Boots worn by Michelle Yeoh in the role of Emperor Philippa Georgiou on Star Trek: Discovery

Object Details

Description
Empress costume boots worn by Michelle Yeoh as Philippa Georgiou on Star Trek: Discovery.
In the streaming Star Trek series Discovery, Sonequa Martin-Green assumes the lead role as parallel universe-hopping Michael Burnham, while Michelle Yeoh plays Philippa Georgiou, a powerful empress in a mirror universe. Discovery's richly diverse cast epitomizes the franchise's long-held vision of a post-racial society, while its advocacy for gender equity boldly goes where earlier series had not.
