2019: Gemma Chan
Known for her role in Crazy Rich Asians, Gemma Chan certainly knows how to look chic. When she graced the red carpet at the 2019 Oscars, her dress became the center of attention. Her outfit was a hot pink number made by fashion brand Valentino as part of its Spring Haute Couture that was showcased in January of that year. It was shaped like a parachute at the base and was quite voluminous. In addition, it featured a ruffled high collar, which gave off a vibe of royalty to a degree.
The gown wowed many when it first appeared. It really stood out, thanks to its vibrant color, which contrasted with the neutral shades most commonly seen among Oscar attires. When Chan wore it, she certainly became the star of the occasion that day.
