Cold stare, sweet smooches and more Star Awards backstage drama
Cool girls don’t smile
image

Fergie once opined in a catchy tune that “big girls don’t cry.” But what about us fashion girls?

This backstage photo of starlets Carrie Wong and Sheila Sim says it all – cool girls don’t smile for the cameras.

Forget after parties. Let’s chill at the (car)park
image

There are many ways of celebrating a win but dishy actor Romeo Tan decided to spend it with his fans from The Juliet Club (geddit?) for a quick catch-up.

What a sweet way to “pay back” his fans who contributed to his entry in this year’s Top 10 Most Popular Male Artiste, right?

The best #OOTD goes to…

There might have been tears on stage but off stage, the adorable Aden Chen was a natural poser.

We think these photos from his Instagram are pretty cover-worthy, no? Perhaps he’ll grow up following his parents’ footsteps; looking forward to his win in the 2030 edition of the awards!

Playing peekaboo

Behind every sky-high stiletto is an equally chic pair of slippers. Such was the case for Taiwanese model-singer Amber An.

Pre-show, she proudly showed off her comfy footwear but don’t worry, she swapped those for her Louboutins before going on stage.

Put your game face on

Stare and you shall be turned into stone. Nah, we’re just kidding.

All Time Favourite Artiste Rui En may be infamous as being a stony-faced actress but hey, that’s just who she is (and there’s nothing wrong with that!).

Getting comfortable

Don’t believe that Rui En can be fun in front of the cameras? Just take a look at this pre-show picture.

Dressed comfortably in her own t-shirt and shorts, she gamely posed for this “dress-down” shot before being all dolled up for the awards ceremony.

Can’t stop the excitement

Hong Kong actor Bowie Lam flew in as an award presenter at last weekend’s Star Awards ceremony and enjoyed his fair share of attention; his famous fan Jeanette Aw couldn’t resist taking a photo with her idol.

Come to think about it, Lam and Aw would make a good onscreen couple, right?

Love is in the air

Ahhh…the power of sweet, sweet love. The studly Shane Pow was caught planting a lovely kiss on his bae Kimberly Wang’s forehead at the Star Awards backstage.

Maybe this was his way of keeping calm and steadying his nerves before the big night?

Hug me, baby!

On the other side of the room, another celebrity couple was also spotted sharing a lovey-dovey moment.

Felicia Chin and boyfriend Jeffrey Xu, both of whom opted to wear matching footwear, didn’t shy away from displaying their love for each other in a very public manner.

The forever Queen

Mirror, mirror on the wall. Will I win the Best Actress award after all? We’re kidding, Queen Zoe had no need for dark spells and magic to clinch her historic win.

But seriously, if we looked half as good as her, we’re pretty sure we won’t be able to resist gazing at ourselves in the mirror, too.
