Michelle Yeoh underwent a significant hair transformation, debuting a blonde bob and wearing a glamorous Balenciaga gown at the “Wicked” premiere. During Saturday night’s red carpet event in Los Angeles, Yeoh looked almost unrecognizable in her new hair and embellished black gown. She also accessorized the floor-length outfit and bold hair with a heavy diamond choker and a huge diamond ring. All in all, the actor oozed Old Hollywood glam while channeling bits of her on-screen character, Madame Morrible.
Michelle Yeoh’s hair transformation is as dramatic as her Balenciaga gown
At the “Wicked” L.A. premiere, Michelle Yeoh posed a closely resembling look to that of Dean Madame Morrible. Yeoh sported a heavily decorated Balenciaga gown from the luxury fashion house’s FW24 collection. However, it was her hair transformation that stole the spotlight completely. The Oscar winner seemingly stepped away from her natural dark hair toward a blonde look.
In one of the most striking hair transformations, Yeoh’s blonde bob look for the “Wicked” premiere is one for the books. Her voluminous bob had a side-parting with the sharp waves not extending beyond her neck. Moreover, the Malaysian actor looked glamorous in the eye-catching Balenciaga ensemble that appeared witchy and pronounced simultaneously. The 62-year-old accessorized the getup with a diamond choker and a matching ring, delivering bold poses on the red (black considering the film’s theme) carpet.
As per E! News, on the “Wicked” premiere’s red carpet, Michelle Yeoh told Zuri Hall and Justin Sylvester that she has yet to watch the movie. “As you know, I haven’t even seen the film yet, so I am beyond excited,” remarked Yeoh. In addition, she thanked other attendees for “showing up” for yet another big moment in her life. The upcoming fantasy film is Yeoh’s first musical, which initially caused nervousness for her until she learned to enjoy the process.
