The Crown Season 5 Hair and Makeup Details Interview
Princess Diana is a clear favorite of season five, but Hall has a few other standout looks that are worth noting. “I had so many favorites that it was like wig heaven,” she says. One was Jonny Lee Miller as John Major; he transformed into “this middle-aged, sort of slightly nerdy, ’90s guy who kept the same haircut for years, and years.”
Camilla Parker Bowles, played by Olivia Williams, is also worthy of a mention. “That was such a satisfying haircut,” Hall says. “It’s not very glamorous; it’s not overly styled, and yet, it captures something that I feel very proud of.”
Though you shouldn’t be able to recognize it, you’ve seen the wig Williams is wearing before — in a previous season on the then-Camilla, played by Emerald Fennell. “It’s Camilla’s old wig sort of transformed and altered,” Hall says. She tries to reuse wigs from previous seasons whenever possible. “It’s good to recycle.”
