The Academy Awards are a symbol of true prestige. Walking the much-anticipated Oscar’s red carpet each year are the stars who have reached the pinnacle of their artistry. As the film industry moves towards embracing diversity and representation, the slate of talent to be celebrated, too, has followed suit. This year has been particularly strong for thriving Asian creatives—from Youn Yuh-jung clinching the award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Minari and Nomadland’s Chloé Zhao taking home the gold for Best Director. In honour of their history-making success, Vogue Singapore spotlights all the Asian celebrities who shone both on and off the 2021 Oscars’ red carpet.
