Aaron Kwok, Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp strut their stuff at the Hainan International Film Festival – so which stars were the best – and worst – dressed?
Celebrities stepped onto the red carpet in Sanya wearing outfits that revealed their sense – or lack – of style
Hainan is building up its cultural appeal with the launch of the first edition of the Hainan International Film Festival. The festival, held from December 9 to 16 in the island province’s capital city, Sanya, was attended by a host of big-name celebrities from both China and Hollywood.
All the stars dressed up for the event's closing ceremony, giving us a chance to see who’s in style, and who is not.
The best dressed award for women has to go to French actress Juliette Binoche. She stepped out in an empowering floor-length embellished gown custom made by Balmain. This came as no surprise, considering her history of wearing fascinating outfits by the French brand; she also brought the Balmain army with her to the 2018 Met Gala and 2017 Cannes Film Festival. The outfits are all sewn by Olivier Rousteing, Balmain’s creative director and the actress’s close friend.
As for the best dressed man, we vote for Hong Kong heavyweight Jackie Chan, the event’s ambassador. At 64 years old, the international kung fu star captured fashion’s hottest trend by donning white sneakers on the red carpet. As a long-time promoter of oriental culture, he opted for a breezy white Tang suit-style ensemble, looking effortlessly stylish. Well, as the saying goes in fashion, what’s local is global.
Johnny Deep, who co-starred with Binoche in the romance classic Chocolat, was also in Sanya, wearing Tom Ford head-to-toe – from his black O'Connor Tuxedo to his polka dot pocket square.
