Happy birthday to Kris Wu – we celebrate the fashion icon’s most stylish moments
The actor, singer and rapper represents China’s young consumers and is the go-to ambassador for luxury brands when they want to appeal to the younger generation
Canadian-Chinese star Kris Wu, who was born on November 6, 1990 in Guangzhou and moved to Vancouver at the age of 10, turns 28 today.
Since launching his career as a member of K-pop band EXO, Wu has become China’s most influential pop star, leading the trends in music, films and TV.
He’s also fashion’s new favourite, having mastered an androgynous – or, as he as a rapper would say, “dope” – style that mixes funky street elements and high fashion. The trendsetter represents China’s young consumers, and is the go-to ambassador for luxury brands when they want to appeal to the younger generation. He has been the face of Bulgari, Burberry and, most recently, Louis Vuitton.
We look at some of the star’s most stylish moments on the international stage.
Last month, the musician attended the 2018 American Music Awards at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California, where he lives from time to time. Wu brought street style to the red carpet of the AMAs by matching a Louis Vuitton floral print jacket from the 2019 spring collection with a rapper’s staples – ripped jeans, high-top sneakers and gold chains.
Wu was named Fan Fave New Artist at this year’s iHeartRadio MMVAs.
