Michelle Yeoh, co-star of the 2001 film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," took home actress of the year honors at the MTV Style Awards in Shanghai.
Awards were given out in 37 categories Saturday, ranging from fashion design to best female rocker, and nominees included entertainers and artists from mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea.
Yeoh wowed Saturday's audience with her hair dyed violet and glittering jewelry.
"I know it's pretty funny, but I think it looks nice," said Yeoh, dressed in a pink fur coat and metallic mini skirt.
Yeoh promised "a breakthrough" in the coming year, but gave no details. She made a name for herself in Hong Kong kung fu action films, then gained attention elsewhere when she appeared with Pierce Brosnan in "Tomorrow Never Dies."
Other winners included Coco Lee for breakthrough international artist, Edison Chan for breakthrough actor of the year and director He Ping's kung fu epic "Warriors of Heaven and Earth" for Chinese film of the year.
