products. With his upcoming trip to Los Angeles coinciding with the Oscars, where Timothée Chalamet is a top contender for Best Actor in the upcoming Bob Dylan biopic, Miles is preparing for more media opportunities and brand collaborations.
To maintain his iconic Chalamet-inspired look, Sergio Slavnov—New York’s top hairstylist specializing in men’s long hair—opted for a trim that keeps length and movement while adding structure. For styling, Avenue Man Sea Salt Texturizing Spray was applied before blow-drying with a diffuser, enhancing his natural waves while maintaining a soft, effortless finish.
