The annual Cannes amfAR gala was last night and it was a fashion parade, as usual. But the only look I care about isn’t clothing, it’s jewellery. With the clothing chosen to complement the jewels. And if we’re talking about celebrities and jewels, well, Michelle Yeoh is the main character.
Her personal jewellery collection at this is point is legendary, which we talked about a lot during the Crazy Rich Asians run because one of the pieces that her character, Eleanor, wore in the film is iconic and it’s hers. That emerald ring, remember? Also her own watch collection is bonkers.
With that in mind, her outfit last night was basically… NECKLACE.
It’s not just about the fashion—it’s about the passion! Thank you @michelleyeoh_official for helping us raise awareness and support the incredible search at this year’s #amfARCannes

Zoom on that sh-t if you can. Because this necklace is demented. Like actually insane. And I’m not usually a jewels person, I barely notice them most of the time, but how can you not notice ONLY this f-cking bitch around her neck? She is the c-ntiest queen of them all. Those diamonds are ENORMOUS and PURPLE but there are also emeralds all up in this business and all of them are hanging out with pearls and somehow it’s too much but not too much, you know? If there’s anyone who knows how to wear this much ice tastefully, it’s Michelle Yeoh, goddammit.
So the dress obviously was chosen to showcase this piece. But note, too, that the bottom of the dress is a perfect companion to the necklace the way it flares. Then of course that f-cking watch worn over the sleeve… I can’t. Nobody does RICH like Michelle Yeoh. You know what rich is? Rich is wearing a necklace that expensive and still being able to dance like you’re not worried about it.

In other rich news, it’s the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend and while Lewis Hamilton’s F1 season so far is a nothingburger, his fashion is always a champion. And we have two looks to thirst over.
First…this sweater. Custom Dior. Custom Dior for one walk on Thursday is a FLEX.
Dynamic contours.

But I’m not even giving you the money shot. This is the money shot. Like, if we’re just waiting for next year when he switches over to Ferrari, then at least he’s serving us the fashion show. And his chest.
So that was yesterday. Today? Only Lewis Hamilton shows up in the paddock in shimmering, fringey Stella McCartney, LOL. Pretty sure Stella didn’t have the paddock in mind when she designed it but Lewis has been breaking barriers his whole career, and who says the paddock can’t be a runway.
