Red Carpet Fashion Awards

Zhang Ziyi In Georges Chakra Couture  - ‘The Grandmasters’ Beijing Press Conference

Zhang Ziyi continues to leave me in awe of her red carpet choices.

On Sunday she attended two press conferences held at the Marriott Hotel in Beijing, China for her latest project ‘The Grandmasters’ sporting two very different looks.

Starting with my favourite: she donned a super-chic Georges Chakra Fall 2012 Couture black-and-white look with a PVC dress and flowing cape.

This look is so edgy, sexy and modern that I can totally forgive those clunky Giuseppe Zanotti triple-stacked platform peep-toes. Read more…

Zhang Ziyi In Reem Acra - Chinese Music Charts Concert

Zhang Ziyi continued her busy week at the Chinese Music Charts Concert in Taipei, Taiwan on Saturday.

She opted for a stunning Reem Acra Spring 2013 gown.

The heavenly cream gown with gold floral embroidered details on the bodice was the perfect way to close a very stylish year for the Asian actress.

Many of us thought she had lost her desire to opt for princess-like gowns, as she tried out many edgier looks throughout the year, so this spectacular gown will no doubt delight many of you.

A simple updo, Sergio Rossi pumps and dazzling Bulgari earrings completed her look.

You may remember that Carrie Underwood also wore this gown.

Zhang Ziyi In Christian Dior - Grazia's 100th Issue Party

Zhang Ziyi had a busy end of year, as she attended Grazia’s 100th issue celebratory party held in Shanghai, China before Christmas.

The beautiful actress wore a Christian Dior Fall 2012 black gown, which featured a sheer plunging neckline and a textured skirt.

What was most surprising about this look was that it was worn just six days after my other favourite Asian actress, Carina Lau.

Zhang styled her look with a Badgley Mischka necklace, Bulgari earrings and a Dior clutch.

I don’t know about you, but the necklace seems to overpower the look. I don’t think it enhances this look at all, which is a shame because aside from that she looks divine.

Towards the end of last year, Zhang Ziyi attended the BQ Awards 2012 held in Beijing, China, where she picked up an award.

The beautiful actress once again opted for a dress by her favourite designer, Marc Bouwer.

Her gold sequined Fall 2012 dress with futuristic sculptured sleeves was styled with matching gold YSL ‘Palais’ peep-toes and gold jewels.

Looking effortlessly elegant as always, she completed her look with a simple ponytail and flawless makeup.

WWIB Zhang & Rita Ora

Zhang Ziyi sported a pristine ensemble from Mugler’s Fall 2012 collection on the red carpet back in September while attending a press conference for ‘Dangerous Liaisons’ in Beijing, China.

The petite actress let the edgy look shine by pairing the peplum-adorned dress with sky-high Christian Louboutin ‘Daffodile’ pumps, minimal – yet still shimmering – Cindy Chao jewelry, and a sleek hairstyle. Plus, she really emphasized her tiny waist, using the structure of the dress to her advantage.

Singer Rita Ora donned the same futuristic look back in November while posing on the red carpet for the MOBO Awards in Liverpool, England.

While Rita definitely strikes a stylish chord with her red lips and matching Sergio Rossi clutch, she falls short with her accessory choices. I find that pure white looks tend to feel more sophisticated when paired with silver, so Rita’s flashy gold bangles and Dsquared² heels seem a bit on the distracting side.

Ziyi wins this Mugler mash-up thanks to her understated accoutrements.

We were all in shock, not in a good way, when we saw Cate Blanchett take to the red carpet at the 2012 Helpmann Awards, held in Sydney, Australia last month.

That’s because we found ourselves not liking her Fendi look.

Her LBD with balloon sleeves was styled with equally lacklustre all black accessories.

Zhang Ziyi wore the look a week later to the Dangerous Liasons’ press conference during the 17th Busan Film Festival in South Korea.

The actress totally transformed the look by taking styling inspiration from the runway, adding the peplum corseted belt, textured bolero and Fendi ‘Fendista’ pumps.

This is an easy win for Zhang.
