14 Actors Who Paid Tribute To Their Characters On The Red Carpet In The Best Ways

1.Michelle Yeoh wore the iconic engagement ring from Crazy Rich Asians on the Golden Globes red carpet. It's actually her ring — she told E!, "This is my own ring; it was such a character in the film, so it had to be instantly recognizable. The color green is about life, prosperity...and with Eleanor, since she's so particular, I knew the ring that she would wear."

But that bitch just keeps coming back. She won't leave me alone."
