For the ceremony s red carpet, both de Armas and stylist Samantha McMillen wanted a formal look that paid homage to Marilyn Monroe’s signature Old Hollywood style through a fresh modern lens. To do so, they landed on an architectural dress and jewelry from Louis Vuitton (she serves as a brand ambassador for the label). Designed by Nicolas Ghesquière, her strapless bustier gown featured a graphic front panel that was embroidered with 3D sequins in a geometric pattern. It took a total of 150 hours, 25 meters of silk, and 800 sequins to complete the design.
It was truly Michelle Yeoh’s night at the Golden Globes on Tuesday evening. The actor won the Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy award for her role as Evelyn Quan Wang in Everything Everywhere All At Once one of the year’s buzziest films and her powerful acceptance speech on stage brought down the house. Yeoh spoke of her long fight to make it in Hollywood as a Malaysian actor, and dedicated her award to “all who came before me who look like me, and all who are going on this journey with us.” The next day, Yeoh expanded further on why the award was so meaningful to her. “Representation is a nonstop battle, but our society continues to evolve and we have to see that reflected on our screens,” she tells Vogue. “It means so much to me to be a part of such an incredible film that will continue to break glass ceilings for Asian representation, while also promoting a message of kindness, love and family.” The actor also shared that the project has been one of her most challenging and meaningful to date. “For it to come now, after 40 years, has been the biggest blessing,” says Yeoh. “Playing Evelyn was demanding both physically and mentally, and sometimes you worry that the older you get, you will not be given these opportunities because people see you by your age rather than by your capability. It was also so beautiful for me to be able to give a voice to a very ordinary woman, an aging immigrant woman, who had never really had a voice before.”
