de Armas, 34, is nominated for best actress for her performance in the Marilyn Monroe biopic Blonde. To prepare for this role, she had to go through some an intense transformation every single day. de Armas told Entertainment Tonight in September that for the upcoming film, getting into character was "quite a journey every day."

"It was about three hours to get ready every morning," she said at the Hollywood premiere of the film. "We have over, I don't know, more than a 100 wardrobe changes in the movie, and they're all so beautiful and iconic and everything," she continued. "Every detail is just, you know, perfect."

The biggest factor in her makeovers was getting the age and era right, as the film takes place over 36 years. "Every day when we achieved [a] look and we looked in the mirror and we knew we got it was really, really beautiful," de Armas shared.

Part of de Armas' important transformation into Monroe was turning her dark hair blonde. That journey was tough for de Armas to deal with, she shared. While it didn't require any bleaching, it did require a major change to her appearance.

"I had to go bald every day, because with the blonde wigs… [Marilyn] went through different shades of blonde from golden to really platinum, so for these wigs that are beautifully made, you can't have anything dark underneath, so we had to make a bald cap every single day from my forehead to [around] my whole head," she told Byrdie in March 2021.

"It was like, three and a half hours every day of makeup. I think I actually cried the first time I saw [the wigs] on. Probably because I was terrified," she said. "But, I'm so proud."

The 80th Golden Globe Awards ceremony is airing live on Tuesday, Jan. 10, at 8 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.
