Hong Chau in Downsizing

"I am Vietnamese, and we don’t celebrate birthdays. My parents don’t actually know their birth dates—they just go by their signs. When somebody asks you how old you are, you say, 'I’m born this month in the Year of the…' I was born in the Year of the Sheep. Sheep don’t like to be the center of attention, and they don’t like being told what to do. That pretty much sums me up."

She's great and super cute. I like her style but I wish she'd (and probably everyone) would stay away from dresses that overuse lace, especially in pastel colours

She's had some wonderful red carpet looks.
