Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh has once again bagged a prestigious international award following her two major wins last month.
Reuters reported today that the 60-year-old from Ipoh, Perak won the Screen Actors Guild Awards 2023 for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role at the awards in Los Angeles, making her the first Asian actress to bag the title.
Yeoh won for ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’. It is her third win this year after winning Best Actress at the National Board Review Awards and the Golden Globe Awards.
The other nominees for the category were Cate Blanchett (Tar), Viola Davis (The Woman King), Ana De Armas (Blonde) and Danielle Deadwyler (Till).
Yeoh appeared on the red carpet in a Schiaparelli Haute Couture black gown with yellow sequined fringes running down the length of the dress.
While many fans took to social media to congratulate Yeoh’s big win, some poked fun at her dress by comparing it to French fries and shredded paper.
Yeoh is also nominated for Best Actress at this year’s Academy Awards next month.
