Moira rose
There are Moira Rose tattoos, Moira Rose face coverings, Moira Rose drag impersonators and countless devotees who painstakingly recreate Moira's spectacular ensembles for fan events. Thanks to O'Hara's stellar performance, she has been the breakout of the series, and the cult of Moira Rose has exploded since Schitt's Creek arrived on Netflix. Moira, a former soap star married to dapper businessman Johnny (Eugene Levy), is the stylish matriarch, and the inattentive mother to two spoiled twenty-somethings, David (Daniel Levy) and Alexis (Annie Murphy).
MOIRA ROSE TV
Over six seasons, the Canadian sitcom has risen from cult favourite to global smash hit, and its record-breaking Emmys sweep cemented its place as a TV legend - and Moira's legacy as a style icon.įor anyone who has missed the show, it follows the Rose family, a high society quartet who lose their fortune and must relocate to Schitt's Creek, the small town they once bought as a gag and their only remaining asset. It was one of nine awards for the show, the most ever for a comedy in a single year. In further recognition, Hanson and her assistant Darci Cheyne won the prize for Outstanding Contemporary Costumes, beating out stiff competition from the likes of Killing Eve, Unorthodox and Euphoria. And she utters the beautiful line, "Did you put Kristen with Robin? They don't like each other," which leads us to believe that, yes, all her wigs have names.Any follower of the show will know that Moira's theatrical look is just as much a part of the fan-favourite character as her unplaceable accent and singular way with words. She frantically rushes to pack them away in bags while the family's assets are being seized, so you know they're important to her. In the pilot, viewers get their first look at Moira's collection of wigs. Season 1, episode 1: "Our Cup Runneth Over" I am 99% sure this is every wig, but if I missed one, please let me know. I scrolled through all 66 episodes of the show using Netflix's scrubber preview bar, and took a screenshot of every Moira wig (and a select few wig-like hats) that I saw. As a dedicated fan of the show, I decided I was up for the ambitious task. There have been a lot of "Best Wig" roundups over the years, but what the world really needed was someone to create a comprehensive list of every single wig that Moira's worn on Schitt's Creek so far. But as the show progresses, we get to delight in dozens of wigged Moira alter-egos.
In the pilot episode, we get a look at Moira's natural hair (shown below), which she sports frequently throughout the series. Ana Sorys, the hairstylist behind the Schitt's Creek wig-gallery, revealed that Moira has more than 100 different hairpieces for the show. As a character-revealing habit, it totally worked. In an interview with Variety, O'Hara, who'd been inspired by two friends who changed wigs frequently, said that she was the one who first asked if Moira could wear wigs whenever she felt like. She coordinates outfits around them, matches them to her moods, and has made the hairpieces an important part of her eccentric personality.
The theatrical, stylish, and tremendously layered character of Moira Rose (played by the legendary Catherine O'Hara) lives for wigs. Schitt's Creek is unlike any other show on television for so many reasons, the most visually apparent of which may be Moira Rose's iconic, statement-making wigs.
