‘Yellowstone’s Kelsey Asbille Looks Unrecognizable in Edgy Bob and Daring Naked Dress
Kelsey Asbille has earned the reputation of being somewhat of a chameleon. From her early roles in One Tree Hill and Teen Wolf to her Native American portrayals in Wind River and Yellowstone, the young Chinese-American star has adapted to the opportunities Hollywood presents her. In recent months, Asbille has donned daring looks that suit her blunt bob and new roles. Now, she’s pivoted to the horror genre with 2024’s Don’t Move.
On October 22, Asbille stepped out with Don’t Move costar Finn Wittrock for an LA photo call promoting the horror-thriller. The Yellowstone star went minimalist regarding her accessories. She walked in simple black slingback heels, forgoing jewelry entirely. The 33-year-old didn’t need much in that department as her sequined black gown stole the show.
Kelsey Asbille wore the floor-length, one-shoulder dress and a pair of black briefs with confidence. The Columbia, South Carolina, native ditched a bra for the evening. She opted to free the nipple and her spirit in the semi-sheer gown. The piece’s ruching at the shoulder and waist added definition to Asbille’s trim 5-foot-7 figure as she posed with Wittrock, who portrays a seasoned killer in Don’t Move.
Produced by Sam Raimi (The Evil Dead, Drag Me to Hell), Don’t Move follows Iris (Asbille), a grieving woman who’s injected with a paralytic agent by a man whom she must run and hide from before her body shuts down entirely. Wittock and Asbille filmed the horror in Bulgaria during June and July of 2023. Over a year later, they’re finally getting to celebrate the film, which begins streaming on Netflix on October 25.
Asbille may have described Don’t Move best when she spoke with Tudum: “It’s a propulsive, stripped-down thriller that manages to feel very personal at times. That’s what resonated with me, fighting desperately to overcome something that has left you feeling paralyzed.” Asbille’s costar admires her ability to “express so much” without being able to use most of her body. Wittrock explained, “Watching the movie, I was really so impressed by how much she was able to communicate.”
Asbille first chopped her long dark hair in the summer of 2022, debuting it on Instagram in October of that year. Since then, she enjoyed partnerships with Louis Vuitton and Mercedes Benz, appeared on the covers of HERO MAGAZINE and New York Magazine, and concluded filming on Yellowstone. The neo-Western drama concluded the first part of its fifth and final season on November 13, 2022. The second part of season 5 will premiere on November 10, 2024.
