Michelle Yeoh made an elegant appearance at a Cartier dinner yesterday in Hong Kong.

The “Everything Everywhere All at Once” actress was outfitted in a maxi-length formal gown that gave major Audrey Hepburn vibes made of a vaguely shiny jet-black material featuring a structured strappy bodice, ultra-feminine bow detailing around the waist and an A-line skirt. The hem of Yeoh’s gown was trimmed with dainty black lace.

On the accessories front, the “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” star sported extravagant jewelry, most likely from Cartier, comprised of a diamond-encrusted bracelet, dangling silver earrings and an eye-catching statement necklace encrusted with deep blue gemstones. Yeoh’s hair was worn in a deep side part and styled in cascading waves.

On her feet, Yeoh opted for a sharp pair of black pointed-toe pumps that made her look fully monochrome. The pair were constructed of black uppers and featured thin heels, around 3 to 4 inches, dagger-like triangular toes and a sturdy construction. The footwear is commonplace for many celebrities, Yeoh included.
