“Everything Everywhere All at Once” director Daniel Kwan wore a red suit to the 2023 Oscars.
The jacket was embroidered with gold detailing on the sleeves and “punk” on the back.
It nodded to a cardigan Michelle Yeoh’s character Evelyn wore in the movie.
Daniel Kwan paid homage to his film “Everything Everywhere All at Once” with his 2023 Oscars look on Sunday.
Kwan, 35, directed the film — which won seven Academy Awards including best picture — alongside Daniel Scheinert, 35.
The movie was favored to sweep the Oscars with its 11 nominations, so it’s no surprise Kwan arrived on the champagne carpet at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California, looking like a winner.
Kwan wore a red suit that had shiny lapels, which he paired with a white shirt and a bolo tie with a green pendant.

The sleeves of Kwan’s jacket were embroidered with a gold flower, with its leaves flowing down his arms.
The sleeve details coordinated with the back of the jacket, which said “punk” in large letters in gold with a touch of green.

Kwan’s look was playful and fashion-forward in and of itself, but the jacket stood out even more because it nodded to “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”
In the film’s climax at the family’s laundromat, Evelyn (Michelle Yeoh) wears a red cardigan.
It looks almost identical to Kwan’s Oscars suit, from the color to the gold detailing.

The film’s costume designer, Shirley Kurata, told Vogue she found the cardigan in Chinatown.
“Whenever I shop for a character, I like to think about where they would shop,” she told Vogue. “I felt that Evelyn and Waymond don’t have a ton of money but they would definitely shop for clothes for themselves in Chinatown. And there’s just a style to it too that is very distinctly Asian — especially like Asian mom, dad, or grandma or grandpa.”
She went on to tell Vogue the cardigan also felt “perfect” because it said “punk” on it.
“It came in a scene where she smashes the window, and it exemplified what she was going through and who she really was,” Kurata said. “She was becoming badass and punk at that point.”
