Whether attending the Met Gala or the premiere of her latest film, Michelle Yeoh has been a fashion icon for over two decades. One of the greatest action heroines on the silver screen, Yeoh first rose to fame starring in 1980s Hong Kong action films in which she performed her own stunts even though she wasn’t professionally trained in martial arts. Once she moved to the United States, she gained international star status as a Bond Girl in the 1997 James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies and in Ang Lee’s martial arts film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
2023 has been a busy year for Yeoh; her leading role in Everything Everywhere All at Once won her an Academy Award, becoming the first Asian woman to win the award in the “Big Five” category and the first Malaysian to win an Oscar in any category. On July 27, the actress confirmed on Instagram that she tied the knot to former FIA President and Scuderia Ferrari Formula 1 team principal Jean Todt in an intimate courthouse ceremony in Geneva, Switzerland after being engaged for 19 years.
Regardless of where the next decade may take her, CR is celebrating the star’s 61st birthday by taking a look at her most glamorous red carpet moments, from her first American film premiere to her recent Oscar win.
