At the Vogue China 20th Anniversary – Fashion Gala held in Shanghai on October 23, Liu Yifei once again lived up to her nickname “fairy sister” (神仙姐姐), commanding the spotlight with her ethereal beauty and elegant aura even when faced with a string of unexpected wardrobe malfunctions.
Wearing an exquisite Elie Saab Fall/Winter 2025 haute couture gown, said to be adorned with 3,000 hand-embroidered floral details and taking over 2,000 hours to create, Liu Yifei looked like she stepped straight out of a moving garden. The look was completed with a jaw-dropping BVLGARI high jewelry set worth 100 million RMB (approx. $13.6 million USD), instantly turning heads across the venue.
But being the vedette of the evening wasn’t without its challenges. While gracefully walking the red carpet, Liu Yifei‘s BVLGARI bracelet unexpectedly unlatched, risking a high-fashion disaster. Yet, with poised elegance, she gently lifted her dress to secure the bracelet, continuing her pose as if nothing happened an effortless performance under pressure. Once cameras stopped flashing, she quietly handed the bracelet to her assistant before heading up the stage, earning widespread admiration from netizens.
“Her poise was smoother than the silk of her couture gown,” one Weibo user praised.
Later in the evening, while organizing for a group photo with other top celebrities, Vogue China’s editor-in-chief, Liu Xun, accidentally stepped on the trailing hem of her expensive dress. Again, Liu Yifei handled the moment with grace subtly adjusting her gown and giving Liu Xun a gentle nudge paired with a signature smile and air-kiss to the crowd. The moment, though fleeting, became another viral highlight, showcasing her unmatched composure.
These back-to-back incidents not only tested Liu Yifei’s red carpet finesse but also highlighted her polished star power the kind that comes from two decades in the industry. Her seamless reactions reminded the public why she continues to reign as a true fashion icon and global ambassador.
In a night filled with glitz, glamour, and fierce competition, Liu Yifei stood out not just for her look, but for her grace under pressure transforming mishaps into viral moments, all while maintaining the poise of a true legend.
