Since breaking into the entertainment industry after winning the Star Search competition in 1988, Zoe Tay has built an illustrious acting career, bagging numerous acting and popularity awards, and remaining a sought-after actress. Remember Bobo in Pretty Faces? Or perhaps Zhou Weiyun in The Dream Makers?

Zoe is also undeniably one of the best dressed local celebrities, having fronted countless magazine covers including Her World. Additionally, she’s a regular fixture at fashion shows and events (pre-pandemic, of course).

Thanks to Instagram, we get to have a peek into some of her most epic fashion moments, lust-worthy wardrobe, and impeccable style. And from what we’ve observed, there’s pretty much nothing she can’t pull off. 

To celebrate her 55th birthday on January 10, we’re zooming in on some of her best outfits. So, if you want in on how to dress as fabulously as Zoe, read on for some easy style tips and tricks!

5 simple style lessons to learn from Zoe Tay
#1: Dare to go bold

One of the simplest ways to style up a plain white top? Add a dose of colour (and fun!) in the form of a bold bag.

#2: Where comfort meets style

The next time you’re going on a tropical getaway be sure to take a cue from Zoe by opting for a long and flowy white dress. Not only is it a versatile piece, but this dress also boasts a relaxed silhouette with a softly tailored bodice that accentuates the waist which also goes well with a pair of strappy sandals.

#3: Play with prints

If a full-blown colour block getup seems a tad too much to handle, you can try to inject life into your outfit by opting for a dash of colour or prints like a printed skirt to match your top.

If you didn’t already know, the polka trend is back in full force (read: Yayoi Kusama’s collaboration with Louis Vuitton). Here, Zoe keeps her outfit chic and sleek by opting for a full white ensemble with a trendy polka dot denim jacket and a black pair of boots to add some height to your look.
