Awkwafina On The Red Carpet: The Best Looks From The Star Of The Farewell
Never mind demure ingénue, Awkwafina is better described as a trailblazing maverick. Before she skyrocketed to major fame with her show-stealing role as Goh Peik Lin in Crazy Rich Asians, the actress slash comedian slash musician was best known for her audacious and salacious rap number My V*g, which she created in response to the notoriously misogynistic song of a similar name by Mickey Avalon (it also got her fired from her job as a publicity assistant). Years later, the multi-hyphenate is still pushing limits and breaking boundaries, most notably the first woman of Asian descent to ever win a Golden Globe in the lead actress category. And her style is just as daring as her personality, always keeping us guessing as she moves effortlessly from brightly-coloured power suits to elegant evening gowns to jeans and a t-shirt and back again in a snap. Seeing as Awkwafina – whose real name is Nora Lum – is only going to be a red carpet fixture from now on, what with her star turn in The Farewell and the upcoming Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, we thought it was about time we took a look back on some of her best fashion moments.
