When Deadline asked her about the internet’s current obsession as to whether she’s with or without wig, the star replied, “I’ve been told about that. There’s a whole debate, ‘Is it a wig? Is it not?’ I guess we’ll never know. No…I’m kidding.”
“The gag is,” A’zion continued, “the L.A. premiere [of Marty Supreme] was a wig, and [for] the New York premiere, it took me five hours to do my hair, and everyone thinks it’s a wig.”
She continued: “You think I can afford a wig like that and wear it all the time? Those are so expensive. I’ve heard wigs can go up to like $20, or $30,000. Are you fucking kidding me? I don’t even have a hair, makeup, or stylist because I’m trying to save my money. Maybe one day.”
As shown below, when she did actually wear a wig, A’zion wore a sharp Marc Jacobs suit sans shirt, with the wig styled swept over to the side, curls much looser and sleek. Its length, too, was much shorter, at her clavicles. It felt much more ’50s in vibe, a la Marty Supreme.
In Hollywood and beyond in the world of celebritydom, wearing a wig is pretty standard. For actors, it offers a way to switch up their look without infringing on any contractual obligations for starring in a movie (maybe their character is scripted to have a bob, but they’re feeling in their Rapunzel-long tresses) or a quick vibe shift without spending hours in the stylist chair. Models will often don a wig for runways and shoots to keep themselves a blank canvas for work. And Kylie Jenner, for one, switches out her rainbow collection of wigs, while sister Kim has a penchant for an extra-long ponytail one minute, and an Edna Mode crop the next.
