6 of Gemma Chan's most captivating beauty looks
You don't have to be a regular on the film or fashion circuit to have heard about Gemma Chan. For some, the English actress first made an impression as the fabulous Astrid Leong-Teo in Crazy Rich Asians . While others might recognise her from her ongoing ventures in Hollywood's biggest franchises, including the Eternals and Captain Marvel , Chan is easily one of the most sought after and versatile actors we have today. Beyond the silver screen, Chan has been a quiet red carpet fixture—shutting down the carpet with her signature brand of elegance and beauty. And as a UNICEF UK ambassador, she sure knows how to be a hero off-screen too, using her platform to champion important causes with the same passion she brings to every role.
Her ambassadorships with sartorial heavyweights like Louis Vuitton and L'Oréal Paris have made her a global icon for fashion and beauty alike. With her rapidly growing resume, there is no doubt that Chan has surely made her mark. And by the looks of it, she's only just getting started. As of 2025, this includes being named the latest global ambassador for Cartier and stepping into the role of a producer, with projects such as Rise of the Empress and the upcoming adaption of Pim Wangtechawat's novel The Moon Represents My Heart . Whether she's busy captivating our screens or reinventing herself on the red carpet, Chan has proved that she's a woman full of grace, limitless talent and a multi-faceted beauty—both inside and out.

1 / 6 Party ready
Nothing screams party ready quite like a smouldering smokey cat eye. One that works its way down to the eye-line—for extra drama. Pair it with a nude lip like Chan did for Vogue Singapore's June cover shoot, and let your eyes do all the talking. Getty
2 / 6 Power pout
When it comes to a red lip, no one wears it quite like Chan. At the red carpet of the movie ' Eternals' during the 16th Rome Film Fest in 2021, she stunned in a bold cherry hue that perfectly complemented her look. A classic red lip after all, can be the ultimate head turner. Getty

At 2021 Met Gala, Chan ensured all attention fell on her lids by pairing this pistachio green eyeshadow with an understated pink lipstick—the perfect pout to let those 'green with envy' eyes do all the talking. David M. Benett

5 / 6 Keeping it classy
Channeling her inner Audrey Hepburn at the opening of the 2025 V&A Cartier exhibition, Chan's sleek old Hollywood-esque bun stole the show, with a loose hanging tendril to soften the look. Getty
6 / 6 All that glitters
At the 2019 Met Gala, Chan went full ice queen with this Elizabeth Taylor inspired headgear; a fitting finish to her Tom Ford gown, might we add.

Risqué sheer skirts are taking over the cool girls' wardrobes—here's how to wear them
Getty She's not new, but she's sneaking back in with fresh moves. That barely-there skirt—audacious and borderline risqué—can low-key slide into subtle territory too. Maybe that's the magic of it. One moment it's scandalous, the next it's lowkey chic. So why are sheer skirts still holding court? Maybe because it refuses to pick a side. It's as audacious as it is adaptable, teasing modesty while serving just the right amount of drama. On the spring/summer 2025 runways, it made its presence known in more ways than one: at Fendi, it was styled down with a soft, slouchy top—effortless and casual; while at Hermès, it leaned tailored and precise, layered over shorts and topped with a matching bomber that felt sleek and urbane. Two ends of the spectrum, same core piece. Fendi spring/summer 2025 Umberto Fratini Hermès spring/summer 2025 Daniele Oberrauch Off the runway, the styling game has no limits. You'll see it over shorts, skirts, even pants. Sometimes tied around the waist like a last-minute afterthought that somehow pulls the whole look together. Dua Lipa, for instance, flipped the script on the not-so-office-friendly cream skirt, throwing an oversized coat over a sleek bodysuit. Rihanna wearing a dark lace rendition, paired with an oversized navy blue bomber jacket. @shotbyjuliann Dua Lipa putting a business casual spin on the piece—styling it with an oversized coat. @dualipa And Rihanna proved her baby bump is no limitation—if anything, it's unlocking new chapters in her fashion playbook. The queen of style stepped out in a dark lace version, paired with a navy bomber and a stunning diamond necklace. And of course, K-pop it girl Jennie is no stranger to the trend. Her airport look featured a sheer piece with a jagged hemline, layered over shorts and paired with a cosy checked flannel and brown suede jacket. The crowd's favourite move for sheer skirts? Layering. Over or under, sometimes both—just enough to hint at what's underneath. Go tonal or clash textures—lace over cotton, sheer over denim—for that extra pop of texture and surprise. Below, peruse the myriad ways to work this risqué little wildcard into your wardrobe. @dualipa 1 / 22 Not so business casual: Dua Lipa Oversized coat? Check. Sheer skirt? Also check. This look says, 'I mean business'—but the kind that comes with dinner plans on the side. Don't forget a statement bag and matching stilettos to seal the vibe—playful and structured on top, translucent below.

From sheer skirts over shorts or pants, to loosely tied versions around the waist—there's something unexpectedly textured and cool about layering. Fabric choice matters, too: a stiffer mesh adds structure, while gauzy renditions reads romantic. Courtesy of Farfetch 6 / 22 Layer it on: Marc Le Bihan skirt, $2,645 Available at Farfetch.

This take makes the trend feel lived-in and low-stakes—ideal for errands, coffee runs, or even just leaning into the I-woke-up-like-this energy.

Getty 14 / 22 Tactile play: Anya Taylor-Joy Summer is flirting with textures this season, and crochet and lace are totally here for it. A crochet skirt can be your outfit's showstopper or the subtle anchor that quietly holds everything together. Either way, it's a tactile twist that adds depth and dimension to your whole look.
