9 times Gemma Chan delivered heavenly looks

A literal angel

We think it is a universally acknowledged truth that Gemma Chan is a beautiful angel of a human being.

Whether she’s walking the red carpet, delighting us on-screen or throwing shapes in a photo shoot, the L’Oreal ambassador always displays a gentle and refined grace that’s refreshing to say the least.

Now that the 38-year-old is playing a literal demi-god in Marvel Studios Eternals, we think it’s only fair we worship Chan in all her poised, elegant glory.

Here are some of the Crazy Rich Asians star’s best beauty moments so far...

Without a doubt, Chan is one of our favourite celebs to see rock a red lip. She switched things up with a glimmer of under eye jewels that subtly caught the light as she posed for paparazzi on the Cannes red carpet.

When Chan showed up to the 2019 Met Gala decked out in an angelic head piece, gunmetal grey eyeshadow and toting Tom Ford like the latest fashion accessory, we died and went to heaven. Literally deceased. R.I.P us.

Purple eyeshadow looks great on everyone but when Chan does it, it feels like we’re being reintroduced and falling in love with the lilac-hued trend all over again.

From her rosy-hued lip colour to her mauve-toned eye makeup, this spring garden themed look is only made all that more lovely with Chan’s subtle curls and pearl-beaded hair accessories. It’s a *chef’s kiss* from us.

The Eternals star may have a glorious bronze smokey eye going on in this pic but it’s her lengthy ribbon-laden braid that has us doing a double take.

4 September 2018

Here comes Chan flooring us with a red lip yet again. This time the Humans actor has matched her deep red lips to the ruby-hued gems adorning her embroidered outfit – this is how to pull off a monochromatic head-to-toe moment.

We’re obsessed with this lightly waved hair on Chan. The actress has accented her blow dry with a pop of pinky-nude lipstick and a subtle smokey eye.

We’d sacrifice our first born child if it meant our hair could look this healthy and thick all the time (we kid, we kid). Chan’s subtle ombre ends and nutmeg lipstick add the perfect amount of warmth to an otherwise subtle red carpet moment. Stunning.

Yes, this is the third red lip on our list, and no, we’re not apologising for it. Chan has matched her classic lip look with some ‘20s inspired flapper waves and a light amount of kohl liner rimming her deep brown almond eyes.

Gemma Chan’s not the only celeb rocking beauty looks worth immortalising. Here are 11 times Gigi Hadid looked like an absolute goddess.

Since then, her keen interest in fashion and beauty has landed her gigs as a Digital Content Producer and Beauty Editor with titles like Girlfriend, Refinery29, BEAUTYcrew and beautyheaven. She loves the way seemingly innocuous topics like skin care and style have the ability to put a smile on people’s faces or make them think about themselves a little differently. A big believer in self love and experimentation, Briar has made a point of becoming the Australian beauty industry’s unofficial guinea pig for unusual treatments and daring hair trends. When she’s not testing out the latest beauty launches, Briar is big on broadening her horizons, mostly in the form of food but she’s also partial to travelling to new destinations both near and far (and of course, allocating an extra bag to bring their best beauty offerings home with her).
