“It’s Iris Van Herpen, laser cut and usually I have to adjust so much because I’m 6 feet tall, but the top fit like a glove,” Wong, 41, said. E! Live from the red carpet correspondent Laverne Cox on the red carpet of the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Saturday, February 24. “Then I think we just had to change the bottom and my shoes. I’m no Laverne Cox, so I have to add about 10 inches. I think this is Brandon Blackwood and Bucherer’s jewelry.”
Wong wore a black and white off-the-shoulder dress with laser-cut diamonds on the sleeves. The look also included a sheer overlay with matching white diamond shapes. Wong completed her ensemble with diamond earrings and a sleek high pony.
Wong’s dress took up a significant amount of space, which raised Cox’s concerns about the SAG Award seating.

They hid under it [my skirt] and they just really like it when I’m there a lot more.”

While Wong was thrilled to be recognized for her on Saturday Beef performance, her children – whom she shares with her estranged husband Justin Hakuta – would rather see her do stand-up comedy instead of filming a TV or movie.
“[They] They just told me that they really prefer it when I do stand-up because when we go out, we’re together,” Wong noted on the red carpet. “Right now I’m on tour, but I’m open to it [acting more]. I feel very fortunate that I can do what stands out to me or what appeals to me.”
