Michelle Yeoh reveals bold new look as she debuts cropped hair

Michelle Yeoh set tongues wagging with her latest look as she attended the Wicked: For Good New York Premiere at David Geffen Hall on Monday.

The actress, 63, normally looks impossibly stylish, however fans accused her of hitting a bum style note when she graced the red carpet this week.

Michelle, who was debuting cropped hair, stepped out wearing a dramatic neon yellow tulle dress with a stunning statement diamond necklace.

Many thought Michelle had hired a new stylist because the outfit was worlds away from her usual glamorous attire. 

They said: ‘It’s giving grandma’s toilet paper cover. Someone has to do it every red carpet! This cupcake one takes the cake!’; ‘Who picked that dress’; ‘Why is she starting to make so many questionable fashion choices?’

‘Who is a new stylist?’; ‘Stop with his ridiculous tour’; ‘They all act weird’; That can only be done for a huge paycheck. There is no way a person will wear that voluntarily without being greatly compensated’; ‘She is a beautiful woman… stylist has some explaining to do’; ‘Normally she looks fantastic, but this dress is downright comical’. 

Michelle’s outfits at the other screenings have been far more typical of her usual style.

In Singapore last week, Michelle looked incredible in a bubble style dress with a deeply plunging neckline and a bouncy blonde bob.

Before this she attended the European premiere in a strapless black dress, with her dark locks swept off her face into a sleek bun.

During a night out in Paris with the cast, Michelle, who plays Madame Morrible, was dressed to impress in a purple caped evening gown with white opera gloves.

The jaw-dropping outfits and appearances from the stars of the film on the promo tour have once again created water-cooler moments.  

Last week, Elphaba actress Cynthia Erivo was forced to jump in between Ariana Grande and an overzealous fan who had jumped over the barricade to see her. 

When Wicked: Part One was released last year Ariana and Cynthia were the names on everybody’s lips. 

However, it wasn’t necessarily for their role in the film itself, which was less of a talking point than the bizarre press tour that accompanied it. 

Cynthia and Ariana were caught up in a series of embarrassing blunders, gaffes and mocked for their constant crying.

Indeed, one particular interview went viral around the globe, with the clip dubbed the pair’s ‘holding space’ moment after Cynthia burst into tears at being told fans were ‘holding space’ with the lyrics of Defying Gravity. 

The fanfare around the movie went into overload, with merchandise galore and star-studded premieres.
