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. From her signature red lip to a multidimensional smokey eye, Vogue Singapore presents a curation of Gemma Chan's best beauty looks. Peter Ash Lee 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 3 / 6 Pink and green 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 4 / 6 Peach perfection At the 2023 Elle Style Awards, Chan gave a fresh take to the 2016 peachy make-up trend with her flushed apricot cheeks, warm tone lids, and a pale pink gloss. Courtesy of Cartier 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.

Gemma Chan says UK aid cuts cannot be borne by ‘most vulnerable children'
Crazy Rich Asians actress Gemma Chan has said UK aid cuts cannot be "borne by the most vulnerable children in the world" after signing and delivering an open letter to 10 Downing Street. Chan, 42, who is also a Unicef ambassador, delivered the open letter on Monday, calling on the UK government to ensure that 25% of the aid budget is spent on "life-saving and life-changing work for children". The letter comes after the UK government announced it would cut foreign aid from 0.5% gross national income (GNI) to 0.3% from 2027, in order to increase defence spending.

Speaking to PA news agency, Chan said: "We're definitely living in a really challenging time and difficult decisions are having to be made, but I feel that these decisions shouldn't be borne by the most vulnerable children in the world. "Things like vaccinations, access to health care, they're a human right. No matter where a child lives, they deserve access to that. "Today is really about just making sure that we're speaking up at this really difficult time for people that don't have anyone advocating for them." The actress recently travelled to Malawi with Unicef UK and saw the ways UK funding has helped develop solutions to overcome healthcare and climate change challenges. This includes using solar panels to help improve health in rural communities by extending the shelf life of vaccines by keeping them refrigerated, and using drones to help speed up test results and to deliver health supplies. This is supported by the African Drone and Data Academy, which trains young people to use satellite technology to map flooding damage and better predict weather patterns to improve agriculture, health and emergency responses. Chan added: "I'm really inspired by the young people that I meet in the course of doing my work with Unicef and trips like this trip to Malawi. "I think it's really important not to lose hope, and it's really important to support the people that are really doing tireless, not necessarily very glamorous work, but working every day to make sure that children everywhere are given a good chance that (they are) growing up healthy and to be able to pursue their hopes and their dreams." Speaking about the open letter, Chan emphasised that aid for children should be "prioritised". She said: "(The letter is) calling on the government to make sure that, in spite of the recent decisions and the cuts to international aid, that aid for children is prioritised and to make sure that 25% of the budget is spent on these vital programmes for children in areas such as health, nutrition, education, sanitation and just to make sure that the world's most vulnerable children aren't bearing the brunt of these really difficult decisions." Homeland actor David Harewood also signed the letter alongside British-Somali Olympic boxer Ramla Ali, who fled Somalia with her family as a child and went on to compete for the world title. The open letter says: "We know that by almost every measure, 2024 was one of the worst years on record for children in conflict. "Cutting critical aid again, this time even more drastically, will put their lives at risk and undo decades of progress. "The UK's commitment to spend 0.7% of gross national income on aid demonstrated our leadership and our compassion. The decision to cut it to 0.3% will make it impossible for this government to achieve its aspirations of tackling extreme poverty, addressing the climate crisis and building long-term global security."
