Chan's first major role came in 2010,[19] as a heavily accented Chinese immigrant appearing in The Blind Banker, a first series episode of BBC's Sherlock. The episode was criticized partly because of its orientalist clichés.[19][20] Chan's next releases, Pimp, (2010) and Shanghai (2010), were panned by critics, while Submarine premiered at the 35th Toronto International Film Festival to positive reviews.[21][22] Chan was cast as a series regular in the final series of Secret Diary of a Call Girl, as the rival of Billie Piper's character.[23] The series aired on ITV2 in 2011.[24]

She received rave reviews with Michael Billington of The Guardian writing, that "Chan shows, with great skill...a coolly inscrutable Ruth".[39] The Evening Standard described Chan's performance as "cool" and "elegant".[40] Chan said of the experience "There is a lot of ambiguity with [my] character and in [Pinter's] text, but as you work on it you have to make choices and decide what your truth is... A lot of people think she's controversial and ask why she behaves the way she behaves, and it's been really interesting trying to work that out."[41]

That same year she portrayed the protagonist's girlfriend, Chen-Lin, in French comedy-drama Belles Familles (2015), which was released at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival.[42][43] She lent her voice to BBC's animated miniseries Watership Down in 2018.[44] Chan starred as the anthropomorphic robot Anita/Mia in Humans, an AMC/Channel 4 science-fiction drama, from 2015 to 2018.[45][46] The A.V.

There are layers to her ... [she] seemingly has it all together.[54] The film became the highest-grossing romantic comedy of the decade and received critical acclaim for its cast, visuals and on-screen representation.[55][56] The Hollywood Reporter lauded Chan as "a radiant presence who lights up her every scene".[57]

Public image and fashion

[edit]

Labeled a fashion icon,[90] Chan is recognised for her "polished and flawless" style.[91] Her old Hollywood style and red carpet fashion choices have been widely publicised.[92]

The 2018 comedy Crazy Rich Asians brought Chan to international attention. The following year, she attended the 91st Academy Awards wearing a fuchsia pink Valentino dress, which gained significant media attention and praise from critics. Harper's Bazaar described the look as "parachute-like" and praised it as "an Oscars red carpet triumph".[93] Chan was featured in best-dressed rankings by multiple publications, including Harper's Bazaar,[94] Town & Country,[95] and Vogue.[96] For Vogue, Alice Birell wrote, "The designer of the moment, the colour of the moment, the silhouette of the moment and yet nothing about this is over produced. Another absolute bullseye for Chan. I wouldn't want to be stepping out of the car right after her...", and Remy Rippon said it "...feels befitting of the most glamarous night of awards season".[97] Additionally, Zara Wong wrote, "I can't recall if there's ever been a stronger and more consistent red carpet style star debut, and it makes me even prouder that someone of Chinese heritage has made such a style impact in Hollywood. Gemma Chan is undoubtedly the favourite look at the Vogue office, and this will go down in Oscar history.".[97]

Chan attended the 2019 Met Gala dressed by Tom Ford, embracing the year's "camp" theme. Her look was compiled of a "dazzling chainmail dress" and "Taylor-inspired headpiece" designed by Ford, with "Chan's straight locks" paying tribute to Cher, as Chan said, "You don't really get more icon than Elizabeth Taylor and Cher, so no pressure". Emily Chan of Vogue compared Chan's "dramatic headress" to Taylor's "famous number from the film Boom! and a 1967 masked ball at Venice's Rezzonico Palace.".[98] Chan was featured in Vogue's selection of the "best beauty moments from the 2019 Met Gala".[99] Other notable fashion appearances of Chan include the Captain Marvel premiere in 2019, where she wore custom Ralph & Russo; the 2019 Vanity Fair Oscar party, styled by Tom Ford and Jimmy Choo; the 2019 Critics' Choice Awards, dressed by Jason Wu; the 2019 Golden Globes, where she wore a Valentino couture hybrid gown; among several others through the years.[100]

Amalissa Hall of Tatler praised Chan as "a fixture on major red carpets and front rows of fashion shows", writing that "in each of her appearances, [Chan] delivers a memorable look".[101] Continuing her partnership with Louis Vuitton, Chan's custom archival-inspired black dress from the 2022 In America-themed Met Gala was praised among the "best-dressed" of the night.[102][103] Teen Vogue listed Chan among their "24 Celebrities Who Nailed It" list.[104] Chan's styles at the 2022 and 2023 Cannes Film Festivals were also praised, where she respectively wore a "sheer gothic gown"[105][106] and a "white gown adorned with sparkling pailettes",[107] further continuing her partnership with Louis Vuitton. Chan also wore Louis Vuitton to the 2023 Vogue World event, with a custom "organza dress covered in bluish silver paillettes".[108] In 2024, Chan was featured in Edward Enninful's final British Vogue cover, titled "40 Megastars, One Magnificent Image", appearing alongside forty notable female celebrities including Miley Cyrus, Jane Fonda, Kaia Gerber, Salma Hayek, Dua Lipa and Oprah Winfrey.[109]

Chan has also been praised for promoting Asian fashion designers. Faye Bradley of the South China Morning Post (SCMP) wrote that Chan "made a point of wearing Asian designers on every step of her press tour to promote Crazy Rich Asians. "I think we are all becoming more aware that the greater platform you have the more responsibility you have, but it just isn't about speaking about designers, it is about speaking up when we see disparity or a problem," Chan told The Hollywood Reporter. Examples of Asian designers Chan has worn at public events include a couture chiffon Miss Sohee gown accompanied by Anabela Chan jewellery at the Newport Beach Film Festival in February 2023; a strapless pink Jason Wu gown to an event by George and Amal Clooney; a flower-style Oscar de la Renta dress by "Slaysian" creative director Laura Kim;[110] at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival; among multiple others.[111]

Activism and social engagement

Anti-racism and anti-Asian hate initiatives

In May 2021, Chan co-launched the #StopESEAHate campaign in the United Kingdom, aimed at combating the surge in hate crimes against East and Southeast Asian communities amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The initiative, supported by GoFundMe, raised funds for grants to organizations providing mental health services, legal aid, and community support for affected ESEA individuals, with Chan citing personal concerns for her parents' safety in the UK as a motivating factor. This effort mirrored U.S.-based #StopAAPIHate responses to incidents like the March 2021 Atlanta spa shootings, where Chan publicly condemned anti-Asian violence as terrorism and called for unity against scapegoating. Chan has emphasized the need for broader societal accountability in addressing anti-Asian , stating in August 2021 that ignorance and must be confronted across communities, including within minority groups, to dismantle systemic suppression. In April 2021, she criticized for downplaying Prince Philip's documented racially insensitive remarks toward Asians as mere "gaffes," arguing that such portrayals irresponsibly trivialize casual during a period of heightened vulnerability for Asian communities. That same month, Chan joined as a on a series examining the 1982 murder of Vincent Chin, a Chinese-American autoworker killed by white assailants amid anti-Japanese economic resentment, to highlight historical patterns of anti-Asian violence and their relevance to contemporary issues. Her advocacy extends to critiquing intra-minority tensions, as in a February 2021 Instagram post where she urged calling out anti-Asian sentiment in all communities while supporting , asserting that racism against any group undermines collective progress. These actions align with reported UK data showing a 21% rise in anti-Asian hate crimes during the pandemic, though Chan has focused on actionable support rather than unsubstantiated institutional narratives.

Advocacy for women's rights and against violence

Chan has been a vocal supporter of initiatives combating sexual harassment and abuse in the entertainment industry. In February 2018, she was one of 190 signatories to an open letter published in The Guardian, declaring "Time's Up" on sexual harassment, discrimination, and abuse, and calling for systemic change to empower women. That year, she appeared in the short film Leading Lady Parts, produced in support of the Time's Up movement to highlight gender disparities in casting and representation. As a founding member and financial contributor to the UK's Justice and Equality Fund—established as the British counterpart to Time's Up—she helped fund grants totaling £1 million by 2019 to women's organizations addressing sexual harassment and abuse, including support for victims and policy advocacy. In efforts against domestic violence, Chan partnered with the UK's Refuge charity on International Women's Day 2020, donating proceeds and her public endorsement to the National Domestic Abuse Helpline, which assists one in four women affected by such abuse in England and Wales. She co-signed a 2020 public statement criticizing the Domestic Abuse Bill for inadequately protecting migrant women, arguing it left too many trapped in abusive situations due to limited access to support services. In a March 2021 Harper's Bazaar essay, Chan advocated for global eradication of violence against women and girls, drawing from her UNICEF fieldwork in Jamaica, where she observed programs shielding young girls from gang violence and providing safe educational spaces. As a ambassador since 2021, Chan has focused on preventing violence against children, particularly girls, through visits to and to promote programs addressing exposure to abuse and exploitation. She has publicly linked these efforts to broader , stating in interviews that addressing the "epidemic of male violence" requires tackling root causes like unequal power dynamics from childhood. Her advocacy emphasizes empirical interventions, such as community-based protection and policy reforms, over generalized narratives.

Support for broader social movements and political commentary

Chan has expressed , participating in the People's Vote march on October 20, 2018, where she carried a sign reading "Even Had a Cunning Plan," referencing the Blackadder to critique the perceived lack of strategy in the United Kingdom's withdrawal.

Media portrayal, achievements, and criticisms

Media outlets have frequently portrayed Gemma Chan as an elegant and versatile actress, emphasizing her poised demeanor and contributions to greater Asian representation in Western cinema following her role in Crazy Rich Asians (2018), which grossed $239 million worldwide on a $30 million budget and marked a commercial milestone for studio romantic comedies. Publications such as Harper's Bazaar have highlighted her ability to embody characters with underlying emotional depth, as seen in her performances in Crazy Rich Asians and subsequent Marvel Cinematic Universe films like Captain Marvel (2019) and Eternals (2021). Her public image is often tied to fashion influence, with descriptors like "polished and flawless" applied to her old Hollywood-inspired red carpet style, where she champions Asian designers to promote cultural visibility. Chan's achievements in media narratives center on her breakthrough from television to high-profile films, including critical recognition for advancing diverse storytelling; The New York Post described her post-Crazy Rich Asians trajectory as "heating up Hollywood" amid the film's historic all-Asian principal cast. Her MCU roles, particularly Sersi in Eternals, positioned her as a lead in a $200 million production, though the film received mixed reviews with a 47% Rotten Tomatoes score, the lowest for any MCU entry, partly due to critiques of pacing and character development rather than individual performances. Media accolades often praise her advocacy alongside acting, such as using press tours to call for more inclusive narratives, aligning with outlets' emphasis on her as a "modern day heroine" for underrepresented stories. Criticisms of Chan have been limited but notable, primarily targeting early career choices like her 2010 Sherlock episode "The Blind Banker," where her portrayal of Soo Lin Yao was later described by British Vogue as a "racially tone-deaf exercise in " evoking the "wilting lotus blossom" ; Chan reflected in 2021 that she might not make the same decisions today. Her casting as Elizabeth Hardwick in (2018) drew online backlash for racial deviation from the historical figure, with some detractors labeling it "jarring," though Chan defended it as part of evolving media representations. Broader critiques include her 2021 accusation against for "trivializing casual racism" in coverage of Prince Philip's funeral remarks, amid rising anti-Asian sentiment, highlighting tensions in media handling of such issues. These instances reflect sporadic pushback against her roles and commentary, often amplified in niche online discourse rather than mainstream condemnation.

She began a relationship with English actor Dominic Cooper around 2018, publicly confirmed that year through vacation photographs in Formentera, Spain.

No prior long-term partnerships have been verifiably documented in reliable sources, and as of 2022, the couple had not married or had children.

Chan has criticized modern political systems for eroding , stating in a 2021 interview that "there no longer seems to be any ; there’s a lack of ," pointing to instances where ministers or advisors would have resigned a decade prior but now face no repercussions, particularly amid issues affecting public lives. She expressed frustration with the UK's Conservative Party leadership selection process in 2019, noting that it allows a small, unrepresentative group of members—rather than the broader public—to choose the , which she described as "incredibly frustrating." Despite such critiques, Chan has maintained optimism for systemic improvement, affirming in the same discussion her hope that "things won’t be a complete disaster" and emphasizing the potential of decent individuals to counter extreme voices in both major parties. On societal issues, Chan advocates for cross-group solidarity to combat , arguing in 2021 that "if only Black people care about then nothing’s gonna change" and similarly for the Stop Asian Hate movement, insisting that "it’s only when we stick up for one another, and we stand side by side, that things will shift." As a second-generation immigrant, she views as a duty her parents' generation could not fully pursue, describing herself as an "accidental activist" compelled to address persistent inequalities. Chan has also highlighted systemic racial and gender imbalances in decision-making structures, such as Hollywood's gatekeeping by a small cadre of predominantly white male executives, calling for diversity "all the way up the chain" to foster equitable representation and challenge antiquated stereotypes. She has condemned media trivialization of casual , as in her 2021 response to a Sunday Times article on Prince Philip that downplayed racially insensitive remarks, underscoring how such normalization perpetuates harm against East and Southeast Asian communities.
