Chinese actress Ju Jingyi, often dubbed the “4,000-year beauty,” has once again found herself at the center of online debate this time over her shoulder proportions following her appearance at the 2025 Harper’s Bazaar Jewelry Awards held on December 22.

Ju Jingyi attended the event as a brand ambassador, wearing a Haute Couture pleated gown from Belgian designer Peet Dullaert’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection, styled in an icy blue tone. She completed the look with a Fred Chance Infinie necklace adorned with blue zircon stones, earning praise for her ethereal styling and facial visuals.

While many fans admired Ju Jingyi’s appearance, a noticeable portion of netizens focused on her shoulders, criticizing them as “square,” “unnaturally broad,” and “masculine.” On Weibo, several comments described her full-body silhouette as disproportionate, despite acknowledging her delicate facial features.

  • Her face is beautiful, but her full-body shots look strange.
  • She’s too thin, and the shoulder-to-arm ratio feels off.

Videos and photos from the event further intensified the discussion, with some users claiming her shoulder muscles appeared unusually prominent and rigid during movement.

The controversy did not emerge overnight. Ju Jingyi has faced similar criticism since 2024, with online forums repeatedly dissecting changes in her shoulder shape. Some extreme comments compared her silhouette to “a double-door refrigerator,” while others claimed her shoulder blades formed an “M shape,” calling the appearance “distorted.”

Speculation has also surfaced regarding intense fitness routines or even cosmetic procedures, including unverified rumors of shoulder fillers or surgical enhancement. However, no medical evidence or official confirmation supports these claims.

In response, many fans and observers pushed back strongly, pointing out the double standards applied to female celebrities.

“Why aren’t male celebrities criticized for beer bellies, but a woman’s shoulders are analyzed to this extent?” one commenter wrote.

Some netizens revisited Ju Jingyi’s earlier photos, noting that her shoulders were once narrower and sloped, which made her head appear larger in proportion. As her image evolved, her shoulders appeared broader and more defined, creating what some viewers now perceive as imbalanc while others argue the change improved her overall proportions and stage presence.
