Gemma Chan's Oscars Gown Was Stuffed With Cookies — Because the Oscars Are LONG

Mar 3 2019 - 10:00am

Crazy Rich Asians star Gemma Chan turned heads at the Oscars on Sunday when she graced the red carpet in a ruffled pink Valentino gown [1]. But the best part of Gemma's dress? It had hidden pockets [2], and those pockets had secrets in them — snack secrets. In a post-show interview with Entertainment Tonight, the 36-year-old actress revealed that she had stuffed one pocket of her gorgeous Valentino gown with cookies and the other with rice cakes to curb hunger pangs during the three-hour show. "It's a long ceremony . . . you don't get dinner," she explained. To prove it, Gemma reached into her pocket and pulled out a giant chocolate chip cookie. What. A. Legend.

The parachute-like Valentino gown featured a ruffled high-neck collar and a matching train. Gemma paired the dress with soft pink makeup and two rhinestone barrettes [3] in the shape of a half moon and the word "love." As if her upcoming role [4] in Captain Marvel wasn't enough to get excited about, Gemma's incredible sense of style and innovative snack hacks make her even more of an icon.
