Award Show Fashion: 14th Annual HuaBiao Film Awards

I hope the 'wrath' of Hurricane Irene didn't ruin everyone's weekend on the east coast! Thankfully I had electricity throughout otherwise I would've been super bored and wouldn't have known that there was an award show in China for the best in film! I was surprised to see how much black lace dresses there were on this red carpet, Lace is a definite must have this season! Will you be wearing it?

Yuan Li in a revealing lace dress. I know what you're thinking, "What was she thinking?!" I see Paris, I see France, I see Yuan Li's underpants! Well at least she wasn't wearing granny panties like Taylor Swift, now that would've been embarrasing! Even though I am a bit more slender than Li, I don't have the self confidence to ever wear something like this without a slip!
Zhang Ziyi in a much more modest yet still sexy gown by Tom FordZhang Jing Chu also opted for a long sleeved lace dress by Christian Dior, though I wish she had paired it with a clutch rather than a mini purse, it made it look too casual.

Cheng Ting Jia is wearing what I consider to be the perfect amount of lace on any outfit, Loved this look!
Angelababy looked youthful and chic in a lace bow adorned Valentino dress paired with a fun feathery gray clutch
Chow Yun Fat's wife also couldn't resist the urge to have a bit of lace on the bell of her sleeves, but seriously whoever dresses this woman needs to be fired. I don't think I've ever liked anything she's worn, everything is frumpy and shapeless!
Zhou Dong Yu looked age appropriate in this short black and white leaf appliqued dress

Eva Huang isn't afraid of mixing prints in this long sleeved dress
Zhou Xun is almost always in Chanel at every red carpet and it suits her perfectly
HK girl group Twins' Gillian and Charlene both opted for black dresses but Charlene wins my vote for best dressed twin in her long sheer (with a slip) dress with a sweetheart neckline.
Tang Wei (L) in Roberto Cavalli and Kara Hui both went with patterned v-neck dresses
Gong Li looked graceful and tan (even when she fell on stage lols) in this strapless black Alex Wang evening gown
Xu Fan opted for a traditional qi pao
Sammi (not afraid to admit she has a chest flatter than an airport tarmac) Cheng, shows that she's still got it at the age of 39 by wearing this forest green assymetrical cutout dress. Va-va-va-voom!
Jiang Wen Li also couldn't resist picking out a black v-neck dress for the event in Beijing
Sandra Ng, the big winner of the night, failed to impress in a plain black scoop neck dress. Yawn.
Joey Yung (L) has never been afraid to experiment with fashion but I don't really get this outfit... is she supposed to be a lamp shade? and Yumiko Cheng (R) went for a simple metallic gunmetal jumper, but homegirl forgot to accessorize!
Annie Yi chose to attend in this Christian Dior lace appliqued pastel gown that failed to really dazzle
Yang Mi went with a neutral gown that was perfect for her shape
Yan Ni went in last season's favorite nude colored dress
Michelle Yeoh (far right) who knew she was still around?! looked gorgeous in this princess pink gown with floral beading [with John Woo and his wife]
Crystal Liu looked beautiful in this soft pink tiered ruffle gown
Material Queen's Lynn Xiong glowed in her ruffled salmon gown
(Drama Fashion: Material Queen coming soon!!)
Kitty Zhang, you can;t see in this photo but this red hot dress has a long slit up to there
Liu Xiao Qing is not impressing anyone in this gold tone dress with a cape, the necklace is also too big for this dress, a dainty one goes a long way


Which lace dress was your favorite? Leave a comment below!

H&M loves Asians


Has anyone else noticed that H&M is having an Asian love affair lately? lol So happy one of my favorite brands is recognizing us Asians as a large part of their demographic!


First, there was the street style video which featured everyday people on the streets of Shanghai, China.




Then... Chinese models Sun Fei Fei and Du Juan grace the Fall/Winter '10 H&M ads


And lastly, they follow around Chinese fashion blogger Susie Bubble as she got ready and attended the Lanvin for H&M fashion show.



Thanks H&M for recognizing us Asians as being fashionable and beautiful, your positive recognition of diversity just makes me appreciate the brand even more! ;D

On another note: Fellow Asian blogger Pop Champagne (love her blog!) is hosting an awesome contest giveaway for the flat iron seen below! Come up with a funny caption for the pic on her blog post and enter to win! Go now! Good Luck! :)

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.

in an Elie Saab gown at the Cannes Film Festival, one of my favorite Bing Bing looks! Gorgeous!

with designer Elie Saab

wearing Louis Vuitton at amfAR's Cinema Against AIDS 2010 benefit gala
with Marc Jacobs at Paris Fashion Week wearing a Louis Vuitton dress

At Bono's Rising Africa charity event

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 =)

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.
