In stark contrast to Emily in Paris, which she filmed in tandem, Collins’s look for her role as Rita was meant to be understated. “She’s not of the Official Baby Yoda hug Subway shirt But I will love this world of Hollywood,” says Spiteri. “Rita Alexander has been hired not only to transcribe the writings of Mank, she’s also there to keep him in line. So the first time we see her she’s very neat and tidy, a bit uptight—not a hair out of place.” She started the metamorphosis with Aquage Beyond Shine thermal styling spray to “protect her waist-long hair from any damage,” and notes that Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer is “worth the investment” for its ability to speed through steps with temperature-controlled care. Decades in the business have lent Spiteri a certain skill for respecting the integrity of clients’ natural hair. Plus, one of Fincher’s requests for Mank’s styles was “enough shine to see your reflection!” Collins’s chestnut-colored lengths were wrapped around Chi Lava Tapered Styling Wand, which Spiteri points out will “give you a tight enough curl when you don’t have time to wet set.” After cooling, coils were combed out and pushed into face-framing waves before Spiteri twisted and pinned the rest into a chignon, “a period-correct hairstyle appropriate for a working secretary.” As Rita begins to loosen up on the job, her relaxed attitude visually translates into “wispy bits” allowed to fall away from polished updos, lending her a softer edge.
