Asian Celeb Inspiration: Fan Bing Bing

Fan Bing Bing (not to be confused with previously featured fashionable Asian Li Bing Bing) is a 29 year old Chinese actress with many talents (she's also a singer) and is truly a fashion icon in China. Bing Bing recently won best actress at the Tokyo International Film Festival and was seen making the rounds at Paris Fashion week this year.

at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival in a dress fit for an empress, this girl knows how to command attention on the red carpet. Some may say she was the worst dressed, but I think this gown is very representative of China and it was definitely very well made.

Is there a dress that doesn't look good on this girl? No wonder all the major designers are throwing their dresses on her...so lucky...
Life and its problems have kept me from blogging on a regular basis but I hope I can get back into the swing of things :) I'm thinking about changing my blog banner, leave me suggestions in the comments section on which fashionable asian I should feature!
Have a great day everyone =)

Fashion at TVB's 2011 Sales Presentation

Last night was Hong Kong TVB's 2011 sales presentation where they promote new television series for the upcoming year and everyone got all dressed up for it :)
Fabulously Pic Heavy Post Below:

DoDo Cheng, Nancy Sit, Linda Chung, Liza Wang and Toby Leung all wore fuschia dresses to the event, bringing much needed color to the festivities

Koni Liu looking fabulous in this elegant and flowy dress, my pick for best dressed of the night!

Elaine in a simple coral gown but with not so simple jewelry

Kate Tsui is trying way to hard to blend in with the carpet, girl needs to lose the blood red tights :T

Love the bold color of this dress and how beautiful and perfect it is for her body
Samantha Ko showing off her sponsored jewelry, among other things xP

Tavia Yeung all blinged out for the show

Steven Ma and Fala Chen in a sleek strapless dress, perfect for showing off that statement necklace

Not a very exciting dress but I like the color combo of the metallic champagne and black

The lacey look from head to toe actually doesn't look too bad...

Aimee Chan always stays true to her tomboy nature and picks a simple dress to wear

Linda Chung and Nancy Wu in fun and feminine looks
Moses Chan and Bernice Liu, the perfect couple ;) Lol at Moses showing off Bernice's deep-V back

Drama Fashion: No Regrets

If you are interested in vintage clothing then this blog post is for you!
I started watching this Hong Kong TVB drama last week and it is soooo dramatic. It takes place during the 1940's in Guangzhou, China (which I find, has the best fashion in Chinese history because that was when eastern and western styles began to merge) during a time where crooked cops worked with the mafia (Sheren Tang plays The "Godsister") and the Japanese starts a war with the Chinese. I'm up to episode 11 and I have a headache from all the yelling that goes on in every episode but I'm really liking the costumes in this series. The costume designers/stylists didn't skimp on the details, especially when dressing Sheren Tang, the star of the show. Below are some of my favorite looks from "Miss Nine."

Don't know how historically accurate it was for a woman to be in menswear during the '40's but it makes her look more powerful than Wayne Lai's character (right).

This white jacket is probably my favorite, she's worn it in a couple of scenes, can't tell from this picture but it has floral pattern on it, simply gorgeous!

This red dress looks a lot like something my mother had in the '70's, love the bold red color!

The jacket with the slits is so 2010! Recently saw something similar in a fashion magazine!

A better look at Sheren's bright blue cape/jacket; looks like something we can wear today.

I noticed that they have Sheren in the brightest outfits, while everyone else in the mafia wears dark/muted clothing. It gives her a sense of power over everyone else and makes her stand out more in group scenes. I really hope Sheren wins best actress again this year at the TVB Anniversary Awards, very well deserved!
Hope you guys enjoyed my vintage fashion post! ;P

Award Show Fashion: 2010 Cosmopolitan Beauty Awards

Hey everyone, how's your week going so far? Award season is really heating up in Asia, but this time it's an award show celebrating the best in the beauty industry. But you know me, I like to turn everything into a fashion award show, so here are the results and feel free to let me know if you agree!

Patty Hou looked amazing in this one shoulder Grecian style dress

Gao Yuan Yuan in a fabulously chic sequined gown. I love sequins and how they can make a girl sparkle without turning into a vampire ;P haha
Angie Chiu shined in this beaded white dress
Vivian Chou in a dress that was perfect for her body type

Vivian Wu channels Barney the purple dinosaur, not a very exciting dress but the knot in the middle gives a little extra something
Stefanie Xiao in a dress that reminds me of something Gwen Stefani would wear or create for LAMB
Qi Wei, too much (p)leather, with the pants, shoes, glove and belt; all she needed to do was edit.
Makeup artist Kevin with Taiwanese singer Landy Wen
I really like Athena Chu's statement necklace
Charlie Yeung in Pink Panther pink!
Sun Li has too much of a boyish figure to pull off a dress, especially one with such messy ruffles
Yi Neng Jing...Oh dear, this is what happens when a designer has extra fabric lying around, it ends up on the dress when it shouldn't.

I think Jia Qing may have missed her dress fitting because the top looks way too big for her; it looks very sloppy.
