You have to have seen Crazy Rich Asians by now. (And, if you haven’t, shut this down and run to the nearest movie theater. I can promise you that it will be the most fun you’ve had all summer.) And if you have, you probably became as obsessed with Astrid Teo as quickly as I did. Aside from actress Gemma Chan literally being the most beautiful person I’ve ever set eyes on, Astrid became an instant but unexpected favorite. (Seriously, I did not believe a double heiress decked out head-to-toe in couture would genuinely seem as “down-to-earth” as described. I was wrong, everybody.)
I quickly realized why Rachel said she “always wanted to be her”, but even faster than that, I realized she deserved a spot on this blog. One of the very first things she’s described as is a “fashion icon”, after all.
