When she was nominated for this year’s Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes award at the Star Awards last Sunday (Apr 24), actress Cynthia Koh, 48, proclaimed that she would “wear nothing at all” if she won.
Making reference to a daring gown she had worn on a previous red carpet event, Ms Koh joked, “I know everyone saw that blue dress I wore, and it must have been memorable. If you vote for me, maybe I’ll wear nothing.”
In December of last year, the actress turned heads at the Asian Academy Creative Awards red carpet in a blue Michael Kors gown constructed with gold rings that showed plenty of skin.
Maybe her little quip ended up being her lucky charm, but Ms Koh ended up bagging her third award in three decades last Sunday.
“This is my best present in 30 years of acting. I don’t think it comes late. It comes in exchange for patience and hard work,” CNA reports the actress as saying after the show.
In an Instagram post on Saturday (Apr 30), Ms Koh showed that she had not forgotten what she said when the nominations for the Star Awards were announced.
She captioned it, “A night to remember…..
I know I promised everyone that if I win 我什么都不穿。
Scroll to the last picture. If you are under 18 , please seek parental guidance. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣”
The photos showed Ms Koh in the beautiful multicolored gown she wore to the award, along with members of her styling team as well as fellow honorees and other friends from the entertainment industry, but the last photo she posted was a very special one.
The final photo is a picture, in sepia, of baby Cynthia in a bathtub. Of course, in this context it’s fitting that she wore “nothing at all.”
The photo drew cheers from friends and fans alike.
