From TV heartthrob Meerqeen to original sartorialist Wak Doyok, these are the most stylish Malaysian actors that should be on your radar
With a whole team of costume designers, hair stylists, lighting crew and photographers, it can be easy to look good on screen. Whilst local actors tend towards simple T-shirt and jeans off set, some manage to maintain fashionable persona, with unique and impeccable outfits.
In a time where menswear is becoming more expressive, these actors know how to use their personal style to their advantage. Take Awal Ashaari's clean distinctive style for instance, or Wak Doyak's unique and quirky fits, or Singapore-based Malaysian actor Christopher Lee's debonair ensembles.
