Every Single Wig Moira Rose Has Worn On 'Schitt's Creek' - Mashable

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.

The theatrical, stylish, and tremendously layered character of Moira Rose (played by the legendary Catherine O'Hara) lives for wigs. She coordinates outfits around them, matches them to her moods, and has made the hairpieces an important part of her eccentric personality.

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. As a character-revealing habit, it totally worked. Ana Sorys, the hairstylist behind the Schitt's Creek wig-gallery, revealed that Moira has more than 100 different hairpieces for the show. Love that journey for her!

In the pilot episode, we get a look at Moira's natural hair (shown below), which she sports frequently throughout the series. But as the show progresses, we get to delight in dozens of wigged Moira alter-egos.

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. As a dedicated fan of the show, I decided I was up for the ambitious task.

I scrolled through all 80 episodes of the show's six seasons using Netflix's scrubber preview bar, and took a screenshot of every Moira wig (and a select few wig-like hats) that I saw. I am 99% sure this is every wig, but if I missed one, please let me know. And also, forgive me. My eyes are tired as hell.

Season 1, episode 1: "Our Cup Runneth Over"

In the pilot, viewers get their first look at Moira's collection of wigs. 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. 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.

Season 1, episode 2: "The Drip"

We see Moira flaunt her first statement wig when she, Johnny, and David go to Jocelyn and Roland's house in hopes of getting his signature on some documents. This wig saw the horror of Jocelyn's cheese ball and helped slap Roland across the face. It's a powerful one.

Season 1, episode 3: "Don't Worry, It's His Sister"

In episode 3, we get a nice shot of Moira's wig wall (and a rogue wig on a suitcase) before seeing her in a dramatic dark wig and sunglasses. Moira hides in the closet because she just read comments online that called her irrelevant. Never read the comments, Moira!

Season 1, episode 6: "Wine and Roses"

Season 1, episode 7: "Turkey Shoot"

This one's a huge episode for Moira's hair. We get a full shot of the wig wall when a freshly showered Moira realizes her towel isn't in the bathroom, then she winds up emerging from the motel with a shirt wrapped around her head. It's not technically a wig, but it's an important look, and inspires Jocelyn to take Moira to the salon where one of her actual wigs gets the Jocelyn treatment. 👀

Season 1, episode 10: "Honeymoon"

Moira breaks out a new wig to attend a party at Roland and Jocelyn's house. At one point during the festivities, Jocelyn says to Moira, "I have to ask you, are those wigs real hair?

Season 3, episode 3: "New Car"

We thought we'd give you a wig wall refresher before unveiling Moira's "shopping for a new car" look. She took it upon herself to assume a less fancy appearance before going to the car lot with Johnny in hopes that her new look would help secure them a lower price on a vehicle.

Moira's wig (and overall look) in one of the most heartwarming episodes of the series — the one where Patrick comes out to his parents — is perfection.

Season 5, episode 14: "Life is a Cabaret"

Before Stevie shows up and gives an award-worthy performance in Cabaret, a musical directed by Moira Rose, Moira puts on a wig and gets ready to play her understudy. Thankfully, we get to see both women in wardrobe.

Season 6, episode 1: "Smoke Signals"

Moira and this wig are clearly going through something because she's back in the dreaded closet. Things, of course, only get worse when a toaster fire starts in the motel.

Smoke fills Moira's motel room, and wouldn't you know it? She gets stuck in the closet! Don't fret, though. Roland breaks her out and she manages to save her precious bébés. Her girls. Her wigs.

Moira's Crowening wig returns in The Crows Have Eyes III: The Crowening trailer, which she spends the majority of the day forcing people to watch. Oh, and did we mention she also sports some statement-making feathers on her head in this episode?

Season 6, episode 5: "Crows Premiere"

OK it's not a wig, but we'd be doing you a disservice if we failed to highlight the stunning crown Moira wears to the Crows premiere. I firmly feel it's what kept all those rogue crows from attacking her directly.

Season 6, episode 6: "The Wingman"

Black streak alert! Black streak alert! Moira often has dark streaks visible in her hair, but this one is really speaking to me and as the series comes to a close I'm getting extra sentimental, OK?!

Season 6, episode 9: "Rebound"

I guess it sort of makes sense that this car got egged, because the pastel-streaked wig Moira wears to kick off this episode screams "Easter." To close out the episode we're also blessed with a second wig. How lucky are we? It's featured in film and television star Moira Rose's Schitt's Creek tourism video.

Season 6, episode 10: "Sunrise, Sunset"

Alexis powering through old episodes of Sunrise Bay in bed is such a mood, and one that allowed us to see Moira in her Vivien Blake wig onscreen before we caught it in person later in the episode.

Season 6, episode 11: "The Bachelor Party"

Moira's looking fierce as ever when she tells her friends that she boldly asked to be paid $100,000 more than Clifton Sparks and receive a diamond tennis bracelet for her role in the Sunset Bay reboot. She may have turned down the role, but it's clearly their loss. And this episode she graces us with a second Moira wig later on. It's an especially chaotic one that perfectly matches the family's whole escape room vibe.

Season 6, episode 13: "Start Spreading the News"

This episode opens with Moira in a hat, not a wig — but it's a hat that simply can't be ignored. We must spread the news of this hat's existence. It's our journalistic duty.

Season 6, episode 14: "Happy Ending"

The Schitt's Creek series finale opens with one final cute, quirky, and colorful Moira wig shown below. But then? Then it pulled out the big guns.

"Happy Ending" features one of Moira's absolute greatest looks: her award-worthy "I'm officiating David and Patrick's wedding" getup. It's one of the most brilliant wardrobe/hair marvels I've ever seen on my television screen. And some might argue that it's simply the best wig on the show.

SIMPLY THE BEST! Credit: pop tv / netflix

We'll miss you dearly, Schitt's Creek. But Moira's wigs will live on in our hearts (and this post) forever.

UPDATE: Oct. 4, 2020, 1:05 p.m. EDT Updated to include more brilliant Moira wigs from Schitt's Creek Season 6.
