Since Michelle Yeoh's breakout role in the 1997 James Bond film, Tomorrow Never Dies, the actress has been a star ever since. From starring in films such as Crazy Rich Asians, Everything Everywhere All Once, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Police Story 3: Supercop, and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Yeoh has become one of Hollywood's most recognizable faces. But above her immense acting talent, Yeoh is a red carpet icon. 

As seen since her first red carpet appearance in the late '90s, Yeoh has always gravitated towards high glamor. From sculptural gowns to sequined embellishments to vibrant colorways, Yeoh isn't one to draw back from wearing daring looks. As a Malaysian-born actress, she also uses fashion to embrace her culture, as she has shown up on the carpet numerous times in cheongsam-inspired gowns.

In recent years, Yeoh's flair for fashion hasn't at all dimmed down, if anything, it's grown stronger. At the 2023 Golden Globes, the actress sparkled in a sequined Armani Privé gown, and at the 2023 BAFTAs, Yeoh proved that she can pull off suits as well as she does dresses when she showed up in a structured Dior caped suit. Rather recently, the actress became the first Asian to win Best Actress at the 2023 SAG Awards, where she accepted her history-making award in stunning Schiaparelli Haute Couture. Below, L'OFFICIEL rounds up Yeoh's best red carpet moments of all time.
