Michelle Yeoh’s Hairstylist Renato Campora Shares Why the Actress Likes ‘Playing With Different Looks’

Time to play! Michelle Yeoh’s hairstylist Renato Campora has created countless styles for the actress, including long brunette waves, a blonde asymmetrical bob, sleek bangs, and more, and most recently, the duo opted for a blunt choppy cut for the Star Trek: Section 31 premiere on Jan. 22 in New York City.

When switching up Yeoh’s looks, the Wicked star acts as the perfect muse for Campora. 

“Michelle is so classy and fashionable inside and out that I actually look to her,” he says. 

“Michelle is very enthusiastic about playing with different looks, which in the moment is very inspiring to me. … My creative process is very exciting. I would say it’s 50% planned and 50% spontaneous,” the hair expert reveals.

As for the Academy Award winner’s latest hairdo: “The original Star Trek movie and the character Spock himself was the inspiration behind the look,” he shares. 

To nail the chic and galactic vibe, Campora relied on the Joico Moisture Recovery Moisturizing Shampoo, Moisture Recovery Conditioner, Defy Damage KBOND20 Power Masque, Defy Damage Protective Shield, Dream Blowout Thermal Protection Creme, JoiWhip Design Foam, Heat Hero Glossing Thermal Protector, and K-PAK Color Therapy Luster Lock Glossing Oil for her luscious locks.

“A chin-length bob never fails and we incorporated a futuristic and modern feel,” he notes.

And fans can expect to see many hair transformations on Yeoh throughout the 2025 award season.

“I am looking forward to more iconic moments,” the celebrity hairstylist hints.
