Red, white and cool: How to dress for National Day as inspired by Fann, Zoe and other stars

Steal their styles

1/12

Looking for patriotic outfits that aren’t too crescent-moon-and-five-stars literal? We know, you’d want an outfit that is not only National Day appropriate, but versatile enough for work and off-duty days (like these jumpsuits). Fret not, we’ve got your back. We look to these celebs for some #inspo as they paint the town red in their well put-together looks. All that’s left to do is to check out that shopping cart.

Fann Wong

2/12

Looking sophisticated in her striking red dress, Fann Wong’s fair skin is complemented by the pop of colour on her dress. We like how she kept everything simple by not wearing accessories, emulating a very ladylike look.

Get her look with Solace London’s Esme woven halterneck gown. Crafted with touches of linen for a subtle slub finish, this enhances the fluid and asymmetric lines that falls gracefully. Like Fann, keep it simple and lay off the accessories.

Joey Yung

3/12

Hong Kong singer and actress flaunts her sensual collarbone with a one shoulder printed red blouse. The tiered ruffle blouse adds texture to her entire look and she keeps the rest of the outfit simple with just a casual pair of jeans.

Show off your collarbones as well with this off shoulder wrap shirt. The attention is all on the ribbon and ruffle sleeve, so team yours with a pair of cropped pants or jeans to keep the outfit clean. Or read our guide on how to wear it to work.

Zoe Tay

4/12

Classy in white, Zoe Tay nails the androgynous look with her white collared shirt. We love how she puts her hair up and adds a touch of femininity with her drop-down earrings.

Get her look with Valentino’s studded cotton-poplin shirt. Lined with the house’s iconic gold studs along the collar, it lends a modern update to the crisp white shirt. Pair yours with printed pants in a half-tuck.

Rebecca Lim

5/12

While we know Rebecca is a tall lady, her pair of pants adds additional height to her due to the high waisted detail. Plus, vertical stripes help in creating the illusion of a more slender frame.

Get Rebecca’s look with this pair of vibrant batik print pants. Made from cotton-blend, this cropped straight-leg fit gathers at the waist, we suggest wearing yours with a shirt knotted to highlight the high-rise waist.

Hot mama Joanne Peh keeps cool in her cold shoulder blouse. We love how she tucked her blouse in with a cropped black pants, which helps to frame her slender silhouette.

Keep it classy like her with the one shoulder asymmetric top from Asos. The tiered blouse is pretty versatile; you can wear it with just about anything. From a midi skirt to pants to dressy shorts.

7/12

Don’t you just love this pleated dress on director and actress, Michelle Chong? The slouchy fit and ruffle sleeves lends a babydoll appearance to the dress. To add some rocker chic factor, she pairs her dress with a pair of suede black boots.

Do the same with Alexander McQueen’s red mini dress. Style it with some black boots or strappy sandals.

Jeanette Aw

8/12

Jeanette looks real snug in her turtle neck little white dress. Teamed with a pair of white sneakers and a ponytail, she keeps her outfit clean and casual with no accessories.

While this dress from Apiece Apart may not be a turtleneck, it still is a trusty ensemble that you can throw on for casual dates. Like going to the museum. Plus, it looks just as comfy as Jeanette’s.

Ya Hui

10/12

Ya Hui is looking sweet in her collared white blouse and megawatt smile. She pairs it with a casual denim skirt with floral motifs all-over, which lends a college chic-feel to her overall look.

Queen of Taiwan pop, Jolin Tsai nails the street style look with a pair red flare slacks and an oversized shirt tied over a sports bra. She shows how it’s okay to bare, as long as you keep it classy.
