5 times Gemma Chan seriously inspired our wardrobes
She has a law degree from Oxford, a starring role in the blockbuster Crazy Rich Asians, and was named as one of Variety magazine’s top 10 actors to watch. She also happens to be one of our major style crushes; Gemma Chan, we’re talking about you.
The 38-year-old British-Chinese actress (38?! Skincare secrets, please!) has taken Hollywood by storm since her 2017 role in Transformers: The Last Knight.
Adding Mary Queen of Scots and Captain Marvel to her growing resume, which, alongside Crazy Rich Asians, is giving her bonafide Hollywood it-girl cred, Chan is challenging mainstream casting roles (read: white) when it comes to blockbuster films.
We’re also a *wee bit* obsessed with her classy sense of style. From the fuschia Valentino gown she wore to the Oscars to the sequin pastel Miu Miu number she had on at the Spirit Awards, Gemma’s wardrobe is nearly as notable as her acting career.
So enough just talking about Gemma Chan, shall we get to stealing her style already? Five looks, five steals. Ready, set, go!
