Victoria Song has recently found herself at the center of heated online discussion but not for her acting or star power. Instead, each of her public appearances has sparked debate over fashion choices that many netizens find increasingly puzzling and unflattering.
Rather than praise for her visuals or presence, the actress has been met with a wave of criticism aimed at outfits described as awkwardly tailored, outdated in silhouette, and poorly styled overall. Many believe the cuts fail to complement her figure, while the color palettes and layering weigh down her appearance instead of enhancing it. On social media, some users have gone as far as labeling her the “new fashion disaster of C-entertainment,” jokingly asking whether she has a personal grudge against her stylist given how often her looks seem to work against her.
The controversy peaked at a recent event where Victoria appeared in a reddish-brown dress made of thin, lightweight fabric that many compared to sleepwear. The design’s dated shape and tiny floral embroidery gave the outfit an old-fashioned feel, making it look especially out of place in a formal event setting. Critics noted that the dress failed not only in elegance but also in highlighting her physique.
Adding to the criticism was her hairstyle a short, curled look with wispy bangs that many felt aged her dramatically. Online reactions were blunt, with some saying the styling made her look years older and questioning how a look with so few redeeming qualities could have been approved at all.
This was not an isolated incident. At major events such as the Starlight Awards, where many Chinese celebrities appeared in carefully curated, glamorous ensembles, Victoria’s outfits once again drew mixed reactions. Both looks she wore were described as overly complicated, filled with excessive details that lacked cohesion. Instead of appearing bold or high-fashion, the styling came off as heavy and mismatched, ultimately dulling her presence on the red carpet.
The criticism feels especially stark when compared to her earlier image. During her time under SM Entertainment as the leader of f(x), Victoria was widely praised for her sleek, modern fashion sense and confident aura. Her outfits were often minimal yet striking, with clean silhouettes that emphasized her strengths. That restraint became part of her signature charm.
Since shifting her career focus back to China and leaving her former agency, however, many fans feel that Victoria’s overall styling and visual direction have lost their sharpness. What was once a polished, distinctive fashion identity now appears inconsistent, leaving netizens wondering not only what went wrong but who, exactly, is responsible for letting it happen.
