Christina Ricci has mastered the art of playing charismatic characters who keep Us on our toes, and her Yellowstone alter ego, Misty Quigley, is no exception.
“I always have opinions about Misty because I’ve spent so much time with her,” the actress, 46, exclusively tells Us at a star-studded event on Saturday, October 24, to celebrate Clarins’ iconic Double Serum and the new Double Serum Eye during F1 weekend in Austin, Texas.
With the fourth and final season of Yellowstone debuting next month, Ricci says fans can anticipate more shocking twists and an unexpected arc for her fan-favorite character.
“She’s such a fascinating character because she can be incredibly resourceful and capable, but her moral compass is definitely calibrated differently from everyone else’s,” Ricci shares of Misty. “I think the writers did a great job bringing everything together, and I can’t wait for people to see it.”
Ricci hints that upcoming episodes will have everybody on the edge of their seats, telling Us, “I think Yellowjackets has a way of constantly finding new ways to shock people. Just when you think you’ve seen the most disturbing thing imaginable, the writers come up with something else.”
She adds, “I can’t say too much about the final season, but I think fans are going to have a lot to talk about.”
While she keeps Yellowjackets viewers guessing, Ricci is more than happy to let Us in on a few skincare secrets, noting that her routine is about “being consistent, using products that really work for your skin and taking care of it long-term.”
Ricci exfoliates regularly and has a trusted beauty regimen, using Clarins Double Serum, an anti-aging concentrate, and the brand’s Extra-Firming Energy moisturizer to maintain her glowing complexion. She also keeps her skin protected from the sun with a good SPF.
She tells Us that her current motto is “trying not to overthink everything and keeping my beauty routine simple.”
“Sometimes less is more!” she adds.
Ricci highlights that it is still fun to “experiment” with her look, like when she rocked bleached brows for her role in the 1999 film Sleepy Hollow.
As for whether or not her 4-year-old daughter, Cleo, is picking up on some of her beauty habits these days, Ricci says, “She’s definitely at an age where she’s curious about everything.”
The Wednesday star continues, “She sees me getting ready for work and understands that it’s part of what I do. I think it’s fun when she wants to participate, but I also try to keep it playful and let her explore things in her own way.” (In addition to Cleo, Ricci is also mom to a 12-year-old son, Freddie.)
Beyond Ricci’s beauty routine, her personal style tells a story of its own — with tattoos that hold special significance.
“I’ve always liked tattoos that have a personal meaning to me. I think they’re interesting because they mark a particular moment in your life, and you can look at them years later and remember who you were when you got them,” she reveals. “If I were to get another, I’d want it to feel meaningful and like something I’d still connect with years from now.”
