15 times Gemma Chan championed Asian designers on and off the red carpet
Gemma Chan / @gemmachan It's been quite the ride for British actress Gemma Chan. Many would know her as the astute and elegant Astrid Leong in 2018's Crazy Rich Asians, the film that catapulted her to international stardom or perhaps her subsequent blockbuster role in the Marvel universe, portraying Sersi in Eternals. Much like art imitating life, there's always an air of sophistication and grace that Chan carries in her recognised roles, one that is present during her red carpet appearances and public outings over the years. From her dazzling Tom Ford Met Gala debut in 2019 to a show-stopping golden moment in Oscar de la Renta at Cannes earlier this year, it has been a delight to see her step confidently into the role of style star and bring much needed BIPOC representation to the industry, with the actress favouring Asian designers when it comes to her press outings. Now returning as Vogue Singapore's June 'Gold' cover star, the newly-minted Cartier ambassador is gearing up for an exciting new chapter—one where she will step into producer shoes, namely a biopic of legendary Chinese-American actress Anna May Wong where she will develop and star in. The notion of spotlighting Asian voices through her platform has always been something close to Chan's heart, and it's prominent through her red carpet and press looks. Those who are familiar with her most noteworthy looks would recognise Miss Sohee, Jason Wu and Huishan Zhang as just a few of the Asian designers that Chan has in her rotation. Below, see 15 occasions where Gemma Chan has championed Asian designers. 1 / 15 Miss Sohee South Korean designer Sohee Park has been a longstanding collaborator of Chan's and her recent trip out to Singapore for Cartier's Nature Sauvage Ball had the British actress clad in a red luminous gown, decorated with golden blooms. A perfect match for the star's jewellery for the night. @gemmachan 2 / 15 Huishan Zhang Looking ever so radiant at a beauty launch in London, the English starlet made a form-fitting entrance in one of Chinese-born designer Huishan Zhang's ensembles. 3 / 15 Self Portrait Serving up a smouldering twist of the classic suit and tie, Chan stepped out in a Self Portrait deconstructed blazer and a sheer LBD for The Actor premiere in New York. Getty 4 / 15 Jason Wu She's a lady in red, once again. This time, at the Louvre's Grand Fashion Dinner, Chan turned heads in a flooring silk creation by Jason Wu; a look immaculately paired with diamonds from Cartier. The Taiwanese-Canadian designer needs no introduction, having made headlines after designing Michelle Obama's inaugural ball gown in 2009. @gemmachan 5 / 15 Miss Sohee A corseted peplum complete with the wonders of draping, this Miss Sohee creation was made like armour for Chan as she attended the Newport Beach Film Fest.

Gemma Chan / @gemmachan 8 / 15 Prabal Gurung At the Met Gala in May 2021, Chan and designer Prabal Gurung paid tribute to the first Chinese-American actress, Anna May Wong, with a black sequinned mini dress accompanied by a pastel green train. Born in Singapore to Nepali parents and raised in Kathmandu, Gurung is known as much for his advocacy as for his designs. Gemma Chan / @gemmachan 9 / 15 Prabal Gurung On day one of her Crazy Rich Asians Los Angeles press tour, Chan opted for a dress with contrasting plaid fabrics gathered at the waist with cut-out detailing. Gemma Chan / @gemmachan 10 / 15 Yuhan Wang Gemma Chan posed for a selfie while wearing a form-fitting lace ensemble with red button accents from Yuhan Wang spring/summer 2021 in March 2021.

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.

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 .

Hopeful Fans Are Theorizing Angelina Jolie's New Hair Color May Have to Do With Returning to This Role
Angelina Jolie is no stranger to experimenting with her hair, from long, luscious brunette waves to a pixie cut that people still recreate decades later. In the past year, she's gone blonde, and in the past few weeks, has gone even blonder into almost white, platinum hair. Despite being born a dark blonde, she's fully embracing the lighter side of hair colors, and it has fans in a frenzy. Now, before we get into it, this is just what fans are hoping for, not what's happening. But who knew that the internet had so many theories about Jolie's new hair?! More from SheKnows Boy Mom Zoe Saldana's Sons Are Total Thalassophiles in These Rare & Scenic Photos It all started when, earlier this week, an X account reposted a photo of Jolie's light blonde hair while attending the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. They posted it with the caption reading, 'and when she's blonde because she's secretly filming scenes for avengers doomsday as thena, then what???' For context: Jolie played Thena in the 2021 Marvel movie called The Eternals, where her character was an elite warrior Eternal. The film received mixed reviews from critics and viewers alike, but did gain a cult following in recent years. Marvel Boss Kevin Feige did say in the summer of 2024 that a sequel for Eternals wasn't on the horizon. According to IMDb, Jolie has three projects on the horizon: Maleficent 3, Maude v Maude, and Couture, as well as a movie alongside Aimee Lou Wood called Anxious People, per Deadline. So it's unclear if the blonde was for an upcoming role. Now, back to Marvel: when this X account posted that theory, it gained traction so quickly, with many other hopeful fans chiming in. Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled to be released on May 1, 2026, as part of Phase Six of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And as many Marvel fans know, the Avengers movies bring a lot of characters together. And let's face it, Marvel always finds a way to bring back characters we thought were dead or unable to come back. So, while this is just a fun fan theory, it has people thinking!

Box Office: Thunderbolts crosses USD 170M domestically, surpassing Eternals despite losing screens
Marvel Studios' Thunderbolts has officially topped Eternals at the US box office, marking a significant milestone over the Memorial Day weekend. With a current domestic total of USD 171.4 million, the ensemble superhero film has surpassed the USD 164.9 million lifetime gross of Eternals despite a noticeable drop in theater count and fierce competition from new releases. Now marketed as The New Avengers following a post-credit reveal, Thunderbolts earned USD 9.2 million in its fourth 3-day weekend. The Florence Pugh -led action film dropped 44.8 percent from the previous weekend, with a loss of 780 theaters on Friday amid a crowded summer box office. Next weekend, the film is expected to overtake the US totals of Captain America: The First Avenger and Thor, which earned USD 176.7 million and USD 181 million, respectively, further cementing its success among early MCU titles. Despite the strong run, the film is unlikely to hit the coveted USD 200 million domestic mark, but a final US total of around USD 195 million appears locked in. Globally, Thunderbolts has already grossed USD 355 million, making it the fifth-highest-grossing film of 2025 so far. Directed by Jake Schreier and written by Eric Pearson and Joanna Cao, Thunderbolts was released in the US on May 2 as the final entry in Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The star-studded cast includes Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, Wyatt Russell, Olga Kurylenko, Hannah John-Kamen, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and more alongside Pugh, portraying a team of antiheroes forced into an uneasy alliance on a mission that could lead to their redemption. Thunderbolts' production faced delays due to the 2023 Hollywood labor strikes, leading to some creative and casting changes. Filming eventually took place from February to June 2024 in Atlanta, Utah, and Kuala Lumpur. The film premiered in London on April 22 before its US release and received positive reviews for its surprising emotional core, grounded tone, and, of course, the ensemble performance. The asterisk in the title — originally mysterious — was revealed to stand for The New Avengers, signifying the rebranding of the team by the film's end. Marvel Studios has since shifted its promotional strategy accordingly. As Thunderbolts continues its run, it stands as both a commercial success and a pivotal point for the MCU's evolving future narrative.

Louise Redknapp admits 'it's a bit harder' as she opens up about age-gap romance
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Louise Redknapp has confessed that one aspect of her age-gap romance is proving "harder" as she opens up about her relationship. The 50-year-old singer has been dating 41-year-old London businessman Drew Michael since 2023. Louise was previously married to former Liverpool and England star Jamie Redknapp. The Eternals singer shares sons Charley, 19, and Beau, 15, with Jamie. On Lisa Snowdon and Andy Goldstein's We're Not Getting Any Younger podcast, Louise says Drew is "great" with the teenagers However, Louise admits that Drew's central London location often makes it difficult for the couple to keep a low profile, with paparazzi frequently snapping them while out in public. She said: "She said: "I've got a boyfriend who is great and lovely, and you know, just having a really nice time. He lives central, he lives in Soho, so we go to the bagel shop and it's a thing. "Gone are the days of side ponytail and a dirty tracksuit to get a tuna bagel. Now I have to think, 'Damn, sunglasses, coat'." (Image: louiseredknapp/Instagram) Louise explained that she's made a conscious decision not to hide her relationship, saying: "We don't purposely try. It is being central, where he is in Soho, it's a bit harder. And I just made the decision that I didn't want to hide anything." "I'm just going about my daily business, if you get snapped, you get snapped. If we don't, then great." Noting the age difference between the couple, mum-of-two Louise added: "We live in a society where if it's the other way round it doesn't get talked about- but it does get brought up. Louise has spoken out about the scrutiny surrounding her marriage to Jamie, stating: "I think it's that thing that people like to bring it up. It's easy headline material, nine years, but you know what, it's been lovely having a lovely time." Louise has previously opened up about the difficulties she faced during her divorce from Jamie, who has since married Frida Andersson. She described the experience as "horrendous" and revealed that the negative reactions from others made it even harder for her to cope. When asked about how the criticism affected her mental health, Louise shared: "I think for me, the lowest, pretty much a person could get to, just horrendous. I could never see a way out from how bad and low I felt at the time." She credited her children with giving her the strength to carry on, saying: "If I didn't have my kids, I think I would've just given up, like I really do. I think I just knew that my kids were my everything and they needed me." Louise went on to say she "never realised [how] people could be so unkind and say such terrible things", adding on Fearne Cotton's Happy Place podcast: "It blew my mind." She continued: "Whatever the situation, whatever the circumstance, the nastiness [that] would be said, even now when I think back, I can't even get the words out. I just don't understand how anyone can be so unkind and cruel to another human." Louise has since moved on and is now in a relationship with Drew Michael, whom she met at The Groucho Club in London during Jimmy Carr's 51st birthday celebrations. They went Instagram official two months later and made their red carpet debut in March 2024. Louise is set to feature on Sunday Brunch today (May 25), chatting with hosts Tim Lovejoy and Simon Rimmer. The programme broadcasts from 10am on ITV One.
