“Olivia and I had talked about this [hair change] since November, when she was in LA doing press for The Crown,” the hairstylist behind the look, Marcus Francis, shared. British Vogue at the time.
‘Because she has a pixie cut, there was the freedom to try something new and fun; Not to mention she wears a wig for The Crown so she could do whatever she wanted with the color.”
“We initially wanted to make the big change in November, but her visit to LA wasn’t long enough to fit it in,” he explained of the dramatic transformation.
‘We tried again over BAFTA and Golden Globes weekends but still didn’t get enough time. When we were in London, we both agreed that the Oscars would be the right time.”
