The Young and the Restless star Michelle Stafford is always getting glammed up as Phyllis. Fans are used to seeing Phyllis wearing her one-shoulder dresses and her makeup being flawless. However, for her current storyline, the actress opted for a different look.
Natural Look
Phyllis and her longtime rival Sharon (Sharon Case) are in a dangerous predicament. The two are being held captive by a mysterious kidnapper in a dingy room.
For the past few weeks, Phyllis and Sharon have worn the same clothes while in captivity. The women are already looking frazzled with their tired expressions and disheveled hair.
It’s a far cry from their glamorous styles, but their unkempt appearance adds to the drama of the kidnapping storyline.
Stafford even decided to up the ante by not using makeup for filming. In an Instagram post, the actress shared her decision to go au naturel.
”Umm…current storyline,” Stafford began the caption. “Yikes, ya know…I decided to go ‘real’ for this story. I may regret my decision.”
Stafford’s decision to go without makeup was met with positive comments.
”I like it,” General Hospital star Finola Hughes wrote.
”You’re amazing!” Y&R co-star Zuleyka Silver commented.
”You are real. That’s what I love about you. Love the story,” one fan wrote.
”I love your frazzled look! It is realistic,” another commenter replied.
”You look amazing! Beautiful with or without makeup!” another user wrote.
Phyllis and Sharon have been put through the wringer thanks to their captor. But the good news is they won’t be in the room too much longer. According to Stafford’s post, the kidnapping story will wrap up in the next two weeks.
The characters will be happy to be free and reunited with their families. They’ll also be glad to get out of their old clothes and freshen up.
