The story behind Sandra Oh's Black Lives Matter jacket and mask at the Emmys: “I wanted to express my support for the Black community in a way that felt personal to my community.”
The “Killing Eve” star said that she wanted to work with a lesser-known designer and create an outfit reflective of who she is at the awards, where she earned her third straight Emmy nomination for best leading actress in a drama series for her performance as Eve Polastri.
“These are unusual times,” Oh said. “After George Floyd’s death and the protests that followed, I felt that as an Asian American, a Korean American person, I wanted to express my support for the Black community in a way that felt personal to my community.”
