Chinese actress Liu Yifei unexpectedly became the center of online debate after her appearance at Paris Fashion Week on March 10. The star attended a runway show as a brand ambassador, but her outfit quickly drew criticism from fans and fashion observers across social media.
For the event, Liu Yifei wore a loose pink dress featuring the brand’s stylized logo and red textured details across the body and collar. She paired the look with knee-high boots, straight hair, and bold makeup. While the outfit was meant to highlight the brand’s design concept, many viewers felt the overall styling failed to enhance the actress’s appearance.
Photos taken by Getty Images — often nicknamed the “fearless camera” by fans — showed Liu Yifei with noticeably heavy foundation and dramatic makeup, which became a major talking point online. Several netizens commented that the thick makeup made her face appear overly powdered in close-up shots.
The actress, often referred to by fans as the “Fairy Sister,” is widely known for her elegant and natural beauty. However, this particular look sparked disappointment among some fans, who described the styling as overly flashy, outdated, and not suitable for a high-fashion event.
Online discussions quickly spread across Chinese social platforms such as Weibo and Xiaohongshu, where many users questioned the styling choices for both makeup and wardrobe. Some commenters even joked that they needed to “wash their eyes” after seeing the outfit, reflecting the strong reactions generated by the look.
The conversation intensified when fans compared Liu Yifei’s outfit to that of Lisa from BLACKPINK, who also appeared at the event. Many netizens felt the K-pop star’s styling looked more modern and flattering, which further fueled debate about Liu Yifei’s fashion choices.
Despite the criticism, Liu Yifei remains one of China’s most influential actresses and fashion ambassadors, frequently invited to major global fashion events. Her appearance at Paris Fashion Week once again demonstrated the intense attention celebrities receive on international red carpets, where every styling detail can quickly become a trending topic online.
