Michelle Yeohis everywhere, including theMet Gala!
Her elegant dress had many intricate details, including the under layer, which featured a button-up silhouette, portrait collared neckline and billowy organza sleeves. Her skirt was more so a long belted train secured over the white one-piece.
The outfit was amped up with platform leather boots adorned with a buckle detail.

Known for her classic beauty, the actress kept her hair and makeup simple, opting to wear a low-hung bun, subtly smudged wing and a glossy light pink lip.
Yeoh’s return to the high-profile event — themed “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” this year in honor of the awe-inspiring 60-year career belonging to the eponymous late fashion designer — comes only one year after her last.
Last May, she made a grand entrance in asea-green Prabal Garung mermaid gownwith a show-stopping cape. A knockout Tasaki necklace complemented the off-the-shoulder cut of the dress while Mimi So jewels and Cartier bling added extra gleam.
That year she wore her long hair down and chose to complete the simple hairdo with a bright red lipstick.

“A lot of actresses find, as the numbers get bigger, the roles start to dwindle,” she told PEOPLE in herMarch cover story. “Over the last few years, I’m very proud that we have been breaking away from stereotypes — it’s not just lip service. It is happening. And it’s happening to me.”

Yeoh has also been curating aroster of show-stopping red carpet looksalong the way — and she takes it quite seriously.
“I’ve learned that fans crave that red carpet moment,” she shared. “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.'”
