This week marked the beginning of the 79th annual Venice International Film Festival and what better way to mark the occasion than with a look back on some of our favourite film star’s best-ever looks. In the past few years, Gemma Chan has swiftly become known for her red carpet style. This year, Chan will be attending the iconic Italian film festival to celebrate the premiere of Don’t Worry Darling. The film, directed by Olivia Wilde, hasn’t been without its off-camera drama, but is sure to bring glamour to the festival with Florence Pugh and Harry Styles both starring alongside Chan.

While we await the premiere, and red carpet delights it promises, let’s take a look back on Chan’s best red carpet moments from 2014 to now.

2014–2016

Early in her career, Chan set a high standard for herself when it came to red carpet looks, experimenting with different styles and silhouettes in neutral tones like black, beige, and silver.

2019

Nobody will ever forget Chan’s hot pink Academy Awards moment, which was way ahead of the Barbiecore trend, or her silver headpiece at the 2019 Met Gala.
