In the movie, Eleanor is against Nick’s relationship with Rachel Chu – played by Constance Wu, as she thinks that Rachel is not good enough for her perfect son.
“Of all the characters’ style, I would take Eleanor’s. She’s got all the best designs, the best jewelry. Richard Mille watch, Armani—very understated, though. Very elegant,” Yeoh told Vanity Fair in a recent interview.
