It was an emotional moment for Michelle Yeoh<\/a> who, at 63, has finally reached a well-deserved milestone with a special honour. On Wednesday (18 February), Michelle’s impressive career was recognised at the highest level with her very own star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame, and she was understandably emotional at its unveiling.<\/p>\n

Photographs of the event show Michelle wiping away tears from the front row of the audience while, in another shot, her Everything Everywhere All At Once co-star Ke Huy Quan grasps her hand in support. Once the star was unveiled, Michelle posed next to it, lying along the red carpet next to the shiny star emblazoned with her name. <\/p>\n

In a speech, Michelle said that when she was growing up in Malaysia she would look for ‘a single steady star and to believe I could follow it’, adding that now there was ‘one on the ground’ in her honour.

Michelle gave her thanks to ‘the fans around the world,’ as well as to her family. ‘My brother and [his] beautiful wife surprised me, they came all the way from Malaysia yesterday,’ she said. ‘Thank you for showing up and for standing beside me.’<\/p>\n

The star also revealed that her husband, Jean Todt (they pair married in 2023), was unable to join because he was travelling, but added that she had given him ‘permission’ to miss the moment. During her continued you thanks she added, ‘My husband, who is not here because I gave him permission to go to India, and my Todt family, thank you for surrounding me with love, for being my safe harbour and for helping me stay true to my own North Star.’<\/p>\n

Michelle arrived at the ceremony in Los Angeles in a stunning silk midi dress with ‘frayed’ detailing and a lil-pad print. She added pearl and diamond droplet earrings, wearing a tennis bracelet and diamond watch on alternate wrists. Her shining silver heels are the ‘Bouquet Strass Buckle Pumps’ by Roger Vivier.<\/p>\n
