China’s superstars are getting more and more involved in the fashion industry, be it wearing a certain designer’s dress on the red carpet, or publicly endorsing a brand through advertising or merely attending any presentations.

Take the example of Fan Bingbing. The Chinese starlet has in recent years become the exotic Asian favorite within the Western fashion industries, inviting her to appear at the artier Berlin Film Festival, glammed up Cannes Film Festival (where she now attends as the Asian L’Oreal ambassador),…. The 31-year-old however always manages to incorporate her own heritage into her get-ups, be it through a Chinese hairdo for one evening, glamming it up Shanghai Triad style, or by opting for a dragon-embroidery decorated gown (she made quite the memorable appearance in Cannes 2010). In the first half of 2012, we spotted Fan sitting front row at the Versace show, amongst many other shows, during Paris Fashion Week. Socializing away with former 007, one of my favorite Bonds, Pierce Brosnan, and supermodel/ actress Mila Jovovich, Fan stood out in her shiny metallic-palette adorned mini dress. (Marilyn sang it 50 years ago, “Diamonds (=shiny) are a girl’s best friend.”) In 2012, she was spotted in designs by Elie Saab, Giorgio Armani, Valentino, Tadashi Shoji, and many others, earning her the title of Best Dressed International Star of 2012.
