Though the star is something of a red carpet veteran at this point, this year’s whirlwind of ceremonies is a particularly special one, given that Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert’s unlikely critical smash has finally brought Yeoh the mainstream recognition she deserves. (She’s also in the running for the Best Actress Oscar, and if successful, will be the first nominee who identifies as Asian to take home the trophy in the 95 year history of the Academy Awards.) “This journey has been so exciting, to say the least,” says Yeoh. “Overwhelming at times, but nonetheless inspiring.”
With the spotlight firmly on her at 60, the actor has already worn sculptural Schiaparelli, Armani Privé sequins, princess y Carolina Herrera and even a lilac Off White shorts suit as the awards season juggernaut rumbles on. “It’s fun and fabulous to dress up and try different looks,” says Yeoh, who names her mother as her personal style icon, of her joyful approach to formalwear. “To celebrate with our family and fans who are so supportive.” For BAFTA night, the star turned to Dior, and the “brilliance” of creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri, who was behind the caped blush pink suit Yeoh wore to walk the red carpet at Royal Festival Hall. “Dior embodies passion, excellence and reinvention,” says Yeoh, who was aiming for “English chic” with the tailored design, a look she says made her feel stylish and fun. On the accessories front, Michelle chose Moussaieff diamonds to offset her look, which added fitting amounts of sparkle for a leading lady who is fully embracing her time to shine.
