Hustlers’ Constance Wu shows how amazing you can look when you wear a colour that’s complementary to your skin tone. And canary yellow is definitely Wu’s colour as it made her warm-toned skin glow in the Versace tulle gown to the Oscars.

White dresses make you look ethereal and young. And in the case of Angelica Lee Sinje, the pairing of the lacy see-through white Dior gown with the black lingerie underneath masterfully played on translucency and gave the Malaysian actress the victory on the red carpets of the Golden Horse Awards.

The Singaporean actress wanted something simple and classy for Star Awards. But little did she know that her Style Lease navy strapless dress would score her a win as one of our best red carpet looks of 2019.

If there’s a style lesson you have to learn from Qin Lan’s outfit to a Cartier event in Hong Kong is that red dresses are the next LBDs. With its peaked shoulder details accompanied with its floor-length train and sleeve length, Qin looks absolutely regal.

Tulle was the name of Angelababy’s game. The actress was nothing short of a princess in a classic soft pink Giambattista Valli design that featured copious amount of the light, ethereal fabric at the 2019 Harper’s Bazaar Charity Gala.
