Belmont Cameli and Hudson Williams Share Same Celebrity Groomer

Belmont Cameli, star of Prime Video's Off Campus, has disclosed that he and fellow rising actor Hudson Williams share the same celebrity groomer, Aika Flores. Cameli made the revelation during an appearance on the Therapuss podcast, explaining that Flores has been instrumental in shaping both actors' public personas.

Viral Concert Appearance

Cameli credited Flores for preparing him for a Kid LAROI concert, where videos of him dancing to the singer's hit Girls quickly spread across social media. "She's amazing," Cameli said, noting that Flores helped him feel confident during the appearance, which unexpectedly went viral. The moment became one of Cameli's most talked-about public outings.

Met Gala Debut and Backlash

Flores also worked closely with Hudson Williams, creating the actor's memorable beauty look for his debut at the 2026 Met Gala. Williams arrived wearing a striking Balenciaga outfit paired with dramatic two-toned eye makeup inspired by Darren Aronofsky's psychological thriller Black Swan. The bold styling quickly divided opinion online, generating both praise and criticism across social media platforms.

Following the backlash, Flores addressed the criticism on Threads, writing that creative risks inevitably invite mixed reactions but remain an essential part of artistic expression. She encouraged kindness towards artists and reminded followers that real people dedicate countless hours to creating these looks. Flores also appeared in a behind-the-scenes Vogue video explaining the concept behind Williams' Met Gala appearance. She described the look as representing a transformation "from innocence to power," using makeup and hairstyling to mirror the symbolic evolution of a swan.

Shared Creative Teams in Hollywood

Cameli's revelation highlights how Hollywood's emerging stars often share the same creative teams behind the scenes, even when they headline different projects. While Off Campus and Heated Rivalry cater to different audiences, both series have helped launch a new generation of actors into the spotlight. Based on Elle Kennedy's bestselling novels, Off Campus has become one of Prime Video's breakout young adult hits, with Cameli starring as Garrett Graham. Meanwhile, Hudson Williams has emerged as one of television's fastest-rising stars thanks to his leading role in Heated Rivalry, earning widespread attention for both his on-screen performance and high-profile fashion appearances.
