Mette first gained major attention as the star of N.E.R.D.'s viral music video "Lemon," during which Rihanna shaved her head in a motel room. Though she had a month to prepare herself for the scene, she found that when the time came, she was ready to say goodbye to her curls. "There were many different times where I thought about it because I basically had the same haircut from age 15 to 26," she explained to The Cut. "There were times where I wanted to switch up my look, but I think things just happen for the right reason at the right time, you know?"
