The station’s flagship beauty pageant gave rise to some of the biggest stars in Asian entertainment, including familiar names such as Cannes Film Festival best actress Maggie Cheung, actress and socialite Michele Reis, and Hong Kong Film Awards best actress winner Anita Yuen.

For years, winning the top spot in the pageant was a sure way to break into the Hong Kong entertainment scene. Winners and runners-up often were guaranteed contracts with TVB, where many would hone their acting skills in various drama series.

This year’s winner Hilary Chong and first and second runners-up Lynn Wang and Lovelle Wang will surely be on the fast track too with their titles in tow.
