While all of those answers are great, there’s one person who should definitely come to mind — actor, writer, activist, and Marvel superhero Gemma Chan.
You might know her as Sersi from Eternals or Astrid Leong-Teo from Crazy Rich Asians, but you should definitely recognize her from her iconic sense of style — both on the red carpet and off.
