Despite recently going through a whirlwind of wedding celebrations, Ming Xi appeared radiant and effortlessly elegant during her latest public appearance.

Ever since her extravagant wedding captured widespread media attention, every move made by Ming Xi has remained under intense public scrutiny. On June 16, she made her first appearance before the media since the wedding while attending a MaxMara event in Shanghai. The renowned model did not disappoint fans, once again proving her status as an international supermodel and one of the most influential heiress brides in Chinese entertainment.

At the event, Ming Xi immediately drew attention in a sophisticated deep red dress. The rich color beautifully highlighted her porcelain complexion while showcasing the flawless figure that once graced the Victoria’s Secret runway. Despite the demanding schedule surrounding her wedding festivities, she maintained a fresh, radiant appearance and an unmistakably luxurious aura. Rather than relying on extravagant accessories, her minimalist styling and confident presence allowed her natural elegance to shine.

Another highlight of the event was Ming Xi’s reunion with “snow princess” Eileen Gu. The Olympic freestyle skiing star was among the guests who attended Ming Xi and Mario Ho’s wedding celebration. Both women are prominent figures in fashion and entertainment, representing a modern image of successful and influential women.

Photos of the pair chatting and laughing together quickly became a hot topic on social media. The image of the powerful heiress bride alongside the globally recognized sports icon created a striking visual moment. Ming Xi’s sophisticated beauty combined with Eileen Gu’s youthful charisma and intelligence captivated fans, further demonstrating Ming Xi’s influence at major international events.

In July 2019, Mario Ho officially registered his marriage to Victoria’s Secret model Ming Xi after a grand proposal featuring 99,999 roses. Seven years into their marriage, the couple now has two children: a son, Ronaldo Ho, born in 2019, and a daughter born in 2022. After giving birth to the family’s first grandson and reportedly helping secure a larger share of the family inheritance for her husband, Ming Xi’s position within the Ho family significantly strengthened. Once said to have faced disapproval from her mother-in-law, she is now regarded as a trusted partner who actively assists with family business affairs.

The wedding of Mario Ho and Ming Xi was one of the most extravagant celebrity events in recent memory. According to industry sources, the ceremony held at Mont Saint-Michel in France reportedly cost around 300 million yuan. The bride wore a Dior Haute Couture wedding gown that required more than 600 hours of handcrafting. Her necklace, created by GRAFF, featured 52 round brilliant-cut diamonds, ranging from 1.07 carats to an impressive 7.14 carats. The wedding photographer was Jose Villa, who previously photographed the wedding of Justin and Hailey Bieber.

Prior to the main ceremony, Ming Xi stunned guests at an intimate welcome dinner for family members and close friends by wearing a diamond jewelry set totaling 103.7 carats, including earrings, bracelets, and rings valued at approximately 49 million yuan. Reports also claimed that the couple covered airfare and hotel expenses for guests while presenting wedding gift boxes worth 6,000 yuan each. According to Chinese outlet 163, the total cost per guest was estimated at approximately 70,000 yuan.

Although some observers have questioned the reported figures and suggested sponsorship deals may have offset certain expenses, there is little doubt that the wedding of Mario Ho and Ming Xi remains one of the most talked-about celebrity events of the year.

Mario Ho is the son of Angela Leong, the fourth wife of casino magnate Stanley Ho. Born in 1995, he is six years younger than Ming Xi and is known for his exceptional academic achievements. He won awards in international mathematics competitions for two consecutive years and was accepted into both the University of Oxford and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) at age 18. He ultimately chose MIT, earning a master’s degree in 2016 before returning to Hong Kong to build his own business career.

Meanwhile, Ming Xi, born in 1989, rose to international fame as one of China’s most successful supermodels, gaining worldwide recognition through her appearances in Victoria’s Secret Fashion Shows.
