Odessa A'zion is setting the record straight about the internet's favorite question: Is her hair real, or is it a wig?
In a conversation with Deadline at the 2026 Critics' Choice Awards, the 25-year-old actress addressed online speculation surrounding her signature curly hairstyle, confirming that the truth depends on which red carpet fans are talking about.
"I've been told about that," said A'zion, per People. "There's a whole debate, 'Is it a wig? Is it not?' I guess we'll never know. No, I'm kidding."
The actress went on to explain that the confusion stems from her recent Marty Supreme premieres.
"The gag is the L.A. premiere 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 said.
A'zion also shut down the idea that she's secretly rocking luxury hairpieces on the regular.
"You think I can afford a wig like that and wear it all the time?" she joked. "Those are so expensive. I've heard wigs can go up to like $20,000 or $30,000. Are you fucking kidding me? I don't even have a hair, makeup, and stylist because I'm trying to save my money [...] Maybe one day."
For the Critics' Choice Awards, A'zion stepped out in a custom silver look by Ott Dubai, featuring dramatic cape-style sleeves, intricate embellishments, and a high neckline with a cutout detail.
At the Los Angeles premiere of Marty Supreme on December 8, the actress opted for a bold charcoal-gray Marc Jacobs suit, wearing the blazer without a shirt underneath, and her hair was in shoulder-length curls, a look she later confirmed was wig-assisted.
Meanwhile, at the New York City premiere on December 16, A'zion wore a black beaded gown she co-designed with L'Atelier 7474 and Maison Privée, complete with sheer off-the-shoulder sleeves.
Marty Supreme, an A24 film directed by Josh Safdie, stars Timothée Chalamet as Marty Mauser, a determined character inspired by a real-life Jewish-American table tennis pioneer. A'zion plays his love interest, Rachel Mizler. The film also features Gwyneth Paltrow, Tyler Okonma, Abel Ferrara, and Fran Drescher.
