Sometimes you encounter a red carpet so fashionable that you can't get past it. The premiere of Crazy Rich Asians was held in Hollywood on Aug. 7, and the cast mimicked their characters by bringing the glamour and the swank from the movie onto the red carpet. From brocade suit blazers, to sequined strapless dresses, to satin lunchbox purses, there was so much sartorial goodness that you didn't know what to drool over first.

Seeing how Crazy Rich Asians is the first Hollywood film about an Asian-American character's story in over 25 years, it's no surprise that the stars wanted to showcase Asian designers while on the red carpet.

Actresses Janice Koh and Selena Tan, who play the movie's judgey aunties, decided to represent Singapore in their fashion choices, which not only is where the movie was based, but is also their hometowns. Tan wore a navy ruched dress with dramatic feather work running across the neckline and down the center of the dress, which was made by Singaporean designer Frederick Lee Couture.

Meanwhile Koh wore a mandarin-collar dress with elbow-length bell sleeves and a sleek silk column silhouette. Her particular dress was made by Singapore label Ong Shunmugam.

Constance Lau, who plays the Singapore version of Gossip Girl and is the one who spreads gossip in the movie, showed up wearing a white mandarin collar dress whose skirt was made out of ombre fringe. The frock was meant to be "a take on the Chinese dress, what we call a Cheongsam in Singapore," as she explained to USA Today. See all the beautiful looks below.
