Style Evolution: Joanne Peh

Only Joanne’s playful pose gives away the fact that she was 21 when this was taken — the hair, the makeup, and the cut of her black dress look more mature than what she wears even today.

Ah, denim vests: 2005's flirty alternative to the timeless denim jacket, especially when paired with short, spiky layers.

A bright-eyed and bushy-tailed Joanne wore a playful grown-out pixie cut for her convocation in 2006.

Flared tube top plus cross pendant plus tan line — all that’s missing from this classic mid-2000s outfit is a shimmery bolero.

We know what you’re thinking: who wears this much eye makeup when playing sports? In Joanne’s defense, glam shots weren’t exactly paragons of portraiture back in 2007.

The wispy 'do that Joanne sported in Like Father, Like Daughter ranks as one of the worst TV mullets ever.

Joanne glowed in a retro-inspired canary yellow dress and Barbie pink earrings.

Joanne's “scene kid” getup hit with us with some major ~em0RAwk3rcHick~ flashbacks.

Can you believe this is what Joanne wore to Star Awards exactly 14 years ago? We wonder what the mother-of-two thinks of this baggy sequinned number now.

Tiny bandage dresses were all the rage in 2009 thanks to the Kardashians, and it looks like Joanne couldn’t resist trying the trend for herself at the ceremony that night.

Even though Game of Thrones had yet to come out in 2009, Joanne’s chartreuse getup — with its extraneous leather detailing and bronze arm candy — gives us serious “Meereen on a budget” vibes.

Va-va-voom! Joanne went head-to-toe sexy while promoting Your Hand In Mine.

In between the garish animal print, the chunky collar, and the visible bra, we can’t decide which element of this getup is the most dated. We live for the day Joanne wears something this “adventurous” on the red carpet again.

Joanne might have made headlines with these strategically-placed cutouts, but you can’t deny how confident and happy she looks showing off her assets.

Joanne’s Dragon Lady-style minidress looks like something straight out of a video game.

Joanne sure knows how to spice up her look! The actress is red hot in this quirky Dolce & Gabbana chilli print two-piece and matching hair.

We'll never forget how Joanne sashayed down the red carpet in her peekaboo Bottega Veneta gown.

All we can say is that Joanne has come a long way style-wise.

As much as we love the lace cheongsam mini on Joanne in retrospect, the smokey eye and bronzer are a little harsh.

While we liked Joanne’s Leonard gown at first glance, its resemblance to a salamander — which went viral on Twitter that night — cannot be unseen.

Joanne looked positively angelic while ushering in the New Year with her then hubby-to-be, Qi Yuwu.

Joanne kept it simple while promoting her drama at a Singapore Police Force event (and apparently, chunky boots and black leggings were still a thing in 2014.)

Joanne’s not one for crazy hairstyles, so it’s no surprise that she ditched this birdlike ‘do, which she donned for a Vidal Sassoon event, during Star Awards a few weeks later.

Why suffer through the night in heels when you can wear sneakers? Joanne's creative choice in footwear certainly makes this outfit more memorable.

Who needs a dress when you can wear four Hermes scarves? And the best part is, it only took Joanne’s stylist 40 minutes to put it together.

Apparently, Joanne loves Ferrero Rocher so much that she came dressed as one for the store opening.

Joanne is sexy mama personified in this gorgeous Stella McCartney dress, which showed off not only her baby bump, but a generous serving of sideboob.

At the Asian Television Awards in 2015, Joanne donned a menswear-inspired getup with a frilly skirt and a felt jacket.

Joanne’s metallic Peter Langner gown, which looks like a more grown-up version of the flashy dress she wore to the 2012 Star Awards, is conservative in comparison, but just as stunning.

Pregnancy sure treated Joanne well. The actress seemed to be glowing at every stage of her pregnancy.

Joanne is the epitome of simple elegance in this red plunging gown from Valentino.

Joanne looked radiant and ethereal in her flowy made-to-measure Jessicacindy gown when she received her All-Time Favourite Artiste award.

A year later, Joanne was back in tulle at the Star Awards. We think she aced it in this Delpozo number that is both fun and girly.

Everything about this jumpsuit screams “blog shop” (and not even the good ones).

Why receive awards when you can BE the award?

Joanne put on an eye-popping display when she showed up at a Prada party in a sheer dress that left little to the imagination. Wish she had worn a black leotard inside instead.

Joanne flaunted her hourglass figure in a half body-baring gown featuring embellishments that provided a peekaboo effect. Sexy!

Did you know: Joanne’s Star Awards red carpet frock was meant to be this sparkly number by Mikael D? Sadly, it didn’t arrive in time for the ceremony but hey, now that it’s made it, Joanne decided to wear it on another special occasion — her birthday. And of course, she looked stunning in it.

Joanne gave some us serious cheongsam envy in The Last Madame. Doesn't she look like an elegant lady from the ’20s in this beautiful qipao with lotus watercolour prints?

Joanne not only “stole” hubby Qi Yuwu's Insta-worthy hat, she looked better than him in it! Couple that with her backless lace dress and reflective sunglasses, Joanne looked set for a fashion shoot in the desert.

Joanne looked all ready to party the night away in this sparkly mini and equally glittery heels. Love the pretty hue, sequins and ’80s puffed sleeve!
