She's normally the height of fashion, but this week Haylie Duff's hairstyle was the only thing reaching dizzy levels. The actress gamely sported a huge bouffant wig as she made her Broadway debut in the hit musical comedy Hairspray, as little sister Hilary looked on.

The 21-year-old, who has been acting since the age of 12, won the part of Amber Von Tussle in the popular show, set in the 1960s. Half of the hugely successful Hilary and Haylie sister act, she was back to her beautiful groomed self after the show when she was joined backstage by her proud Lizzy McGuire sibling.

While not as well known as Hilary, Haylie has notched up a fair number of TV and film credits including Napoleon Dynamite as well as writing two tracks for her sister's first solo album. Next up, the Texas-born duo are set to star in summer flick Material Girls as two rich heiresses being investigated about their wealth. And Haylie has recorded a new version of Madonna's Material Girl especially for the film's soundtrack.
