Model turned movie star ready to settle down with right man

Lynn Xiong Dailin (pictured, left) showed serious enthusiasm in returning to modelling work after a gruelling six months filming a new Taiwanese production, Material Queen, in which she plays a gold-digging fashion lover.

The Nanjing beauty was all smiles as she led the finale to the Joy and Peace spring show last week in a satin snakeskin print dress and a pair of nude 10cm sandals from the brand's collection. Xiong said she had been trying to slim since filming ended last month.

'I ate a lot of hotpot while we were working in Taiwan; it's really hard to resist,' she said. 'I gained a few kilos, which I'm hoping to shed now that I'm free to take more modelling gigs. I really love doing runway shows.'

As ever, the actress-model talked around the media's questions about her alleged romantic relationship with Hong Kong singer-actor Aaron Kwok Fu-shing. She did, however, indicate that she would like to 'settle down' in the next few years.

'I've been in the business for over 10 years now,' she said. 'I've got a lot of job satisfaction in that time, but in my personal life I feel like I've been just floating here and there.

'It would be nice to find the same level of happiness at home that I've found in my career.'
