In order to let Gu Ailing catch up with the 2022 Met Gala event, luxury brand LV specially chartered a plane to send Gu Ailing back to the United States. This time, Gu Ailing did not disappoint everyone, wearing a black bandeau dress and making a stunning appearance on the red carpet of the Met Gala. In addition to being invited to participate in the 2022 Met Gala event, Gu Ailing was also invited to participate in the Women's Sports Summit in New York, when she will take the stage to speak, it can be said that Gu Ailing has indeed become the darling of the fashion industry.
However, Gu Ailing's controversial remarks this time have aroused heated discussion among many netizens. At the scene of the 2022 Met Gala event, Gu Ailing directly showdowned and returned to the United States to call himself Asian American. Here's the thing, Gu Ailing is the global spokesperson of the LV brand, and the black bandeau dress she wears this time is the spring and summer style of the brand for 17 years. Didn't expect that? In the style of 5 years ago, Gu Ailing wore a sense of fashion trend, and the confident light emitted from the inside out also added a lot of points to Gu Ailing.
So why does Gu Ailing call herself Asian-American? In fact, this is closely related to the black bandeau dress she wears. As we mentioned above, this leather dress is a 17-year-old style, plus it belongs to the luxury brand LV, and naturally there are stars who wear the same style before. South Korean star Jeong Ho-yeon once walked the catwalk through this leather dress, coincidentally, Jeong Ho-yeon was also invited to participate in the Met Gala event, and Gu Ailing also exchanged with Jeong Ho-yeon and took a group photo.
Perhaps, Gu Ailing is looking for common topics, so she takes the black leather dress she wears as an entry point. In a conversation with Zheng Haoyan, Gu Ailing said that she was very lucky, after all, this leather skirt was worn by two Asian Americans (referring to the leather dress that Zheng Haoyan wore when she walked the catwalk before). At this time, Gu Ailing used "Asian American" to refer to Zheng Haoyan and herself.
At the beginning, some netizens thought that Gu Ailing was a slip of the tongue? After all, she had previously represented China in the Winter Olympics, and should have obtained Chinese citizenship. Coupled with the fact that China does not recognize dual citizenship, Gu Ailing is naturally Chinese, so how can she use "Asian American" to refer to herself? As it turns out, Gu Ailing is not a slip of the tongue, because in a conversation with Emma Chamberlain, a post-00s beauty artist in the United States, Gu Ailing once again called herself "Asian American".
Although Gu Ailing returned to the United States to claim to be Asian-American, the US media did not seem to appreciate it, bluntly saying that she was recognized as An American only after holding a card on behalf of the United States. The US media "Womensenews" published an article with a rough content: "Gu Ailing is an American-born skier, but she won the winter Olympic gold medal for China and became a controversial athlete." For many Americans, the 18-year-old genius is labeled a traitor. Asian-American? Only if she holds a card on behalf of the United States will she be recognized! ”
Judging from the current situation, Neither side of Gu Ailing wanted to offend. On the Chinese side, Gu Ailing received countless applause and applause, commercial value soared, and countless endorsements lined up to sign contracts with her. In the United States, many activities have invited Gu Ailing to participate, which has also made Gu Ailing a darling in the fashion industry. Not only that, Gu Ailing will continue to study at the famous American university Stanford University, and she naturally hopes to avoid unnecessary trouble. Wanting to have a good relationship on both sides is indeed a technical job. I have to say that Gu Ailing is really too tired!
