- She has a voice that makes you wanna move your body.
- Her music inspires people to swing from the chandelier.
- But she hides behind an iconic wig.
- What would people think if we wore that same hair?
- It's Ladylike and today.
- We're wearing Sia's wig for a day.
♪ Sia wigs, yeah ♪
(laughing)
- (laughs) So good.
- Sia is a brilliant singer-songwriter.
She's been killing the game for years,
I think with very little recognition at first,
and I'm happy that she's getting the recognition
that she deserves.
I'm into her wigs.
I like that she's you know, mysterious.
She likes to keep it low-key.
There are photos of her face on Google.
It's not like no one has ever seen her face,
but I do like the vibe.
I like the style, I like the aesthetic.
She's written songs for Beyonce, Rihanna, she's dope.
All right, shall we get started?
Here is my wig.
- Whoa.
All right, so here's the Sia wig.
It looks kinda like a small animal on my hand.
Hi!
Oh what's that?
(barking)
I mean pretty iconic Sia wig, for sure.
Whenever I wear a wig, there's just a very weird energy
that comes over me.
(funky music)
- How do you.
- Also, I feel like this might itch a little.
I hope it doesn't itch.
Oh God.
- Is it even?
- Okay wow, how the fuck does she see in this?
- So, the hair is already sticking to my lip gloss.
(high pitched laughing)
I almost think this wig, like yes, it's covering my eyes,
but I think the shape of it is a little too sleek.
Hers is a little bit more asymmetrical and kind of like,
poofier and not as like Beyonce.
So I need to put this bow on now, huh?
- Honestly I'm not sure how this is supposed to work at all.
I don't know.
I guess.
- Oh I should have put a wig cap on.
Okay, all right, so I'm gonna go walk around.
This is actually kind of torture.
I think I might have to wipe my lip gloss off or something,
'cause this is like all up in my mouth.
- Okay straight up I can't see for this shit in this wig.
It's like just, this fucking bow.
God, there's no visibility.
- [Freddie] Hi.
(laughs)
Can you guess who I am?
- Uh, you are Sia?
- [Freddie] Yes.
- Yeah.
- [Freddie] Do I look just like her?
- I thought Sia was walking in the building.
(laughs)
You need like a little Maddie Ziegler.
- [Freddie] Yes I do, I need.
- To just like, yeah.
- [Freddie] To help guide me around
'cause I can't see anything.
(laughs)
- Can I take a selfie for my Instagram with Sia?
- [Freddie] Yes you can.
- I'm pretty sure Sia's a little taller than me,
so I'm gonna, yeah!
(camera snaps)
- [Jen] Hey Garrick.
- Hey.
- [Jen] What do ya think of my new hair?
- It's very Sia-like.
- [Jen] Yeah, it is Sia!
It's exactly Sia.
- Nice. - Thanks.
- I want you to like dance around.
- [Garrick] Yeah.
- [Jen] Yeah?
- [Allison] Oh yeah, there it is.
Truly is uncanny.
It's like she's here right now. (laughs)
- So now the hairs are not only sticking to my lipstick
and lip gloss, but it's in my eye and because the hair
is covering my mouth, it's causing a lot of condensation
and heat and steam just in this area.
So I might be sweating a little bit.
- All right, so I'm at my desk and I gotta do some work.
So in order to see, I gotta flip this up.
- [Freddie] Hey guys.
- Hey hey.
- [Freddie] I just wanted to get your opinions
on who you think I am and if I look just like her.
- You're Sia.
- [Freddie] Yes!
- And I can't see ya. (laughs)
- [Freddie] Do I look just like her?
- Yes. - Yeah.
Pretty spot on.
- Jesus! (laughing)
- [Freddie] Hi Jen.
- Hi Freddie, you look great.
Wow your bow stayed on.
Your wig is much more immaculate than mine,
but I did this, I flipped it back
because you can't see for shit, can you?
- [Freddie] No, I can't,
and the hairs are getting in my eyes.
- [Jen] Yeah, so now Freddie's gonna dance like Sia.
- Should I look up YouTube videos?
I don't really know how she dances.
(upbeat music)
- [Jen] Wait, that actually is pretty good!
Wait this is really good.
- Is it? - Wow Freddie.
- So I realized that when I try to brush my hair to the side
so I can see, I do look like a little emo kid.
- You look like a goth girl.
- Yeah.
- Yeah you were the girl in high school
that also probably really loved anime.
- I could see that.
- Yeah.
- This hair screams that.
- I loved it too, but I kept it secret.
- So, we wore these things.
Wait, this reminds me of the Addams family.
Cousin It!
- So we put these wigs on, and I didn't feel like glamorous
necessarily, partially because the wigs are not
that high quality, so they look pretty funky.
But I did enjoy the sensation of dancing.
Freddie and I both tried to dance a little bit,
just to see what it was like to dance
with this much hair in your eye.
It's fun because you're less self-conscious
'cause you can't see what you look like,
so maybe nobody else can either.
- Honestly, everyone pretty much knew who I was.
- That's true.
- But like, it was fine, I think I was just
very uncomfortable most of the day.
I mean having all of this hair just kind of like cascading
over my face, it got in my eye, it got in my mouth.
I had to take it off during lunch.
- [Jen] Yeah, I had to take it off when I was editing
because it is in your face.
- Yeah.
- And mine smelled like fish.
(laughs)
It had a really, it just I don't know why,
the wig just smells like some type of weird fish
and when I was trying to edit,
- Why do you have to say it like that? (laughs)
- Fish?
- Fish.
- It's crazy that Sia's able to dance and move in this wig,
because you really cannot see anything.
It's really hard to see.
- Yeah that's some skill.
Also, I actually felt much more private.
When celebrities go to extreme measures to be incognito,
it ends up just drawing more attention usually.
It did draw attention, but I did feel private.
- Right.
- You know what I mean?
- The other thing is, for Sia, I genuinely did not know
what her face looked like until I had been a fan of hers
for several years.
In her videos, you don't know what her face looks like,
and it's like kind of part of the appeal.
So I think it's actually really cool because Sia sort of
is like a blank canvas.
She can sort of do anything with her music
and with her image because she's never been tied down.
- Also I think the reason it works for her
is because she has a phenomenal voice,
and I keep hearing this beautiful voice,
but like what does she look like?
- Something that I think would've been funny
is if we had leaked our own nudes
because Sia got threatened on Twitter
by a paparazzi that was gonna sell her nude photos
to her fans and so she posted them.
- That's such a boss move.
- It's so boss!
- Yeah, like I'm gonna leak my own nudes so like,
what, what now?
- Yeah, you still wanna pay for it?
You're an idiot, you can get 'em for free.
Which is why,
- We're gonna leak some nudes.
- Yeah.
- Stay tuned. - Yeah.
- [Both] Next week on Ladylike, woo!
- No one was threatening it, we're just like,
get ahead of the game!
(laughs)
Leak, oops!
- Lady tested, lady.
- [Both] Sia-later.
- We'll see ourselves out, we're done. (laughs)
It's been a long day, we are going home.
- [All] We've got merch!
- Click here to buy it.
- Spoons!
- [All] Spoons, spoons, spoons, spoon, spoon, spoon.
