Dawn Yeoh Is Trying To Lose 10kg For Star Awards 2026; Already Lost 4kg Thus Far

The Best Supporting Actress front-runner shared that she once lost 4kg in a week for a previous Star Awards.

Dawn Yeoh Is Trying To Lose 10kg For Star Awards 2026; Already Lost 4kg Thus Far

The annual Star Awards is the one major occasion when celebrities strive to look their absolute best, but that often means going on a strict diet beforehand.

Especially for local actress Dawn Yeoh, who apparently gained 10kg over the past few months, the clock is definitely ticking.

The 39-year-old even took to Instagram earlier this month to ask netizens for weight-loss tips.

It turns out the Emerald Hill star had been eating a little too much during the Chinese New Year period and unknowingly put on quite a bit of weight.

Dawn later told Chinese media Zaobao.sg that she'd already lost 4kg through exercise, but is still 6kg away from her goal. The actress hopes to return to her original weight but did not reveal what that target weight is.

According to Dawn, this is not her first time shedding kilos for Star Awards — she previously lost 4kg in just a week through exercise and diet.

As for her outfit this year, Dawn has tried on a few outfits but has not made a final decision yet.

Dawn is nominated for four awards this year — Best Supporting Actress for her role as Kang Sili in Emerald Hill, Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes, Most Hated Villain, and MYPICK! Best CP (Couple Pairing) with Emerald Hill on-screen parter Romeo Tan.

She has not snagged a single award at the ceremony despite being in the industry for more than 20 years.

Of the four, the Best Supporting Actress front-runner admitted that she most wants to win an acting award.

“I think everyone has their own strengths, so it’s really hard to say. I can only say that I really want to win," she said when asked about her odds.

As for Top 10, Dawn shared that she hasn't been campaigning for votes at all.

"But my friends and fans are helping me. It’s really all thanks to them.”

She only has less than a week left.

Will her revived fame from Kang Sili finally help her bag a trophy?

A foodpanda rider in Singapore has been suspended after allegedly marking a customer’s order as delivered before walking away with the food. The incident, involving a $13 order, was captured on camera and later shared online. The company has said investigations are ongoing. The case has also drawn comparisons to previous incidents involving delivery riders, including reports of food being left near rubbish bins and earlier cases of alleged food theft caught on CCTV in 2024. While most food deliveries are completed without issue, such incidents continue to raise concerns about accountability and service standards in the food delivery industry. #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #singapore #foodpanda #fooddelivery

Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong has drawn reactions online after sharing a selfie taken in a car on the way to the airport for a trip to the United States. The post comes shortly after his speech in Parliament encouraging Singaporeans to conserve energy by opting for public transport over private cars, as well as a recent appearance where he was seen taking the Punggol LRT. Some netizens questioned the choice of transport and called for leaders to lead by example, while others welcomed the move towards public transport use and encouraged further steps such as taking buses or even cycling. The discussion reflects broader conversations in Singapore around sustainability, energy conservation, and the practicality of reducing reliance on private vehicles. #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #singapore #sgnews #sgviral
