From a movie star to a fashion icon.
Michelle Yeoh has done it again, and we can’t get over her extravagant looks for Cannes Film Festival 2023. Whether it’s her iconic MET Gala looks or stylish ensembles during her recent visit to Kuala Lumpur, Yeoh continues to showcase her impeccable taste.
The movie star is truly a force to be reckoned with. When she’s not on the red carpet, you’ll catch her on movie sets with the biggest names. Her current project, “American Born Chinese,” has her working and reuniting alongside esteemed actors Ke Huy Quan and Stephanie Hsu. But her dedication and passion don’t stop there. She’s also landed roles in highly-anticipated films and series like “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts,” “A Haunting in Venice,” “Wicked,” and “Avatar.”
With the Cannes Film Festival 2023 underway, it’s no surprise to witness the actor deliver show-stopping ensembles on the red carpet. Yeoh has expressed in interviews that she isn’t afraid of experimenting with fashion, which explains why we’ve seen the star dressed in various sophisticated-meets-bold silhouettes. In Cannes, the Malaysian star went with two dynamic couture looks by French Maison Balenciaga.
What Michelle Yeoh wore to the Cannes Film Festival 2023:
Michelle Yeoh wore a custom couture Balenciaga dress while attending the “Firebrand” premiere. She dazzled in a draped bustier column dress in emerald green crinkled silk taffeta with a couture oversized stola. To complete her look, she wore opera gloves in black viscose and knife pumps in black leather.
