Some time ago, Ubita took stock of Angelina Jolie's red carpet outfit when promoting the Marvel movie "Eternals", which is called a variety of styles, and each set is beautiful.
But I found out that there was an actress in this movie, and Angelina Joliebi, who didn't lose at all. Dressed not only boldly, but also mysteriously dramatic.
Like this Zuhair Murad hooded dress worn at the London premiere, it made her look like a witch with boundless magic.
There is also a very powerful vest line hidden around the waist, not angry.
At the Rome Film Festival, this bespoke dress from Korean designer brand Miss Sohee was the most beautiful I found.
If the black velvet is a deep night, then the densely dotted Swarovski crystals on it are brilliant galaxies, mysterious and noble. It's like coming out of a mythological film.

Remember the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2022 collection that Irving praised fiercely? I thought there was a very fairy and beautiful feather cape on the show, which was very suitable for Di Lieba.
Unexpectedly, just a few days after the show, the actress had already put it on, the real top female star treatment.
Although the word of mouth after the release of "Eternals" was a big hit, people who watched the movie remembered this special Asian face, she is the British Chinese actress Gemma Chan. She is also the first Asian female protagonist in the Marvel Universe.
Not only was the red carpet wonderful, this year Gemma Chan also received the supreme treatment of the fashion circle, wearing a gold sequin skirt designed by Chinese designer Huishan Zhang, and appeared on the golden nine cover of the British version of "Vogue"!
Who would have thought that just a few days after the cover of this issue appeared on the street, the Singapore version of Vogue announced: The cover girl of the November/December issue is still Gemma Chan!
Worthy of becoming the first Asian heroine of the Marvel Universe, Sister Chen, a black dress with beads and black all-inclusive eyeliner, elegant and calm at the same time without losing the aura of a superhero.
Don't look at Gemma Chan's scenery now, but her path as an actor is actually not smooth. Showbiz is happy to package stories of young fame, and everyone likes to promote titles such as "youngest actress" and "youngest actress", but she takes a very different path.
An Oxford senior student who gave up his position in the law firm
Gemma Chan is 39 years old, and she is not young by the measures of show business. From a small actor with only one line to the heroine of a Marvel blockbuster, she has walked this road for more than ten years.
Many people may have known her since "Picking Gold", she played a top celebrity with elegant intellect, but in real life, her origin is much more ordinary.
Their parents were immigrants of a generation of Chinese descent, and they also emphasized the role of hard work through education.

Gemma Chan also grew into "someone else's child" without any accident under such words and examples, with excellent grades, excellent violin playing level, and even swimming is enough to participate in national competitions.
After entering the law department of Oxford University, she also successfully obtained a letter of appointment from Slaughter and May, one of the five major law firms in the United Kingdom.
Just as this great future was placed on a silver tray and handed to her, the well-behaved woman made the first rebellious act in her life: she was determined to refuse a job at a law firm, go to drama school, and become an actress after graduation.
This incident was nothing less than a thunderclap for Gemma Chan's parents, who never imagined that their daughter, who usually made them proud, would do such an "irresponsible" thing.
Gemma Chan's dad even excitedly pointed to the TV at home and said to her, "Do you look at anyone on this screen who looks like you?" This concern is not superfluous, and it is true that there were hardly any Asian actors in british show business more than a decade ago.
Giving up a visible and tangible career as a lawyer in favor of pursuing a nihilistic acting career is indeed an incomprehensible choice for the elders who have worked hard all their lives with their heads bowed.
Gemma Chan reflects on the experience years later and says, "I almost became a miserable lawyer. Being able to have the opportunity to try is a blessing in itself, and I'd rather try it, even if it doesn't matter if I fail in the end. After all, disappointment is temporary, but regret is permanent. ”
The most eye-catching soy sauce girl
After making up your mind to become an actor, the toughest trials have just begun.
Oxford's aura was completely ineffective in show business, and the only mark she left on her by her experience in law school was her super memory. After all, Gemma Chan used to be familiar with 2,000 cases, and this memory could not have been easier to memorize lines.
At first, she could only start from the small supporting roles in the side roles, with only one or two lines, and sometimes there was not even a decent role name.
From the Heavenly Woman to the Passerby A, this gap also made her sleepless night after night, lying in bed thinking: "Did I make a wrong decision?" Am I destined to disappoint my parents? What can I do to make my career better? ”
The only thing she can do is play every role she gets.
Whether it is Mia Bennett in "Doctor Who" or Yao Sulin in "Sherlock", she does not have many scenes every time, but she always has memory points.
The role span is also very large, she even played an SM queen in the British drama "The Secret Diary of a Call Girl", and if she didn't understand it, she asked, how can she even wear a sense of awe-inspiring and inviolable high-class clothes?!
The real career began to take off, and it began with "Real Humans". This is her first time playing a leading role in a hit TV series, and she plays Mia, a self-aware robot.
When the TV series was broadcast, there were even passers-by who wanted to find the switch on gemma Chan when they met her to see if she was really a robot!
In the "Picking Gold" that made her popular all over the world, although Astrid played by Gemma Chan was a supporting role, she took the script of the shuangwen heroine. Not only is the makeup and hair style elegant and impeccable, but also knows how to stop losses in time in the relationship and get out freely.
The passage from leaving the incompetent husband is worth reciting in full by young girls!
In 2019, she was given the opportunity to join the Marvel Universe for the first time.
In "Captain Marvel", her role of Minerva had to paint a blue special effects makeup every time she was on camera, and it took more than 4 hours to make up at a time.
So during the filming of the film, she got up at two o'clock in the morning every day to put on makeup, while other actors could sleep at least until 7 o'clock before starting work.
But even so, she never complained, and Jude Law in the same group even learned during the promotion of the movie that Gemma Chan had to sacrifice more than 4 hours of sleep every day than him...
It may also be this dedication that allowed her to finally get the role in "Eternals" and become the first Asian heroine in the Marvel Universe.
Free spokesperson for Asian designers
Although she did not choose to become a lawyer in the end, her experience studying in Oxford made Gemma Chan a special presence in the show business.
When she shoots makeup tutorials, she can talk about racial equality from the diversity of color numbers, and when she talks about skin care experience, she can also criticize the ads that create facial anxiety. She knows how to use her influence to convey important messages, and her ideological awareness is on the verge of extinction.
As a rare Asian actress in Hollywood, she also quite naturally took on the important task of spreading Asian culture. She often chooses works by Asian designers on major occasions and volunteers to cheer for them.
At the British Fashion Awards at the beginning of the month, she wore a delicate dress dress of the Chinese designer brand Shushu/Tong, and she did not expect that such a girly brand Chen Jie would not violate it, and even added a little nobility.
The most touching thing is that she also posted on Instagram about Shushu/Tong's brand background, which is equivalent to sending a wave of promotions worth millions for free.
Looking at her usual outfits, PH5's knitted skirt, Yuhan Wang's suit, she almost supports the work of Asian designers at every opportunity.
At this year's Met Gala, she also paid tribute to Huang Liushuang, the first Chinese Hollywood actress in history, with the work of Asian designer Prabal Gurung.
When filming Vogue's famous flip bag column, she was also wearing a white Chinese coat from Chinese designer Samuel Guì Yang, and the elegant oriental charm very much set off her temperament.
Of course, the things that came out of the bag still have her style: a big white rabbit milk candy and an eye massager that looks very wrong...
Many people don't know that in the early years, because the income of being an actor was not enough to support herself, Gemma Chan used to work part-time as a model for a long time.
Rich modeling experience, 175's proud body, coupled with her generous self-confidence, she has always been on the red carpet to challenge and tame difficult skirts.
The sequined skirt of the "Suspected Milky Way Falling Nine Days" type was only fairy and not tacky on her.
The intricate floral skirt of the "random flowers gradually want to charm the eyes" also makes her perform gently and atmosphericly.
But Yu Bo's favorite is the Valentino pink dress she wore when she participated in the Oscars in 2019. That's right, even this death Barbie fan Gemma Chan has been held by strength...
Most dramatically, she also took a biscuit out of her skirt pocket and triumphantly told reporters that because the award ceremony was too long, she was afraid that she would be hungry, so she hid some rations in her pocket.
Beautiful female stars in front of people, hungry primary school students after people, Yu Bo really has not seen such an affordable red carpet speech for a long time...
When Gemma Chan decided to give up her career as a lawyer, she probably couldn't imagine the impact of that decision.
Her story has been interpreted in many ways: she makes Asian girls fantasize about being superheroes; she makes people no longer afraid of sudden career shifts; she proves that fame doesn't have to be early, and people who become late can shine just as brightly.
When asked by a reporter what it was like to become famous, she replied only half-jokingly: "The feeling is: My parents finally don't think I've gone astray anymore." ”
