Michelle Yeoh debuts a glamorous blonde bob at the Wicked premiere in LA, surprising fans and cast mates alike.
It’s nothing new for Michelle Yeoh to upstage everyone, but her recent hair makeover took her red carpet look to a different level. For the Los Angeles premiere of the highly anticipated Wicked movie, where Yeoh is starring as Madame Morrible, she caused a stir due to a dramatic new blonde bob, channeling old Hollywood glamour with a new, bold twist.
Known for her usual slick, brunette tresses, Yeoh changed things up with a voluminous, blonde chin-length bob that sent her fans-and even her Wicked co-stars-speechless. In a viral X video, her fellow castmates – which included Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, and Jonathan Bailey – were visibly floored by her transformation, with Grande exclaiming “Blonde!” and Bailey cheering her on. Suffice to say: Yeoh’s new look was on everyone’s lips.
Yeoh was in tandem with hairstylist Renato Campora in creating a bouncy, retro-inspired ensemble apt for the campy essence of Wicked. First, the look had fluffy, S-shaped waves that cuddled the face, really bringing out the cheekbones with that almost-nineties chic framing-of-the-face effect.
Campora then gave her a deep side part to make this bob classic and edgy at the same time-lovely and confident. To create this voluminous look, Campora started with Wella Professionals EIMI Body Crafter Flexible Volumizing Spray for some root lift; he then went ahead and did the blow-drying of each section and proceeded with the pin curling. After setting, the curls were brushed out for that luxurious old-money vibe and finished off with Wella EIMI Stay Firm Hair Finishing Spray and EIMI Glam Mist to keep everything in place.
The actual blonde shade was a stunningly intricate combination of buttery tones at the ends with ashy roots added for depth and dimension. The softly contrasting notes of warm and cool set off Yeoh’s radiant complexion beautifully. Paired with a sparkly Balenciaga gown, fluttery lashes, and a light pink lip, Yeoh’s blonde bob was the ultimate statement piece.
We created a similar glamorous bob for Michelle Yeoh in our AI hairstyle generator. Our take on it is a shoulder-grazing cut with soft, voluminous curls framing her face gorgeously. Waves add visual volume to hair, courtesy of the side part. Caramel balayage with subtle, deeper roots give this bob a natural, lived-in look and bring out the beauty in her complexion. The finishing touch is the styling itself because the curls are polished yet not overdone.
It is now official: Michelle Yeoh’s blonde bob is all the winter hair inspiration one needs. Thinking of trying something new this season? Whether you’re ready to take the plunge with a glamorous bob or simply add some depth with warm, buttery tones, there’s no better time than the start of winter to do it. Take a cue from Michelle and add that little Old Hollywood drama to your look – that just might bring in that added ounce of glam for those holiday parties around the corner!
