'Off Campus' star Belmont Cameli reveals connection to 'Heated Rivalry' breakout Hudson Williams

Off Campus star Belmont Cameli has revealed he shares an unexpected connection with fellow rising actor Hudson Williams, with the pair relying on the same celebrity groomer behind some of their most talked-about public appearances.

Speaking on the Therapuss podcast, Cameli explained that both he and the Heated Rivalry breakout have worked with celebrity groomer Aika Flores, whose styling has helped shape some of their recent viral moments.

Cameli praised Flores' work, recalling how she prepared him for his appearance at 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, crediting Flores for helping him feel confident during the appearance that unexpectedly went viral.

Flores has 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.

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.

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.
