On November 10, Michelle Yeoh attended the Los Angeles premiere of ‘Wicked’ and to be completely honest, I almost didn’t recognize her. The star, who plays Madame Morrible in the film, appeared on the red carpet in a completely new look – a blond syrup bob. Bob haircuts are still having a moment, but Yeoh is the latest celebrity to embrace the new blonde hair color trend after Kendall Jenner also had the look last month.

For the premiere, Yeoh wore a Balenciaga dress, which paired beautifully with her voluminous wavy cut. Yeoh’s hair was styled by celebrity hairstylist Renato Campora using all Wella products. “We decided on this more over-the-top look because of the fact that Wicked is,” Campora told PS in a press release. “We kept it short, modern and voluminous.” Keep scrolling for a full description of her look.

Renato Campora is a celebrity hairstylist known for working with stars such as Angelina Jolie, Selena Gomez and Michelle Yeoh.

To achieve the style, Campora started by washing Yeoh’s hair with Wella Professionals Ultimate Repair Shampoo ($35) and Wella Ultimate Repair Conditioner ($35). From there, Campora prepared her hair using Wella Professionals Ultimate Repair Miracle Hair Rescue ($21, originally $35) on Yeoh’s mid-length to ends, which she recommends for anyone with color-treated hair. Then, to protect from heat and eliminate frizz, Campora used a walnut-sized amount Wella Professionals Eimi Flowing Form Anti Frizz Hair Conditioner ($12, originally $21).

Once the hair was prepped, Campora used a small round brush to dry small sections of hair in an upward motion, which she curled to add volume. Once Yeoh’s entire head was pinned, she brushed each curl and added a finishing spray before parting her hair to the side, which Compora says enhances the cheekbones and elongates the neck. We don’t know what inspired this major change for Yeoh, but we wouldn’t be surprised if it had something to do with her platinum blonde co-star Ariana Grande, who she dyed her hair for the role of Glinda in 2022.
