One of the standout dresses belongs to the Beirut-based designer Reem Acra who dressed one of the stars of the film, Awkwafina (Ocean’s 8), in a blush pink gown with a large red bow on the back – modest yet contemporary.

Picked from the label’s Pre-Fall 2018 collection, the 29-year-old styled the gown with a Jimmy Choo clutch and Giuseppe Zanotti heels, while leaving her hair in soft waves with a swish of red lipstick.

 

Based in a trilogy of books by Kevin Kwan, Crazy Rich Asians is about a New Yorker who learns her modest boyfriend is actually the heir to a massive fortune and now has to navigate the fame and scorns from his disapproving mother.
