KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 23 — The usually-stylish Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh seemed to have fallen short of picking the right dress for the Screen Actors Guild Awards 2023 today.
While many fans took to social media to congratulate Yeoh’s big win for the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role award, some poked fun at her dress by comparing it to French fries and shredded paper.
Yeoh appeared on the red carpet in a Schiaparelli Haute Couture black one-shoulder gown with yellow sequined fringe running down the length of the dress.
The dress, however, looked as though it had pieces of shredded paper superglued to the front of it.

Social media users were quick to repost her photos online and tease her with various comparisons.
“I love Michelle Yeoh and I’m glad she won her SAG award but perhaps when she goes to the Oscars, she should not wear a dress made largely of French fries,” wrote a user.
“OMG Michelle Yeoh’s crinkle cut fry dress is messing up her speech,” wrote another user.
Some also compared the tallow sequinned fringe with shredded papers being glued to the dress.
“Michelle Yeoh’s dress must have been on sale at office depot. A chic way to recycle shredded paper,” wrote a Twitter user.
Yeoh today became the first Asian to win Best Actress at the SAG awards for her role in Everything Everywhere All at Once.
Yeoh will also be taking her shot at the Oscars for Best Actress next month.
