Throughout the six seasons of Schitt's Creek, Moira Rose (Catherine O'Hara) has worn an enormous array of wigs. The beloved Canadian sitcom focuses on the formerly wealthy Rose family who lives in the titular small town after losing their fortune. Though the Roses slowly learn to appreciate their new home, they haven't completely dropped habits from their old lifestyle – and that includes Moira's fabulous collection of wigs.
Interestingly, Catherine O'Hara's Moira is the reason why wigs play a big part in Moira's life. In an interview (via Variety), the actress explained that she was inspired by friends who would frequently wear different wigs throughout the evening at a dinner party and asked if this personality trait could be incorporated into Moira's character. Moira's love of wigs perfectly fits her theatrical and stylish character, and it's fun to see the variety of hair colors, lengths, and styles she sports during Schitt's Creek's 80 episodes. In the Variety interview, hairstylist Ana Sorys revealed that she thinks Moira has "over a hundred wigs" and that "one wig equals three or four different styles." Here's every wig Moira Rose wears in Schitt's Creek and the episodes in which they appear.
