Steel Magnolias has always been a dream show of mine so when I was asked to design hair, makeup, and wigs I was honored! Each character had their own concept and look(s) throughout the show and I am so incredibly proud of how they all turned out!
Shelby, Shelby - the biggest hair transformation of all! We kept her in a beautiful soft pink 80s makeup look but her hair was changed for all three scenes. The first wig was a lace front that was styled so she came in rolled in pink snap curlers which was then styled to be her wedding hair onstage. I was so proud of the finished product! Wig 2 was another lace front, but with her transition to married life we wanted her to be a little simpler so we stayed with a long, straight wig with a side part. Finally, for act two, we decided to go for a big chop but back to a more natural curl pattern style. We left some bang pieces and slicked back the sides, staying with an 80s style but emphasizing the major change in Shelby’s life.
