Gemma Chan's star is rising ever higher thanks to her turns in Crazy Rich Asians, Mary Queen of Scots, and Captain Marvel, but we've long been a fan of the British-Chinese actress, going right back to her TV days in Secret Diary of a Call Girl and Fresh Meat. The Humans star has been hitting the high notes with her fashion choices for many years, too, and her outfits just keeping getting better. Whether she's wowing in attention-grabbing pants and jumpsuits, or getting everyone talking in her bold dresses, Gemma is certainly happy to take sartorial chances.
With the help of stylist Rebecca Corbin-Murray, Gemma has been using her wardrobe to "reflect the values" of Crazy Rich Asians, choosing pieces in the "spirit of diversity and inclusivity". She explained to Vogue she wanted to "put a spotlight on Asian creativity." She also champions many British brands, too, often being seen in Burberry and Jimmy Choos. Gemma's kept the interesting looks coming year after year, showing a love of sparkle, ruffles, and above all else, prints — particularly from London-based designer Mary Katrantzou. Ahead, take a look at Gemma's best fashion moments over the years. We've got a feeling there'll be many more to come.
