Star Awards 2024: The best dressed fashion highlights
All the must-see looks from the Star Awards 2024 red carpet.
Star Awards 2024, Singapore’s biggest entertainment show, took place on Apr 21 at The Theatre at Mediacorp. It was a big night for the entertainment industry – over 150 contenders were in the running for a slew of awards – as it was a big night in fashion.
Best Actor winner Jeremy Chan took home his first acting award in a suave white Dolce & Gabbana suit. Caldecott queen Zoe Tay took to the red carpet in a vintage coral Tom Ford Lichtenstein-esque gown from the fashion designer’s Fall/Winter 2013 collection. Rebecca Lim took time off maternity leave to partake in the ceremony in a striking Gucci cape dress.
Leading male stars Richie Koh, Desmond Tan and Zhang Ze Tong updated the black-tie dress code with their own unique takes. Richie tried on ‘shrimp cocktail’ pink for size, while Desmond’s cropped Louis Vuitton jacket and Mary Janes combi dreamt up by Pharrell Williams was nothing short of fashion forward. And Ze Tong rewrote the style rules with a Dolce & Gabbana sleeveless shirt and vest ensemble.
The female stars didn’t let up either. There was something familiar about Chantalle Ng’s netted and tasselled Sportmax dress that was somehow reminiscent of her deconstructed chainmail dress from Star Awards 2023. Ann Kok accepted her All Time Favourite Artiste award in a sequined disco diva gown that shone like a mirror in mid day. Ajumma Hong Huifang forsook the expected ballgown and strode down the runway in a sleek black and white suit complete with cool confidence.
Below, see our best-dressed fashion highlights from Star Awards 2024.
BOYS IN COLOURS
Tyler Ten opted for tight red leather. While he wore the colour well, the biceps and the pectoral muscles looked like they were screaming for early release.
No Bandung for Elvin Ng this year, the 43-year-old kept it staid with an all-beige double-breasted suit.
GOLD
Jernelle Oh took home a Most Popular Rising Star award in a resplendent Nicole + Felicia Couture princess gown.
Ya Hui exuded silver screen goddess energy in this pleated gold gown. The “huat”, or prosperity, colour was a happy coincidence with her eighth Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes win.
Xiang Yun’s play on gold and black was equal parts glamorous and chic.
Felicia Chin may have left Mediacorp but she hasn’t forgotten how to play the game: Pick a shiny dress to be seen. Kudos on this modern C3PO take.
SILVER
Best Actress winner Kym Ng kept it simple and elegant for this momentous night.
All-Time Favourite Artiste Ann Kok’s not-so-subtle mirrored dress shone like a diamond.
MEN IN BLACK
Most Popular Rising Star winner Ayden Sng bared his chest for his favourite Bulgari Serpenti lasso necklace.
For an unexpected twist, singer Nathan Hartono skipped the crisp shirt for a floaty tunic.
Best Actor nominee Desmond Tan played with different shades of black for an uber fashion take.
WOMEN IN WHITE
Sheryl Ang’s model roots showed through this tres chic Dolce & Gabbana getup.
Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes winner Chantalle Ng has a thing for unusual sheath dresses. Last year, it was a deconstructed chain mail sheath. This year, a netted and tasselled one.
Bonnie Loo’s white lace look by designer Brian Khoo teases the imagination.
JEWEL TONES
Picking up from Xiang Yun’s Stabilo yellow last year, Rebecca Lim went all out green in this Gucci number.
Evelyn Tan made her return to filming felt in this Barbie pink gown.

GIRLS IN SUITS
Former Miss Singapore Cheryl Chou’s pinstriped Dolce & Gabbana suit is as handsome as they come when women don suits.
Hong Huifang’s black and white satin suit flanked by oversized rosettes is made even more powerful with that statement ring by Singaporean jeweller State Property Fine Jewellery.
Irene Ang went from The Joker to the dandy.
