Stars across the Asian American community stepped out for the Gold Gala over the weekend.
Gold House's fifth annual event, known as the "Asian Met Gala," takes place each year during Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, and aims to honor the contributions of celebrities and influential leaders in the AANHPI community.
This year's event, held in Los Angeles, honored Charles Melton, Eileen Gu, Jet Li, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Revathi Advaithi and Simu Liu. Gold House also honored stars across entertainment and media, business, fashion and more with its Gold100 list, which celebrates the 100 leaders who helped shape global culture over the past year, including EJAE, Hudson Williams, Tia Carrere, Lucy Liu and more.
On the gold carpet, attendees embraced fashion inspired by their cultures, as well as glamorous looks by AANHPI designers.
When asked about representing their culture at Gold Gala and honoring AANHPI designers, Carrere, who wore a gold Filipiñana gown by Glademir Echavarre, told "Good Morning America" that the reason why the event encourages many to represent their culture on the carpet.
"The reason why everybody comes out representing their style and their ethnicity is because it's basically a dictate of the event," the "Lilo and Stitch" star said. "I love that they ask us to do this and represent our colors and costumes. And I think that's why everyone comes out so diverse."
