SPIKES, chains and platform boots are key elements of Nex’s original look. The 23-year-old of Bedford, UK describes her style as a combination: ‘A bit goth, in the alternative box’. Nex stays true to her style through wearing one shade. She told Truly: “I wear black every day. If one of my outfits doesn't have black, it’s not me, I shouldn't wear it.” Today, Nex is taking it one step further completely out of her comfort zone and will undergo a transformation into a boho-inspired look. What will she make of an outfit that’s not black - and how will she feel about having eyebrows for the first time in years? Nex said: “I've tried out emo, scene and gothic looks, but today is going to be a completely different style.”

00:01Today I'm transforming from goth to a soft, glam look.
00:04Yeah, I pretty much wear black every day.
00:06I'd say I definitely avoid light colored clothing or brown.
00:11I mean, they're going to be so bad.
00:15It's going to be super weird to see myself not in a lot of black.
00:19I'm intrigued to see what I would look like with none of this,
00:25but also kind of scared.
00:27Oh .
00:29I want to know what you've done to my girlfriend.
00:34It's just a lot of black and stripes.
00:37I think this is probably my favorite harness.
00:40It's got a lot of chains on and an inverted pentagram.
00:45I've dressed this way, honestly, probably since I was a kid,
00:49just not to the extreme.
00:51I would describe my style definitely a bit goth in the old town.
00:57It's kind of box.
00:59I got my first piercings, which were my snake bites.
01:02I still have now when I was 14.
01:04These are the snake bites.
01:06I definitely avoid light colored clothing or brown.
01:12Shoes that are pointed or just really flat shoes.
01:17Yeah, I pretty much wear black every day.
01:20I really enjoy wearing anything with spikes or chains.
01:25I think they look really cool and they just feel right.
01:29Very noisy, but it works.
01:33Today I'm stripping back the bold and black and going bohemian.
01:37I'm transforming from a goth to a soft glam look.
01:41I think I'm definitely most scared about the shoes.
01:50Lovely light brown color.
01:52I'm doing this transformation today because I'm intrigued to see what I would look like with none of this,
02:00but also kind of scared.
02:02I definitely have some concerns.
02:04I feel like I would just look weird and absolutely terrible.
02:08I've been shaving off my eyebrows for years now.
02:18I can't remember when I actually last had proper eyebrows.
02:23For today's makeover, I'm using a really beautiful gold, bronze, really dewy makeup palette.
02:28So she'll have really fresh lips, a lovely iridescent eye and glowing bronze skin.
02:33So she looks really sun-kissed and healthy.
02:38I don't know if I'll be able to get this one out.
02:50I feel pretty scared and kind of already naked.
03:02What do you think?
03:03I'm not a fan of it.
03:05I don't know who that is and I hate it a little bit.
03:15The eyebrows.
03:16I'm not used to having like regular looking eyebrows.
03:19It's just so much on my face.
03:22I hate that.
03:23That's not fun.
03:25I feel so weird.
03:26I love the finished look.
03:28I know it's been a massive shock for next but I just think it's really light, really pretty.
03:33She has the most incredible eyes.
03:35Why would you not want to show them off?
03:36I will be revealing my transformation to my sister Nat and my partner Craig.
03:42I'm really like, I'm quite scared about how Craig and Nat are going to react.
03:46I would describe her look as just dark and unique and nice.
03:53I can't even imagine what it's going to look like actually.
03:56I guess I'm just so used to her, you know, being out there that it's just, it's perfect.
04:00You know, I don't want it to change.
04:01I want to know what you've done to my girlfriend.
04:03Oh my God.
04:04Oh my life.
04:05Oh damn.
04:06You're adorable.
04:07Yeah.
04:08I think you look cute.
04:09I don't know, you know, actually.
04:10I think that's what I'm getting used to.
04:11Yeah, I'm so used to seeing you in black.
04:28I think this experience has definitely made me appreciate my regular look a lot more.
04:36That's definitely me.
04:37It's me.
04:38I shouldn't change.
