The premieres and events across multiple days have been awash with chic outfits, standout accessories and, of course, international talent galore. We spotlight the Asian celebrities—including actors, directors and influencers—who stepped out in strong looks, from classic ensembles to experimental styling, that stood out on the red carpet.

Chinese actress and jury member Zhang Ziyi took notes from gothic dressing and opted for a black velvet jumpsuit from the Armani Privé fall-winter 24 couture collection.

Influencer Rahi Chadda took “wearing the pants” to the next level with this tailored Jacquemus ensemble from its 15th-anniversary collection. The sleeves of his top emulate the feel of the legs of the trousers, resulting in an optical illusion that makes it look like he’s wearing a fabulous pair of never-ending bottoms.

Model and actress Jung Ho-yeon went for a classic yet elevated red carpet look with this black velvet gown from Louis Vuitton. The cutout panels on the bodice created a simple yet striking focal point of the dress that juxtaposed well with the sheer mesh, and the low ponytail and red lipstick were minimalistic yet bold styling choices to complement the look.
