Michelle Yeoh has become aware of a heartwarming yet viral plea from a mother named Tracy on TikTok, who, through her soon-to-be-bride daughter Amity, reached out to borrow the stunning Armani Privé gown Yeoh donned at the 2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards for Amity's upcoming wedding. Amity, sharing the sweet yet bold act of her mother, captioned a clip of Tracy holding Yeoh's award-night photo, saying, "That's literally Michelle Yeoh!"
Yeoh, ever the graceful and gracious celebrity, responded via her Instagram Story, expressing how "utterly flattered" she was that the "fabulously fearless" Tracy adored her floral-adorned, sleeveless, floor-length masterpiece, perfect for a spring wedding. However, she gently revealed that the enchanting Armani Privé dress was, regrettably, "not nestled in my wardrobe," as celebrities often rent or borrow designer attire for such grand events. The Oscar winner then bestowed upon the bride-to-be and her future spouse her warmest wishes for "the most enchanting, magical wedding" and hailed Tracy as the "quintessential mother of the bride."
In an interview with PEOPLE, Amity recounted having to gently inform her mother that stars seldom own the gowns they wear. She also described Yeoh's response as a "dreamlike fever" and extended an open invitation to the star, saying, "Michelle, thank you for your heartfelt response and wonderful wishes. You're invited to our wedding, and please, no dress worries!"
Yeoh graced this year's SAG Awards to celebrate the five nominations garnered by Wicked, including nods for Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. The Crazy Rich Asians veteran portrayed Madame Morrible in the first installment of Jon M. Chu's film adaptation of the Wizard of Oz prequel. The eagerly anticipated sequel, titled Wicked: For Good, soars into theaters on November 21, continuing the tale of Erivo's Elphaba being declared an enemy of the state by the deceitful Wizard (played by Jeff Goldblum) and Madame Morrible.
Taking on the musical adaptation was a "leap of faith" for Yeoh, being her first foray into the genre. Yet, she wisely noted, "One can never foretell which doors will open until one tries them all."
