Michelle Yeoh is proving that blondes have more fun.
Indeed, the actress, who portrays Madame Morrible alongside Cynthia Erivo's Elphaba and Ariana Grande's Glinda in Wicked, attended the film's Los Angeles premiere Nov. 9 sporting a brand new blonde bob.
The Oscar winner paired her new tresses with a sparkly black Balenciaga gown, featuring a witchy motif in honor of her character. She completed the look with a layered, diamond snake necklace and a diamond ring. And as she gushed, it was truly a night she would remember forever.
"I am so excited to be here," Michelle told Zuri Hall and Justin Sylvester on the red carpet. "As you know, I haven't even seen the film yet, so I am beyond excited. And to see all this—thank you, everyone, for showing up.
And while this isn't the 62-year-old's first time collaborating with Jon M. Chu—the duo worked together for Crazy Rich Asians in 2018—she has expressed nervousness toward her first time in a musical role, joking she was less scared to ride a motorcycle on a moving train than sing on screen. But she got through it thanks to her incredible cast.

She added, "When magic happens there's no rhyme or reason for it. And it just did."
And Michelle isn't the only one who enjoyed her experience on the Wicked set. Ariana and Cynthia have expressed how comfortable they became with each other amid filming in London.
"I think that was one of my most cherished parts of this experience," Ariana reflected to the New York Times of growing closer to Cynthia. "I felt held and like I had a friend every step of the way. I'm really proud of us for how genuinely we took care of each other throughout this whole time."
Meanwhile, Cynthia went so far as to say that working with Ariana was life-changing.
"She taught me to handle this crazy beast that is emerging success, because I've had a measure of it but this is new," Cynthia explained. "She's really held my hand all the way through it and wants it for me just as much as I want for myself."
The Wicked cast dynamics were certainly sweet off camera, but their red carpet looks are a sight to see. Keep reading for everyone who showed out for the premiere.
