Lucy Liu was honored with the prestigious Trailblazer Award at the 4th Annual Celebration of AAPI Cinema and Television on November 14, 2025.

Her red carpet look in a Giambattista Valli black lace mini dress with white ruffled trim became a viral fashion highlight of the event. The award recognizes her decade-spanning career, from her iconic role as O-Ren Ishii in Kill Bill to her recent work in the action-comedy Red One.

She was presented with the award by her Red One co-star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who praised her long-standing influence as an AAPI pioneer in Hollywood.
