asian fashion: August 2011

I hope the 'wrath' of Hurricane Irene didn't ruin everyone's weekend on the east coast! Thankfully I had electricity throughout otherwise I would've been super bored and wouldn't have known that there was an award show in China for the best in film! I was surprised to see how much black lace dresses there were on this red carpet, Lace is a definite must have this season! Will you be wearing it?

Yuan Li in a revealing lace dress. I know what you're thinking, "What was she thinking?!" I see Paris, I see France, I see Yuan Li's underpants! Well at least she wasn't wearing granny panties like Taylor Swift, now that would've been embarrasing! Even though I am a bit more slender than Li, I don't have the self confidence to ever wear something like this without a slip!

Zhang Ziyi in a much more modest yet still sexy gown by Tom Ford

Zhang Jing Chu also opted for a long sleeved lace dress by Christian Dior, though I wish she had paired it with a clutch rather than a mini purse, it made it look too casual.

Cheng Ting Jia is wearing what I consider to be the perfect amount of lace on any outfit, Loved this look!

Angelababy looked youthful and chic in a lace bow adorned Valentino dress paired with a fun feathery gray clutch

Chow Yun Fat's wife also couldn't resist the urge to have a bit of lace on the bell of her sleeves, but seriously whoever dresses this woman needs to be fired. I don't think I've ever liked anything she's worn, everything is frumpy and shapeless!

Zhou Dong Yu looked age appropriate in this short black and white leaf appliqued dress

Eva Huang isn't afraid of mixing prints in this long sleeved dress

Zhou Xun is almost always in Chanel at every red carpet and it suits her perfectly

HK girl group Twins' Gillian and Charlene both opted for black dresses but Charlene wins my vote for best dressed twin in her long sheer (with a slip) dress with a sweetheart neckline.

Tang Wei (L) in Roberto Cavalli and Kara Hui both went with patterned v-neck dresses

Gong Li looked graceful and tan (even when she fell on stage lols) in this strapless black Alex Wang evening gown

Xu Fan opted for a traditional qi pao

Sammi (not afraid to admit she has a chest flatter than an airport tarmac) Cheng, shows that she's still got it at the age of 39 by wearing this forest green assymetrical cutout dress. Va-va-va-voom!

Jiang Wen Li also couldn't resist picking out a black v-neck dress for the event in Beijing

Sandra Ng, the big winner of the night, failed to impress in a plain black scoop neck dress. Yawn.

Joey Yung (L) has never been afraid to experiment with fashion but I don't really get this outfit... is she supposed to be a lamp shade? and Yumiko Cheng (R) went for a simple metallic gunmetal jumper, but homegirl forgot to accessorize!

Annie Yi chose to attend in this Christian Dior lace appliqued pastel gown that failed to really dazzle

Yang Mi went with a neutral gown that was perfect for her shape

Yan Ni went in last season's favorite nude colored dress

Michelle Yeoh (far right) who knew she was still around?! looked gorgeous in this princess pink gown with floral beading [with John Woo and his wife]

Crystal Liu looked beautiful in this soft pink tiered ruffle gown

Material Queen's Lynn Xiong glowed in her ruffled salmon gown

(Drama Fashion: Material Queen coming soon!!)

Kitty Zhang, you can;t see in this photo but this red hot dress has a long slit up to there

Liu Xiao Qing is not impressing anyone in this gold tone dress with a cape, the necklace is also too big for this dress, a dainty one goes a long way

Which lace dress was your favorite? Leave a comment below!

I know, I haven't blogged in a gabillion months and a zillion weeks; to be honest I lost some inspiration after my vacation to South America (I knew I should've gone to Asia!) But I am back! Hope you guys will come back with me!

Today, I went to check out the Japanese Summer Festival at Mitsuwa = A day full of food, games and of course shopping!
