Inside Hong Kong star Gillian Chung’s stylish wardrobe: one half of Cantopop duo Twins, she shot to fame in the early 2000s – at 42, she’s rocking luxury fashion from Prada and Balenciaga to Bulgari
Since her debut alongside Charlene Choi in Cantopop duo Twins in 2001, Gillian Chung is no stranger to being scrutinised for her looks.
While Chung most recently faced unfair criticism and body-shaming comments at Shanghai Fashion Week last April, she remains undeterred and continues to radiate elegance in the world of fashion and entertainment.
Let’s delve into her enviable wardrobe that shows her captivating sense of style.
Monochrome: Prada, Ferrari, Echtego
Chung is also an avid admirer of the renowned Italian luxury fashion brand Prada. She showcased her affinity for the label by donning its beloved feather-trimmed cotton-poplin shirt. The Forensic JD star effortlessly paired the top with a sophisticated pair of Givenchy trousers.
As early as 2018, Chung displayed her mastery of monochrome when she wore a striking ensemble from the New York-based luxury sportswear brand Echtego at a Twins concert.
Heels: Stuart Weitzman, Giuseppe Zanotti, René Caovilla
Standing at 157cm (5ft and 2 inches), it is understandable why Chung frequently opts for heels to enhance her stature – and when she chooses to elevate her look, she relies on reputable brands like Stuart Weitzman and Giuseppe Zanotti.
Notably, in 2019, the petite performer wore a pair of René Caovilla creation at the opening ceremony of its inaugural flagship store at Harbour City.
In recent years, Chung’s physical appearance has garnered attention from both media and fans, who have not only commented on her stature but also her slim frame.
As reported by The Star, she underwent a weight loss of 13kg after she took part in the reality show Sisters Who Make Waves.
Dresses: Balenciaga, Coach, Anna Sui
Speaking of stunning dresses that perfectly complement her incredible footwear collection, Chung has had her fair share of regal moments in frocks from renowned fashion houses such as Balenciaga and Coach.
Another beloved New York label that holds a special place in Chung’s heart? Anna Sui! The fashion-forward singer had the pleasure of wearing one of Sui’s creations back in 2019.
As Chung expressed her openness to new romances in 2021, per Yahoo! News, after her divorce from Taiwanese cosmetologist Michael Lai, she could certainly consider re-wearing one of these stunning dresses for her future dates.
Jewellery: Piaget, Pomellato, Bulgari
Chung’s fashion prowess extends beyond her outfits as she effortlessly amplifies her ensembles with dazzling jewellery and accessories. Lately, she has been gravitating towards renowned luxury watchmaker and jeweller Piaget, as well as the esteemed Italian brand Pomellato.
In the past, the enchanting songstress has also donned remarkable pieces from prominent names such as Bulgari and Emperor Jewellery.
Fun fact: Chung’s beauty is so captivating that she was once detained at an airport in Germany simply because she was deemed too stunning, per The Star. The officers doubted her intention in the country despite her pointing out that she’s in fact a celebrity in Hong Kong.
Coordinating with Charlene Choi
When critics tried to pass judgment on Chung’s weight gain back in 2021, her long-time friend promptly came to her defence. According to Straits Times, Choi explained that Chung was dealing with a hormonal imbalance and emphasised that what truly mattered was her friend’s happiness and health.
