Michelle Yeoh Stuns in Armani Privé and Jimmy Choo at the Golden Globes — A Triumph 40 Years in the Making

After nearly four decades of breaking bones—and barriers—on screen, Michelle Yeoh finally took home her first Golden Globe Award at age 60, a long-overdue triumph for one of cinema’s most fearless women.

Standing 5 ft 3½ in (161.3 cm) tall and wearing a U.S. size 5, Yeoh has spent her career proving that stature has nothing to do with strength.

The former Bond girl and Crouching Tiger legend has long been celebrated for doing her own stunts, gliding through fight sequences, and couture with equal grace. So when she tells an orchestra to “shut up” mid-acceptance speech, the world listens—and cheers.

Golden Globes Moment: When Michelle Yeoh Stole the Room

Such was the case at the 80th Annual Golden Globe Awards when the music started playing as she tried to finish her emotional acceptance speech. She paused amid it, told the orchestra to “shut up, please,” and jokingly added, “I can beat you up.”

The School for Good and Evil actress won in the category for Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical, or Comedy for her phenomenal performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once.

“I’m just gonna stand here and take this all in,” Michelle Yeoh said as she held onto her gold statue. “40 years… Not letting go of this.”

Multiverse Style: How Michelle Yeoh’s Shoes Tell the Story in Everything Everywhere All at Once

Yeoh delivered a career-defining performance as Evelyn Wang, slipping through multiple realities in Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)—a visual feast that earned costume designer Shirley Kurata an Oscar nomination.

The film’s fashion and footwear evolve with each universe: orthopedic sneakers grounding Evelyn’s weary everymom reality, glossy kung fu slippers flashing under emerald silk in her martial-arts world, and even plush raccoon slippers in the movie’s most surreal sequence.

Each pair helps chart Evelyn’s transformation—from defeat to empowerment to transcendence—proving that in this multiverse, the shoes don’t just complete the outfit, they complete the character.

The Gift of Everything Everywhere All at Once

“It’s been an amazing journey and an incredible fight to be here today,” Yeoh reflected. “But it’s been worth it.”

She recalled arriving in Hollywood decades ago and being told she was “a minority.” Despite a celebrated filmography and acclaimed directors championing her talent, meaningful roles became harder to find as she got older.

Then came Everything Everywhere All at Once — a project she calls “a gift.”

“Thank you to A24 and the two wonderfully goofy geniuses, Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, for writing about an ordinary immigrant woman,” she said, honoring the film’s heart. “No matter the universe, she was fighting for love and for her family.”

Yeoh also praised her co-stars, including Best Supporting Actor winner Ke Huy Quan, and closed with grace: “This is for all the shoulders I stand on, for everyone who came before me and everyone continuing this journey forward.”
