“I’ve learned thatfans crave that red carpet moment,” she told PEOPLE in her recent cover story. “I think that’s part and parcel of what we do, is we created this magical movie or world for them, so this is an extension of that. And to be shown these amazing — almost like art — all these amazing designers to start off with, and then all the haute couture.”
She’s also learned what doesn’t work: “At the end of the day, I know who I am. You can’t let the dress wear you and you can’t be walking around going, ‘I’m so uncomfortable. I can’t breathe.’ And you are expected to sit there for three hours and you’re like, ‘I’m going to die. And I can’t go to the bathroom.'”
Yeoh is game to play with fashion, whether it’s trying something unexpected (like an Off-White shorts suit) for a tea, or to let stylists at photo shoots dress her in outfits outside of her comfort zone. “I can go absolutely wild and say, ‘Yeah, bring on the crazy!’ Things that I wouldn’t normally wear.”

Of her favorite recent looks, she brings upwhat she wore to the Golden Globes: “The Armani Privé is so Armani, but it’s all the hair and the whole thing. And Armani has always been one of my favorites to go to anyway.”

To contrast the playfulness of her dress, Yeoh wore her hair in a “sculptural pony,” her hairstylist Mara Roszak wrote onInstagram. The actress’ look was completed with Moussaieff high jewelry, including chandelier earrings, and black Christian Louboutin heels.
“They’re so out there and it’s so flamboyant,” Yeoh told PEOPLE of Schiaparelli. “You also must think about the event that you’re going to. I tend to be a little low-key, so I dare not be The One. And then of course my stylist Jordan will go, ‘No, you have to look special. Go out there, so then you know you can wow them.'”
“And I say, ‘Okay.'”
