Kelly Marie Tran has publicly come out as queer.

Speaking to Vanity Fair about her upcoming remake of Ang Lee's queer rom-com The Wedding Banquet, the Star Wars actress felt emboldened to step into her truth on the record for the first time. "I haven’t said this publicly yet, but I’m a queer person,” shared Tran.

She added of her involvement in queer filmmaker Andrew Ahn's remake, "The thing that really excited me about it was I got to play a person that I felt like I knew. I don’t feel like I’m acting at all in this movie."

"I’m here doing this amazing movie with these amazing people," said Tran. "I’ve never been in a queer space before. I’ve never truly felt this accepted before.”

5 Years Later, Billie Lourd Pitches the Star Wars Spinoff We Need Right Now

Five years after 'The Rise of Skywalker,' Star Wars alum Billie Lourd is keen to do a buddy comedy with Kelly Marie Tran.

Star Wars’ Billie Lourd Would “Do Anything” to Reunite With Rose Tico

[...]

Lourd is certainly open for a reunion, but there’s one sequel alum she’d especially like to team up with in a new project: “Honestly? Rose [Tico], baby. Kelly Marie Tran is one of my favorite people of all time, and I would love to team up with her. We should do a buddy comedy: Rose and Connix.”

A Rose and Connix team-up would be an intriguing sequel follow-up. Rise of Skywalker faced scrutiny for sidelining Rose: she appeared for little over a minute in the two-hour film. It felt like a considerable downgrade from her appearance in The Last Jedi, and the filmmakers never quite explained her diminished role.

An Ode to the Áo Dài

The traditional Vietnamese garment, which translates to “long shirt,” has been reimagined as a modern heirloom, writes author Thao Thai.

When Kelly Marie Tran wore an áo dài designed by Thái Nguyễn to the Oscars in 2022, this moment created a magnificent stir, both among Americans and Vietnamese people of the diaspora who’d never seen our national garment represented on a red carpet. It was, in so many ways, a kind of permission to exist outside of the margins, to have our culture spotlit without explanation or apology.

Nguyễn remembers receiving a phone call from Tran, who asked if it was possible to create an áo dài in three days. He said, “[That call] woke me up.” After 16 hours of work, the team at Thái Nguyễn Atelier finished the áo dài hours before the award show. Nguyễn describes the way that American PR companies and buyers once told him that his name and identity were too ethnic; they didn’t think an áo dài would ever be a mainstream garment. “I’ve been yearning for that moment,” Nguyễn says, recalling the first time he saw Tran at the Oscars. “Afterward, a Vietnamese follower sent me a photo of her five-year-old daughter in an áo dài and said, ‘She can wear this now to a birthday party, instead of a Cinderella or Snow White gown.’” In fact, Nguyễn is co-writing Mai’s Ao Dai, a children’s book about a girl who discovers the beauty of áo dài, with Vietnamese American writer Monique Truong. Such representation is already changing the way younger generations are embracing the áo dài.
