What’s the secret behind this Hollywood legend looking so distinctive? Having a fashion formula that suits her tastes, while taking risks by diving into different colour palettes. Oftentimes wearing a flamboyant designer piece can run the risk of overwhelming an individual, but for Yeoh, it makes her shine and especially due to the styling.

Black
At the recent Balenciaga Couture autumn-winter 2022 show, Yeoh looked ultra-chic in an all-black ensemble from the fashion house. Despite black being a dark colour that can look flat, the silky fabric reflected light and added depth.
The pussy bow blouse added volume up top, the sleek skirt highlighted Yeoh’s figure, and the knife-point shoes cut through the bottom. For accessories, Yeoh aptly went minimal with waterfall earrings and sleek hair, both of which framed her face and kept the focus on the clothes.
