“It means so much to me to be a part of such an incredible film that will continue to break glass ceilings for Asian representation,” Michelle Yeoh told Vogue following her win at the 2023 GoldenGlobes
on Tuesday evening. The actor won the Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy award for her role as Evelyn Quan Wang in—one of the year’s buzziest films—and her powerful acceptance speech on-stage brought down the house. Yeoh spoke of her long fight to make it in Hollywood as a Malaysian actor, and dedicated her award to “all who came before me who look like me, and all who are going on this journey with us.
The next day, Yeoh expanded further on why the award was so meaningful to her. “Representation is a nonstop battle, but our society continues to evolve and we have to see that reflected on our screens,” she tells. “It means so much to me to be a part of such an incredible film that will continue to break glass ceilings for Asian representation, while also promoting a message of kindness, love and family.
She accessorized the statement piece with diamond jewelry from Moussaieff Jewellers, including a showstopping necklace composed of pear, cushion, and round diamonds. She also wore a bangle made of emeralds, and baguette and round diamonds, as well as a diamond ring. “I love jewelry,” says Yeoh. “We all love jewelry. The pieces were chosen by Alisa Moussaieff, a friend of mine for years. I am always impressed by how classic, timeless and beautiful Moussaieff’s jewelry is.
