Gemma Chan walked for L'Oréal Paris in 2022. Now she's attending the Calvin Klein Collection Spring 2027 show at New York Fashion Week.

Nineties minimalism inspires her

Chan loves the American minimalism of the 1990s, exemplified by Carolyn Bessette's style. She keeps things simple day-to-day but goes all out on red carpets.

“My day-to-day style is quite low-key, unfussy, and quite easy. But when it comes to dressing for work, events, and red carpets, I like to up the glamour and the drama.”

Kate Moss shaped her taste

Growing up, Chan was obsessed with CK One fragrance and Kate Moss campaigns. Christy Turlington's Eternity ads captured the elegant, minimal luxury she aspired to.

“I was obsessed with CK One. I wore that all the time throughout my teenage years, that was my go-to fragrance.”

Unexpected textures catch her eye

Chan recently wore a Noemi Dress by Veronica Leoni. She loved the unusual texture and unexpected materials paired with a simple, clean silhouette.

Calvin Klein made her custom

Leoni is bringing fresh, modern edge to Calvin Klein's DNA. The brand created a custom gown for Chan's Josephine premiere in Toronto.

Josephine wins at Sundance

Chan stars with Channing Tatum in the devastating drama about parents helping their daughter after she witnesses a crime. It won both Grand Jury and Audience Awards.

“It's really a small miracle that the film got made at all.”

A busy fall of releases

Josephine hits theaters in November. Chan also stars in Hello in Paris alongside Javier Bardem and Kate Hudson this fall.

Women's stories without murder

The Five Star Weekend centered five women's lives and relationships with no crime to solve. Chan loved working with her castmates on the special summer hit.

“It felt such a special thing to have a story that's centered around five women and their lives and there's no murder to solve.”

The key point

Gemma Chan balances minimalist daily style with glamorous red carpet looks, drawing inspiration from 1990s American fashion icons.
