Actor Kelly Marie Tran is using the Rise of Skywalker press tour to showcase Asian design talent from around the globe.
, and ADEAM’s Hanako Maeda were enlisted for one-of-a-kind custom pieces and runway selects. The styling duo, who she considers her fashion mentors, have worked with Tran from the beginning of her career—but the process of pulling looks for her current spate of events was something a little more special. “Kelly is an advocate for diversity within everything she does.
These meaningful choices represent an evolution within her wardrobe. Her first experience promoting a film on the scale of: With countless interviews, photo-ops, and fan meet and greets to dress for, she was instantly immersed in fashion, but still felt uncertain about what suited her. On paper, the multiple outfit changes that typify tours may seem fun, but the reality of developing your taste with the whole world watching is a different story.
This newfound confidence is visible in Tran’s red carpet presence. The sparkling navy Jason Wu gown she wore for last week’s world premiere in Los Angeles required conviction, and Tran brought an Old Hollywood sensibility to the sleek look that underscored its glamour. “That was probably the most beautiful gown I’ve ever worn in my life. I was telling my friends, ‘I never need to get married because I’m not beating this,’” she says. “I feel like that gown perfectly encapsulated so many elements.
Much like Issa Rae, who wore black-owned and designed labels for her stint hosting the CFDA Awards in 2018, or Tracee Ellis Ross who did the same at the American Music Awards later that same year, the power of Tran’s theme lies with its focus on overlooked talent. Every designer or brand featured was chosen because they bring something unique to the table. “It’s not just that they’re Asian, it’s also that they’re incredible artists,” says Tran.
It’s through understanding her power to influence that Tran has fully realized her fashion potential. Now drawn to bold colors and silhouettes that flatter her curvaceous figure, she’s been able to approach style—and her position in the spotlight—with pride. “I truly believe that confidence comes from inside of you. I had to do a lot of work on myself before I felt the confidence to wear pieces that were flashier or that were more dramatic and would bring more attention to me,” she says.
