Michelle Yeoh shed her black locks for a blond and medium brown bob for the Singapore premiere.
She was dressed in an Iris Van Herpen Fall 2025 Haute Couture Biolume corset gown, which almost made the actress look otherworldly.
The gown was designed to create a fluid, rippling structure, which left netizens divided, asking, “Wasn’t Halloween last week?”

Some asked, “Why is she giving honey comb?” while others called the dress “absolutely incredible. Need this in a museum.”
It “looks alien,” one said.
Another wrote, “Nice Beehive dress.”
“The dress is like a honeycomb and she’s the qween Bee,” read one comment online

“I can’t tell if i like this or not. she kinda looks like a paper lantern decoration,” one said.
“It’s kinda so hideous that i love it,” another quipped.
“She always shines bright like a star,” said one fan.
“That dress is truly hideous,” another said.

“Honestly… I can’t even focus on the dress’s shape, the fabric is insane,” one said. “That almost cage-like netting texture looks like it took ages to construct, it’s so dramatic!”
“This dress is scary,” one said.
Another agreed, saying, “This kinda freaks me out a little.”

Michelle plays Madame Morrible, the headmistress of Shiz University, in the two-part film adaptation.
She and her co-star Cynthia Erivo were caught off guard when they witnessed an attacker lunge at Ariana while posing for photos and interacting with fans.

The man was identified as Johnson Wen, who goes by the name Pyjama Man and has a reputation for crashing celebrity events.
He left Katy Perry stunned when he jumped on stage during a June show and, in August, he caused a scene at The Weeknd’s show before security personnel escorted him off stage.

During the Thursday premiere of Wicked: For Good, Johnson was captured jumping over the barricade and charging at an unsuspecting Ariana.
He grabbed the Side to Side singer, prompting Cynthia to intervene before security led him away.

The brazen fan shared a clip of the incident on his Instagram and wrote, “Dear Ariana Grande Thank You for letting me Jump on the Yellow Carpet with You.”
Such moments are likely to be extremely jarring for Ariana, who has spoken about her trauma from the tragic Manchester Arena attack during her 2017 concert.

A man, identified as Salman Abedi, ended the lives of 22 people and left over 1,000 others injured after detonating an improvised explosive device.
The device exploded near the ticket office outside the May 22, 2017, concert as the show was coming to an end.
“It’s hard to talk about because so many people have suffered such severe, tremendous loss,” Ariana told British Vogue in 2018.
“I’ve always had anxiety,” the singer said. “ … when I got home from tour [in September 2017] it was the most severe I think it’s ever been”

“ … I feel like I shouldn’t even be talking about my own experience, like I shouldn’t even say anything. I don’t think I’ll ever know how to talk about it and not cry,” the Positions singer continued.
Elsewhere in the interview, she spoke about dealing with anxiety, especially after her 2017 tour.

“I think a lot of people have anxiety, especially right now … My anxiety has anxiety,” she said.
“I’ve always had anxiety. I’ve never really spoken about it because I thought everyone had it, but when I got home from tour [in September 2017] it was the most severe I think it’s ever been,” she added.
“That looks completely ridiculous, don’t kid yourself,” read one comment online

It looks like a fancy, old-fashioned perfume bottle, and I mean that as a compliment. It's perfect for a premiere of a fantastical, whimsical movie. The skirt is amazing. It's a shame the article couldn't stay on topic, though. What does the attack on Ariana Grande - which was already covered in detail by an earlier article - have to do with how spectacular Michelle Yeoh looked?

Because both things happened at the same premier. But I agree, it doesn't have anything to do with her dress.

Funny how it's always how women are dressed that triggers a "meltdown", not men.
