Yeoh’s dress was designed to mimic a traditional button-down shirt and had a matching skirt underneath.
The dress’s slightly puffy sleeves were cropped at her elbows, and she paired the look with shiny black thigh-high boots.
Her slim waist was accentuated with a black belt with a silver flower-shaped buckle.
Last month, the promotional campaign for the upcoming Disney+ series kicked off with the release of the first full trailer.
The adaptation of Gene Luen Yang’s 2006 award-winning graphic novel of the same name brought Michelle, Ke and Stephanie Hsu back together.
The story follows Jin Wang (Ben Wang), a child of Chinese immigrants who is seemingly a normal high school student struggling with his school and family life.
But it comes to light that things are far from normal soon after he is introduced to a new Chinese exchange student and asked to play the role of the newcomer’s chaperone.
Their meeting leads to a chain of events that plunges Jim into a battle between gods from Chinese mythology.

Michelle pulled her shiny, long, raven-black locks into a simple ponytail, keeping the focus on her fashion.
She skipped earrings and a necklace, instead sporting a black watch and a single understated ring.
The Malaysian-born entertainer rocked a pearly, almond-shaped manicure for the star-studded affair.
And she looked radiant with a full face of soft, flattering makeup that brought out her beauty.
Her cheeks were dusted with a matte pink blush to match her moisturizing lip stain.
Ke’s dark hair was styled in a straight mushroom cut and he wore shiny black dress shoes with his suit.
This series is the story of a young man’s struggle for his own identity, told through family, comedy and action-packed Kung-Fu.
Along with Yeoh, Quan and Hsu, the cast also includes Yeo Yann Yann, Chin Han, Sydney Taylor, Hong Huifang, Poppy Liu, Ronny Chieng, Rosalie Chiang, James Hong, Lisa Lu, Jimmy O. Yang and Leonard Wu.
Following its world premiere at South By Southwest on March 15, all eight episodes of American Born Chinese will premiere on Disney+ on May 24.

Yeoh previously worked with the show’s co-director Destin Daniel Cretton as part of the cast of Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings.
Lucy Liu is also a director on the eight-episode series.
Yeoh, Quan and Hsu were all nominated for Oscars for their roles in Everything Everywhere All At Once at the 95th Academy Awards, which took place on March 12.
The absurdist comedy-drama film won 7 of its 11 Oscar nominations, including Best Actress for Yeoh, Best Supporting Actor for Quan, Best Supporting Actress for Jamie Lee Curtis, along with Best Picture and Best Director for the team of Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert .
Quan began his career at just 12 years old when he was cast as Short Round in 1984’s Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, which he followed up with Data in the 1985 classic Goonies.
He worked sporadically for the rest of the 1980s and 1990s with roles on the short-lived TV series Head of the Class and the 1992 film Encino Man before retiring from acting for decades.
The Vietnam native, who fled the country with his family when he was just four years old, returned to EEAAO and bagged a slew of awards before winning Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars.
The actor opened up to Variety just hours after his Oscar win, admitting that despite his recent success, he’s worried it won’t last long.

“I have had a conversation with my agent. I’m so concerned that this is just a one-off,” Quan revealed.
In addition to American Born Chinese, he will star in season two of the Marvel series Loki, which is expected to debut in 2023.
He also stars in the action adventure The Electric State alongside Millie Bobby Brown, Chris Pratt and Anthony Mackie.
When asked if he was worried that he might not be cast again despite his Oscar win, Quan relayed some advice he had received from two-time Oscar winner Cate Blanchett.
“I recently attended an event and sat next to Cate Blanchett. I told her I don’t know what I’m going to do next, but I feel I have a responsibility to do something good and I don’t want to disappoint all the people who have supported me,” said Quan. .
