Zhao Lusi, currently lighting up screens with her role as Xuanyan in the romantic drama Love’s Ambition, has done more than just captivate audiences with her acting—she’s set off a fashion wildfire.
In one now-viral scene, Zhao Lusi’s character doesn’t just wear a bag—she wields it. The pastel pink Versace Croc-effect Medusa ’95 Small Tote became a surprise weapon of choice in a playful confrontation with a male character, instantly making the item the hottest accessory of the season.
“The way she used the bag—iconic!”
“Only Zhao Lusi can make hitting someone with a Versace look this elegant.”
Nicknamed online as the “hit bag”, the $2,300 accessory became a breakout star itself. Within hours of the episode airing, it climbed to the top of search trends across Chinese platforms and reportedly sold out in several international stores. The buzz was so intense that fashion watchers dubbed it a new Gen Z statement piece.
The bag itself isn’t just a meme magnet—it’s a design marvel. Crafted from luxurious croc-embossed leather and adorned with Versace’s iconic gold Medusa emblem, the compact silhouette is praised for its versatility, pairing perfectly with everything from streetwear to office-ready fits.
What’s even more impressive is Zhao Lusi’s repeated influence on the bag’s popularity. Back in June, even before the drama’s full release, a few seconds from the trailer showing her swinging the same Versace Medusa ’95 caught fashionistas’ attention and led to an early sell-out in China’s Tmall and beyond.
Zhao Lusi, already a global ambassador for Versace since 2023, has repeatedly showcased the Medusa ’95 in various colorways—proving she’s not just the face of a campaign but a driving commercial force. Every appearance she makes in Versace sends sales into overdrive.
Versace clearly knew what they were doing when they appointed her. Her image—a mix of sweet and stylish, youthful yet sophisticated—resonates perfectly with young Asian consumers. From pink pastels to bold blacks, Zhao Lusi’s lookbook moments continue to define luxury street fashion with a romantic twist.
Whether you’re a drama fan or a fashion enthusiast, one thing is clear: Zhao Lusi just turned a designer bag into a pop culture weapon —literally.
