Gemma Chan:

Hell no!

Michelle Lee:

(laughs)

Gemma Chan:

No! It was like being Cinderella. I had to give everything straight back. But, you know, it was- I felt so lucky to even be wearing some of those outfits.

Michelle Lee:

(laughs)

Gemma Chan:

And yeah, it was- it was great.

Michelle Lee:

I feel like the other thing too that when I think about you during the promo for that movie, it was really meaningful to me, and I feel like meaningful to a lot of other people who I've talked to, the fact that during the promotion, you wore either all or mostly Asian designers. Like to me that is something that is so meaningful, because it's one thing to be a face on the screen, but it's another thing to then make opportunities for other people and to do things that are just, again, behind- not- not even behind the scenes, because obviously you were still in front of the camera, but...Can you walk us through the thought process behind that, and what that meant to you?

Gemma Chan:

I remember before, we were starting to plan the outfits of the tour, and I didn't have that much time to get things ready. And I was talking to my stylist. And, you know, you know you're gonna have to put together this many looks, and we said, "Why don't we use it as an opportunity to tell a bit of a story, to be a bit educational, and to, as you say, lift- give others a bit of a lift?"

And then, around that time as well, I know you guys hosted this screening from everyone kind of who is Asian in fashion in New York. You had that wonderful screening, and you showed such support for us. And I remember seeing that and seeing the pictures from it and being so moved. I thought, I just want to give something back. And from then on I just knew what I wanted to do.

Michelle Lee:

Oh, that makes me so happy!

Gemma Chan:

Yeah, no, honestly, it was you guys. I was so grateful to the support from so many other areas. And, you know, it really felt like the first time that our community really came together in a way that we haven't done before or haven't had the opportunity to before. And there was so much love. And yeah, it was just a small thing that I could do to give back. And my stylist, Rebecca Corbin-Murray, she did an amazing job. She managed to kind of put it all together really quickly. And, yeah, I'm thrilled. I'm thrilled that we were able to do that.
