Over the years, Gemma Chan has been the red carpet for the entire pond. This British-Chinese actress is loved for her sensational style, and her consistency is particularly outstanding: back in the beginning of her career in 2006, Chan was flawless from the start. She graduated from Oxford University with a law degree. In order to pursue acting, she rejected an apprenticeship as a lawyer in a law firm. Roles in iconic British TV shows such as "Doctor Who", "Detective Sherlock" and "IT Crowd" gave way to coveted movie roles in "Fantastic Beasts" and Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruitment. Along the way, Chan closed the red carpet with her flawless charm. But it wasn't until she played the fashion entrepreneur Astrid Leong-Teo in the hit movie "Crazy Rich Asians" in 2018, whose supreme aesthetic was only concealed by her kindness, that global audiences fell in love with the star.

Today, without Chen's charm, the red carpet and fashion show are incomplete. Whether it is wearing a minimalist column dress at the premiere of Marvels Eternals or a choppy architectural Louis Vuitton gown, she is the perfect portrayal. Click to see her evolution with the star-studded red carpet, but please note that she is always ready for the dramatic success in Hollywood.

Chen made a stunning appearance in this Louis Vuitton gown at the premiere of Eternals in October 2021. The cloak is made entirely of feathers, and the delicate lace dress is reminiscent of the gentle spirit of her character Sersi.

At the Paris Fashion Week in October 2021, Chan attended the Louis Vuitton show in costumes from the studio; creative director Nicolas Ghesquière’s all-leather look demonstrates his love for modular geometry.

At the 2021 Met Gala (held in September 2021 due to the pandemic), Chan wore this sculptural bespoke piece designed by Singaporean-American designer Prabal Gurung. The dragon's design originated from Chinese textiles in the Qing Dynasty-its history can be traced back to around 1660s.

As one of Chan's most luxurious looks to date, this sequined Oscar de la Renta dress stopped us during the OSS 117: From Africa With Love screening.

Chan likes Valentino, and during the screening of Les Intranquilles (The Restless) in Cannes, this two-piece set keeps her cool in the hot Italian summer.

Gemma Chan attended the 2019 Met Gala as designer Tom Ford’s date, wearing one of his iconic exquisite columnar dresses. She is an absolute figure on a pink carpet, with a square cloak and a striking silver headpiece, inspired by the headwear worn by Elizabeth Taylor in the 1960s.

Chan wore this eye-catching silver dress designed by Mark Gong to pay tribute to Chinese fashion designers in May 2019.

As this March 2019 photo shows, even her casual style is meticulous. She wears Awake Mode and Adidas sneakers, which bring coolness and comfort.

Another stunning look, this time is Captain Marvel's rainbow-colored Ralph and Lasso, which premiered in Hollywood in March 2019.

Chen continued her love of silver in this Tom Ford dress. Sequins and small handbags dripped at the party after the Vanity Fair Oscars.

There is no doubt that Chen is one of the best dressed people at the Oscars in February 2019; the pink layered dress designed by Valentino is known for its pockets, a detail that every woman on the planet cheers for.

At the ISP awards ceremony in February 2019, Chan wore this two-tone Miu Miu dress suitable for princesses.

Chan likes dramatic trains, as evidenced by this soft pink Oscar de la Renta dress in January 2019.

The mid-length straight dress style was designed for Chan—here, when Crazy Rich Asians won the NBR Film Award, she was wearing Erdem.

This is part of the red carpet moment. Chen's Valentino's gorgeous navy blue halterneck dress is bold and beautiful.

Chan's plaid Prabal Gurung dress is still Crazy Rich Asians' red carpet tour, stylish and fun.

Naturally, the premiere of Mary Queen of Scots in December 2018 needed a dress suitable for the royal family, and Chan nailed it to Miu Miu.

Crazy Rich Asians is a breakthrough for Asian actors, screenwriters and audiences. At the London premiere in September 2018, Chan wore this tulle floral Simone Rocha piece; Rocha is Irish and Chinese.

Astrid himself will love this Art Deco style Oscar de la Renta dress.

Chen likes long-sleeved styles, as seen at the premiere of "Fantastic Beasts" in November 2016.

At the 2016 EE British Film Academy Awards, Chen's red carpet strength gradually emerged, and she was dazzling in this metallic gown.

This photo may be from November 2014, but in this black and blue dress, Chen's style star power is obvious, with lace-up high heels and a small clutch.

In June 2013, Chan was the spokesperson for Investec's Derby Festival. As usual, she dressed as a building fan to host the event.

Chen was impeccable wearing this yellow midi dress at the British Comedy Awards in December 2012.
