She then revealed that White Lotus creator Mike White is the reason why she went blonde and praised celeb hair colorist Tracey Cunningham for her achieve the look.
“When I first booked the gig, Mike White asked me if I would go blonde. Uh…YES! I’d shave my head for that man! Mike wanted the ladies to be ‘a big blonde blob,’” Michelle explained. “He wanted us to convey the look of sameness – an interchangeable trio of sorts prior to discovering the nuances of each character as the season progresses. Going blonde was wonderful creative inspiration for me but I’d need an epic colorist to make those locks a reality. Enter the queen @traceycunningham1 (thanks for the intro @mslesliebibb 😙)”
She added, “I easily deferred to Tracey’s expertise. She and her incredible assistants meticulously perfected the color over the course of a few eight hour sessions. Moreover, Tracey maintained the color and the roots the entire six months we were in Thailand, making multiple trips to keep that mane oh so Jaclyn (and oh so healthy – thank you @olaplex). I’m so thankful to her, and her team, because let’s be honest, blondes absolutely do have more fun.”
New episodes of The White Lotus air on Sunday nights at 9pm ET on HBO and are available for streaming on MAX.
