Dubbed by The New York Times as “China’s first bona fide supermodel”, Liu Wen is a force to be reckoned with. She has walked the runway for brands like Prada and Victoria’s Secret. But that’s not all. In fact, Liu Wen was also the first Chinese model to grace American Vogue’s cover, and first Asian model to ever make Forbes’ annual list of highest-paid models. Now, that itself is an impressive feat. Having fronted many fashion campaigns in her years, Liu Wen’s off-duty look seems surprisingly relaxed. More often than not, she’s photographed in a pair of denim jeans, sneakers and loose silhouettes like blazers, sweaters and jumpers. Here, we’ve rounded up some of Liu Wen’s key outfits and some style tips on how you can cop her look.
We’re tempted to say that the micro bag trend is back, but the fact is that it never really left. Here, Liu Wen is spotted with the KENZO monogram-jacquard phone and headphones holder that’s perfect for keeping your bare essentials while you’re out running errands.

Breezing through the day, Liu Wen looked chic and comfortable in a black turtleneck and a pair of denim jeans for that accentuates her figure while keeping it modest. She also tops her look with a simple YSL bag that’s timeless and stylish at the same time.

For many, monograms are fondly associated with early-2000s hotshots. Nevertheless, they still have a rightful place even as the fashion landscape continues to evolve. In this case, Liu Wen embodies an edgy yet relaxed take on clothing with her Balenciaga World Food Programme crew neck jumper and matching monogram bag.

Comfort is key in Liu Wen’s wardrobe and if you’ve followed her long enough, you’d notice that she tends to opt for chunky and casual sneakers for most of her outfits. Case in point: this simple yet chic look features Liu Wen’s pair of Valentino Garavani VL7N Sneaker in Banded Calfskin Leather. The two logo-embellished shoulder straps make the sneakers pop without drawing too much attention from her overall fit.

Standing at a height of 1.78m, you can imagine how tall the bona fide supermodel is. And what makes her even taller in her pictures: her flared jeans. The iconic silhouette has been making waves over the last few months for giving the illusion of longer-looking legs. And in most cases, you’ll find that Liu Wen can be seen in a pair of these jeans in most of her pictures on Instagram. Whether you’re looking for a new pair to add to your wardrobe or if you’re a little short in stature, these flared jeans are worth investing in to add a few inches to your height if you style it the right way.
