The actress debuted a similar blonde style exactly one year ago, when part one of the film adaptation premiered in November 2024; Yeoh plays Madame Morrible in the movies, the second part of which hits theaters on November 21.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbs8.com\/article\/entertainment\/entertainment-tonight\/michelle-yeohs-hairstylist-renato-campora-shares-why-the-actress-likes-039playing-with-different-looks\/603-df4b9f62-f24a-4570-b710-55a1b27f9abd\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Speaking in January of this year;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Speaking in January of this year<\/a>, Campora called Yeoh his muse, saying that \u201cMichelle is so classy and fashionable inside and out that I actually look to her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cMichelle is very enthusiastic about playing with different looks, which in the moment is very inspiring to me,\u201d he added. \u201cMy creative process is very exciting.

The gown\u2019s tone shifted from bronze to smoky violet, and the fluid, structural gown is from the brand\u2019s fall 2025 collection. She paired the dress with Mikimoto jewelry and a Richard Mille watch, a piece that has become her signature.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Though at this point it\u2019s impossible to not imagine Wicked in two parts, it wasn\u2019t always envisioned that way, Yeoh told <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/michelle-yeoh-talk-of-making-wicked-1-movie-exclusive-11792924\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:People;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">People<\/a>.

Chu\u2014who previously worked with Yeoh on Crazy Rich Asians\u2014approached her about joining the cast.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI at that point had no clue what he was talking about, because I had not seen Wicked the musical before,\u201d she told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/movies\/movie-news\/michelle-yeoh-wicked-director-jon-m-chu-premiere-1236057346\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Hollywood Reporter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>. \u201cI knew Wizard of Oz\u2014who doesn\u2019t\u2014but not Wicked, because I hadn\u2019t been going to the theaters and not doing what I love, which is watching musicals, for quite a while, I hate to say.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Getty Michelle Yeoh, Ariana Grande, and Cynthia Erivo on November 13, 2025\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/5dadb0982e83d384e5416bf011c93edb.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Getty<\/p>\n<p> Michelle Yeoh, Ariana Grande, and Cynthia Erivo on November 13, 2025<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Of the prospect of singing\u2014which Yeoh said she loved doing, \u201cbut normally it\u2019s in the shower, not when there\u2019s other people around\u201d\u2014she confessed that she \u201cwas terrified, I was not just nervous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">But working with a vocal coach and the encouragement of castmates like Erivo put her at ease. \u201cMost of my singing parts are with Cynthia,\u201d Yeoh said. \u201cShe said, \u2018Just sing it out, girl.
