On October 23, the Vogue Film Gala 2025 took place in Shanghai, gathering top-tier Chinese celebrities. While expectations ran high, the red carpet outcome left many stunned and not for the right reasons.

Among the chaos, Liu Yifei stood out like a celestial vision. Appearing last to close the red carpet, “the fairy sister” stunned in just 9 seconds of unedited footage. Her appearance sparked both admiration and concern as netizens noted her extremely slender frame, visible in her shoulders and arms. Fans were divided: “She looks like a painting,” one commented, while another worried, “Has she lost too much weight?”

In studio photos released prior to the event, Liu captivated social media with her floral goddess look. Yet even her divine visuals couldn’t salvage what many dubbed “the scariest red carpet in C-Ent history.” Fashion missteps from both veterans and rising stars were too numerous to ignore.

Actress Yang Mi, known for her “million-dollar legs,” appeared visibly fatigued. Her dull styling and tired expression disappointed fans, who described her look as “aging and uninspired.”

Gülnezer Bextiyar (Nazha) earned praise for her timeless black-and-white gown, embodying elegance and grace from every angle. Similarly, aespa’s Ning Ning channeled royal energy with her regal presence.

But the compliments were rare.

Dian Xi Wei shocked viewers with a bizarre yellow wig and an over-designed outfit that did nothing for her natural beauty. Rising star Lu Yu Xiao wore a puzzling ensemble that made her appear shorter, sparking online mockery. Zhou Dongyu drew ridicule for her “tablecloth” dress, while actor Zhang Wan Yi became a meme for his fishmonger-like getup.

Even male stars like Mika made headlines he showed up in a wedding dress, earning both praise for gender-fluid boldness and confusion from more traditional fans.

Netizens did not hold back. “Who dressed these stars?”, “Was this a costume party?”, and “Fire all the stylists!” trended across Weibo. Despite the chaos, some found solace in the beauty of Zhang Jingyi, Gina Jin, and Victoria Song, who opted for classic styles. Yet overall sentiment remained negative.

“This red carpet wasn’t just disappointing it was horrifying,” one Weibo user summarized. And with that, the Vogue Film Gala 2025 enters the books not for its glamour, but for its shocking fashion blunders proving even Liu Yifei’s radiant presence couldn’t save the night.
