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 6 / 15 Miss Sohee For the premiere of Eternals in October 2021, Chan wore a custom Miss Sohee creation at the 16th annual Rome Film Festival. Gemma Chan / @gemmachan 7 / 15 PH5 At the Eternals press tour, Chan kicked things off on day one in LA wearing a dress from PH5. Founded in 2014 by Wei Lin, the sustainability-focused knitwear brand based in NY and China blends sportswear aesthetics with playful silhouettes. 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. Since graduating from Central Saint Martins in 2016, Chinese-born designer, Yuhan Wang, has grown a formidable following. In addition to a three-season showcase with Fashion East, Wang was also shortlisted for the LVMH Prize in 2020. Gemma Chan / @gemmachan 11 / 15 Edeline Lee For the virtual premiere of Raya and the Last Dragon in March 2021 , Chan wore a dress from Edeline Lee's spring/summer 2021 collection paired with heels from Simone Rocha. Before launching her eponymous label, which focuses on precision and wearability, Korean-Canadian designer Edeline Lee interned at Alexander McQueen in London and John Galliano in Paris. Gemma Chan / @gemmachan 12 / 15 Huishan Zhang Chan wore a belted tweed number from Huishan Zhang on a press day for Raya and the Last Dragon in February 2021. T he Chinese-born designer studied at Central Saint Martins and interned at Dior, and runs his eponymous label from London. Gemma Chan / @gemmachan 13 / 15 Philip Lim Gemma Chan went for bold in a colour block outfit, in March 2019 , from 3.1 Phillip Lim spring/summer 2019. Born in Thailand to parents of Chinese descent, Phillip Lim, the co-founder and creative director of the label, immigrated to the US as a child and is an outspoken advocate for Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) causes. Gemma Chan / @gemmachan 14 / 15 Jason Wu At the Critics Choice Awards in January 2019, Chan was a floral fantasy in an exuberant off-shoulder gown from Jason Wu. Gemma Chan / @gemmachan 15 / 15 Simone Rocha As part of her promo tour for Crazy Rich Asians , Chan wore a lace-trimmed tulle dress with floral embroidery by Simone Rocha in September 2018. Best known for her quirky, ultra-feminine style, the Irish-Chinese designer often pays homage to her heritage in her collections. Vogue Singapore's June 'Gold' issue will be out on newsstands from 13 June and available to preorder online.

TOWIE's Ferne McCann one of millions with popular online side hustle
Ferne McCann has been making money on Vinted for years after clearing her wardrobe of items that sold from as little as £4 Ferne McCann is among the millions who turn old clothes from their wardrobes into cash. The former TOWIE star has been actively selling items on Vinted from her designer collection, including dresses and shoes being sold for a fraction of their original retail price. Under the username @fernemccann, she has nearly 100 items listed on Vinted. Judging by Ferne's review history, the mum-of-two has been making extra money from this side gig since 2022 and has achieved an almost flawless five-star rating on the app. Ferne can be seen modelling some of the garments. The telly star has also posted photos of the clothes hanging from a door or lay across the floor. She's cleared out some items from her wardrobe including a grey jumper from H&M that fetched £6. Her most recent listing is a Day 6 Satin Maxi Dress that was snapped up for £35. In one listing, Ferne is sporting a brown, medium-sized Bershka dress that she's hoping to get £17 for. Some of her more expensive pieces include a small Karen Millen top with an £85 price tag, reports Essex Live. Ferne's priciest item is a pair of size six, black and white studded Valentino heels that are available for £180. An orange cord from Secret Sewing Rooms, priced at £45, was posted six months ago but has yet to find a buyer, as reported by What's the Jam. The 34-year-old has already managed to sell a grey Zara skirt for a fiver and make £4 from a yellow Pretty Little Thing bucket hat as well as another £4 from a white H&M top. However, not all sales were small change, with a pair of white Dr Marten boots fetching £69 and a pink Self Portrait dress, which she appeared to wear to the races, selling for £80. As well as her own wardrobe, the mum has cleared out some of her children's old clothes by selling on some of their designer gear from £18. These include a grey Kenzo baby romper and a red and white Burberry polo dress. Vinted has an estimated 100 million worldwide. Specifically in the UK, there are around 16 million users, the app reports. Ferne isn't the only celeb to sell items on the platform. Love Island's Molly-Mae Hague and TV personality Katie Price are among the famous faces that are known to have accounts on the app. So, how does Vinted work? Vinted is a platform that enables people to buy and sell pre-loved items online - typically clothing, but it also includes a range of other categories like homeware. It operates as a marketplace where sellers list items with photos and descriptions, and buyers browse and make purchases. Once an item is sold, the seller receives a prepaid shipping label and has a set time (usually 5 days) to post the item to the buyer. Vinted handles the payment, and once the buyer confirms receipt of the item, the funds are released to the seller's Vinted balance and they can then transfer this into a bank account. Ferne first shot to fame on TOWIE in 2013, before taking part in ITV's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! in 2015, alongside fellow reality stars Vicky Pattison and Spencer Matthews. In 2017, she launched her own reality series, First Time Mum, which documented her journey as a single mum. The show was later renamed 'My Family and Me' after the birth of her second child, but it ended after 13 series in 2024. During this period, the 34-year-old also participated in Celebrity Best Home Cook and won Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins. Most recently, she competed in the 2025 series of Dancing on Ice, partnering with Brendyn Hatfield, but they were the second couple to be eliminated from the competition.

Kate Moss puts on a leggy display in a floaty yellow mini dress as she struts her stuff during fashion photoshoot
Kate Moss put her best foot forward on Sunday as she posed up a storm for a fashion photoshoot in central London. The model, 51, showed off her toned pins in a floaty yellow £320 mini dress during the shoot for brand Self-Portrait at London's Claridge's Hotel. Kate looked on fine form as she went braless beneath the summery outfit, which she teamed with a pair of black flats and a straw clutch bag. At one point the stunner added a black velvet blazer over the broderie anglaise dress, which smartened up the look for the shoot. Kate highlighted her radiant complexion with a minimal make-up palette, while her blonde locks were left to cascade over her shoulders. After shooting stills in Mayfair, the photoshoot then continued at a house in West London. Ever the professional, the veteran model looked in good spirits while surrounded by crew during her day's work. She was seen sharing a giggle with the staff amid the shoot on the London street. Kate's photoshoot comes after Rita Ora reportedly parted ways with her modelling agency after seven years, becoming the latest celebrity to exit the firm. The Poison singer, 34, joined her friend's agency in 2018 but is now said to be moving on as she shifts her focus toward securing global brand deals. According to The Sun, Rita is preparing to expand her reach internationally, having signed with major US firm Range Media back in October. An insider told the publication: 'Rita and Kate are still pals, but the time has come for them to do their own thing when it comes to business. 'Rita recently signed with Range, which handles all areas of her career — including music, film, TV and brand deals. 'It made sense for Rita to part ways with the Kate Moss Agency and have all of her deals in one place.' Kate looked on fine form as she went braless beneath the summery outfit, which she teamed with a pair of black flats and a straw clutch bag Kate highlighted her radiant complexion with a minimal make-up palette, while her blonde locks were left to cascade over her shoulders She was seen sharing a giggle with the staff amid the shoot on the London street The insider added that Kate had been a great mentor to Rita, who gained 'valuable experience during her time in the modelling industry'. MailOnline had contacted Kate and Rita's representatives for comment. Prior to signing with Kate, Rita was signed to Next models, who she had been with for six years. Meanwhile, Rolling Stones legend Keith Richards' granddaughter, Ella Richards, has also vanished from Kate's agency's website. Ella, who is Kate's goddaughter, is currently dating photographer Sascha Von Bismarck - the brother of Kate's ex-boyfriend, aristocrat Nikolai Von Bismarck. Kate has banked millions in profits though her modelling agency which looks after the likes of her daughter Lila. The supermodel founded her talent agency in September 2016 and her 2024 accounts revealed the huge amount Kate's firm has raked in. Fashionista Kate's company brought in £4.3million in profits, including £831,000 earned in 2023. For the year ending July 31, 2023, the agency held £5.9million in assets which included £2.6million in cash. It owed £1.5million in bills but just £13 in bank loans and overdrafts. The net assets rose from £3.5million in July 2022 to £4.31million. A source told The Sun: 'Kate started the business at the time Lila was starting to model. 'It was also at the time Kate herself was changing her lifestyle and stopping her renowned partying. 'So it has been a roaring success and she has other high-profile stars on the books. 'Kate has so much experience in the industry and has been able to apply it to what she knows best — modelling.'

Kate Moss shows off legs in luxury yellow dress as she struts London streets for fashion shoot
SUPERMODEL Kate Moss makes it all look so kneesy as she struts her stuff for a fashion photoshoot. The veteran catwalk queen, 51, was spotted in a £320 yellow mini dress at London hotel Claridge's. 4 She posed for fashion brand Self-Portrait, a favourite with the Princess of Wales and actresses Reese Witherspoon and Zendaya. Kate finished off the photo shoot at a house in West London. One of the stunner's latest outing saw her cut a casual figure in a blazer and jeans but she swapped her usual accessories for a cigarette and a Corona. She appeared relaxed during her stroll through central London as she made her way to visit a pal. Although there's no suggestion Kate was drinking the beer, the sight of her with the alcoholic beverage will no doubt raise eyebrows among fans after the former party girl went sober in 2018. Back in March, Kate was captured on video while posing for pictures in the front row of the Isabel Marant fall 2025 ready-to-wear showcase in the French capital. With her hands in the pockets of her black leather jacket, Kate crossed her legs and jerked from side to side while talking to a man next to her. She was then seen turning around to chat to a woman sat behind her. But when Kate realised the camera was on her, she turned to the front and began frantically posing. The clip quickly went viral on social media, with fans expressing their concerns. Watch worrying moment Kate Moss looks 'on edge and frantic' as she poses front row at Paris Fashion Week 4 4
