For the event, Chan went all out in a super eye-catching outfit—black all the way—picked from Khaite's new Spring collection. The look paired a sharp tailored jacket cut short with a big organza skirt. The result made the bold look both modern and dramatic all at once. The actress looked relaxed while her team was getting her ready for the event.

Chan said,

"I love this look by Khaite, which I chose with my stylist, Rebecca Corbin-Murray."

While Khaite is known for its sleek, polished designs, this particular ensemble had a more directional aesthetic, setting it apart from Chan's usual red-carpet choices.

Chan's makeup crew created a glamorous, effortlessly chic style that complemented her outfit well. Makeup artist Daniel Martin crafted a smoky eye with a shimmery finish, balanced by soft, nude lips. Hair stylist Ben Skervin kept a relaxed look with tousled waves.

The actress said,

"Hairstylist Ben Skervin kept my hair sleek with a bit of texture."

She added,

"Makeup artist Daniel Martin gave me a soft smoky eye and glowing skin."

Gemma Chan adorned herself with Cartier jewelry, selecting elegant earrings and Juste Un Clou rings that exuded understated luxury. She carried the black clutch from Khaite and black leather pumps by Gianvito Rossi. About choosing the accessories, she said,

"I chose these beautiful but simple earrings and Juste Un Clou rings by Cartier, a black clutch by Khaite, and black leather pumps by Gianvito Rossi to complete the look."

Gemma Chan reveals that The Actor is special to her. Her Instagram caption read:

"#TheActor premiere, New York. This film holds a special place in my heart. It opens in selected theatres March 14th."

The premiere was held at Village East to raise a toast to the film directed by Duke Johnson and executive produced by Charlie Kaufman. Chan's presence at the premiere and her fashion choices added an extra layer of glamour to the event.


With her ability to transition between blockbuster hits and indie films, Gemma Chan continues to captivate audiences on-screen and on the red carpet. Her latest look cements her status as an icon at styling.
