Yeoh wore various Balenciaga pieces from that same fall couture 2022 collection for two magazine cover shoots. In October 2022, she wore a long-sleeved blue feathered gown for Vogue China, and in January 2023, she wore an all-black cape-like number for US-based magazine W.

At the 2023 Cannes Film Festival in May, Yeoh wore a bright emerald green Balenciaga gown with a floor-length shawl and opera gloves for the screening of Firebrand. This was one of two custom gowns she wore by Balenciaga for the event. The second was a sparkling black strapless outfit with an angular, structured bodice with contrasting white opera gloves at Kering’s Women In Motion dinner during the festival. 

In July 2023, Yeoh attended the Balenciaga couture show at Paris Haute Couture Week in a pleated pale lemon dress with a small, heavily embellished silver Hourglass bag. This custom dress combines the bold draping aesthetics of the maison with the chic femininity of Yeoh’s own style.

Yeoh starred in Balenciaga’s spring-summer 2024 campaign in black turtleneck dress with a floor-length skirt. She also carried the Hourglass bag again, this time in a larger size with a shiny, black leather finish. The look is modern and minimalistic, and shows how well Yeoh can carry off any look, be it extravagant or understated.
