A hero has emerged amid the motley crew that are the guests of this season’s fictional The White Lotus outpost in Thailand. Ok, arguably there are two: as Belinda looks set to catch out Tanya’s scammer ex Gary. But Aimee Lou Wood’s Chelsea is a standout favourite with viewers.
Wood plays a Mancunian yoga teacher who has found her unlikely “soulmate” in curmudgeonly Rick, played by Walton Goggins. And in spite of two (sort of, not really) near death experiences on the trip after just three episodes, she’s endearingly optimistic. And as well as her deadpan delivery of one-liners and fixation with star signs, her holiday style has helped her to win over legions of viewers. And central to Wood’s look is the fact that her hair is holiday beauty realised.
