Becky’s topic

The global influence of Asian talent

What the summit is

The Business of Luxury Summit is the Financial Times’ gathering for the people who run the luxury industry. The Asia Edition returns to Bangkok on 19–20 October, bringing together industry leaders, investors, luxury brands, hospitality executives and innovators to talk about where luxury in Asia is heading next. It takes place at Capella Bangkok on the Chao Phraya River, named the World’s Best Hotel in 2024, and it’s also streamed online.

Why Becky is on the stage

Few people can speak to the reach of Asian talent the way Becky can. Since GAP The Series made her a global name in 2022, she has become a L’Oréal Paris ambassador, walked red carpets at Cannes, and sat front row for houses like Chanel and Tod’s. She now runs her own company, Becky Entertainment, and is represented internationally by CAA.

Brands measure that reach in earned media value. At Cannes 2025, Becky alone generated 44.1% of L’Oréal Paris’s earned media value for the festival — the kind of number luxury houses bring to this room. Her full brand story is on her fashion career page.
