Her hit romantic comedy-drama was snubbed by the Oscars, when the shortlists were announced without a single nomination for Crazy Rich Asians.
But Gemma Chan ensured she didn’t go unnoticed as she arrived at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood on Sunday, clad in a sensational neon pink Valentino Haute Couture gown for the 91st Academy Awards.
The actress, 36, didn’t hold back with her outfit choice, sporting an incredibly vibrant fuchsia gown, with parachute-style ruffles and a statement neckline.
Wow! Gemma Chan, 36, ensured she didn’t go unnoticed as she arrived at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood on Sunday, clad in a sensational neon pink gown for the 91st Academy Awards
The bold frock, which swamped her slight frame, featured a voluminous train which dragged along the red carpet behind her.
Gemma made sure to show off the bold dress’ discrete front pocket, as she posed with her left hand tucked inside.

Gemma’s eye-catching look, which mirrored the high-fashion style of the film, was accessorised with a pair of 2D chandelier earrings and a sparkling bracelet.
Other than her choice of simple accessories, the actress let the dress do the talking, with her dark brunette locks styled into a chic, dishevelled bun at the nape of her neck.
Her natural beauty was enhanced with a flawless make-up base, a thick application of black eye-liner and a dark pink lip.

It’s been a good 12 months for Gemma who starred in the Box Office smash hit Crazy Rich Asians and moved in with hunky Dominic.
Gemma found herself thrown even further into the spotlight, after starring in the film, released last year. The high grossing film has made $235million to date and is the first blockbuster in 25 years to feature an all-Asian cast.
Although, she previously admitted she was reluctant to take part in the movie at first.

Gemma revealed: ‘I was immediately a bit suspicious of the title, thinking, “Oh god, there’ll be all these gross stereotypes.”‘
But a year after ‘falling in love with the characters’, she was offered the script and role of the main character Rachel, which she declined for the role of Astrid – a wealthy woman struggling in marriage to a man who she supports financially.
‘I felt so strongly that I wanted to go for this part. I thought it was a really interesting opportunity to explore that dynamic between a couple’, she explained.

‘It’s not that unusual, nowadays, that a man isn’t the main breadwinner or the most successful in a partnership.’
Speaking of the movie, Gemma added: ‘Even five years ago, the idea that a studio would bet on a cast of not-huge all-Asian actors… I don’t know if they would have taken that risk. But I think it does pay off at the box office.’
‘I felt really emotional watching it, seeing faces that looked like my family and my grandparents, and I get messages daily from people all over the world, telling me how much it means to them,’ she claimed.
